AR-15 SUPER DUTY MOD1 5.56X45 NATO COMPLETE UPPER RECEIVER Reviews & Ratings

Super Duty MOD1 Complete Upper 5.56x45 NATO

The Geissele Super Duty MOD1 Upper (Complete) features the latest in weapon technology available exclusively from Geissele Automatics. This complete upper chambered in 5.56mm features a nanoweapon-coated HUXWRX Flash Hider-QD muzzle device mounted to a Manganese Phosphate coated, CHF, Chrome Lined 1-7 twist barrel. Geissele barrels are precision machined and cold hammer forged utilizing the highest quality materials at their state of the art facility in North Wales, PA. The carbine length gas tube and Geissele Super Compact Gas Block with bomb-proof installation ensures reliability and optimal performance in extreme conditions.
Included is a brand new, Super Modular Rail MK16 that mates to the upper via a center aligning tab removing any chance of rail rotation. This rail is a variant of the SMR MK16, currently fielded by USASOC and renowned by operators for their performance and comfort.
Also included is the Geissele Reliability Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group. This Nanoweapon coated BCG features a properly torqued and staked, chrome lined gas key. The Cam Pin is machined from advanced, medical steel known as H13 which is also coated with Nanoweapon for maximum corrosion and wear resistance. The Geissele Reliability Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group also features extended upper rails, providing greater stability and dramatically increasing feeding reliability.
The Geissele Reliability Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group comes with the Geissele Stressproof Bolt. Made from Carpenter 158+, directly developed with Carpenter Steel metallurgists to create a material that is cleaner and has less impurities. This makes our Stressproof bolt stronger and more fatigue resistant. The Geissele Stressproof bolt is also forged, not machined from barstock. This allows us to optimize the grain structure of the steel to yield a bolt capable of 5 times the life of a mil-spec bolt. Each bolt is rigorously inspected, high pressure tested, mag particle inspected and Nanoweapon coated.
All of these technologies and advancements combine to bring to market a true next-gen upper for the AR-15 platform. The Super Duty Complete Upper from Geissele Automatics offers unmatched performance, accuracy and reliability.

Outstanding quality
I had heard great things about Geissele, we all have, but handling this upper in person is a whole other level. It’s incredibly well made, and really feels like a precise tool in your hand. Love the anodized finish, rail is rock solid, BCG glides like glass. Just all around perfect I’ll have to get the matching lower next.

Such a solid workhorse! Highly recommend!
I added this to my current pistol, lower, and even the look and feel of it you know you’re dealing with bombproof quality. Everything about it is refined and top quality. Really stepped up my game with this one.

Impressive shipping for a fantastic upper
Even with a snow storm the upper got here within a week. Pin and weld 14.5 with the huxwrx muzzle device is a fantastic rifle and my 11.5 was a 1 moa rifle with 62 grains, I expect better performance out to 500 with 77 grains in this upper!

Issue Fixed - Great Company
I left an earlier review detailing my issue with the pin&weld interfering with my Flow 556K suppressor. I returned the upper and bought a replacement. The replacement had the same issue. I email Geissele and they were amazing to deal with. After sending pictures the immediately responded with a RMA number and described what exactly will be done to fix the barrel. Fast, efficient and professional. Geissele has a new customer for life.

Had to Return
Was looking forward to this upper, given that the pin & weld is a Huxwrx muzzle device it was convenient since I run a Flow 556K. Unfortunately I have had to return the upper due to where the pin is located. The pin is not centered on the base of the muzzle device. This impedes a suppressor from sitting flush against the muzzle device as required for alignment.
