Luth-AR has just announced two new complete retro AR-15 upper receivers with 20-inch barrels.

Retro AR-15s are back in a big way, and Luth-AR is now offering complete carry handle uppers to help keep up with the demand. The company had previously offered some retro AR parts like furniture and standalone upper receivers, but now four different complete uppers are available for purchase. Luth-AR says that the new uppers blend the timeless look of vintage ARs with modern performance features, so they should shoot as good as they look.

The first of the modern retro complete 5.56 NATO uppers is the A1 Slick-Side. It features no forward assist or brass deflector, a Duckbill flash hider, an A1-style charging handle and triangle handguards that are available in either black or green. The other modern retro upper is the A1 C7, meaning that it has a forward assist, a brass deflector, an A2 flash hider and round A2-style handguards that are also offered in black and green.

Whichever model you choose, all feature a 20-inch pencil profile chrome-lined barrel with a 1:7 twist, a .625-inch non-F marked front sight base and a manganese phosphate exterior finish. Only the product page for the A1 C7 modern retro upper specifies that it comes with a complete BCG, but given the similar price to the A1 Slick-Side variants, it’s safe to assume that all versions will include a BCG.

Randy Luth of Luth-AR said this about the new retro upper receivers:

These uppers are built for shooters who want the old-school vibe without sacrificing the performance of a modern rifle … We stayed true to the A1 aesthetic but enhanced the core components to meet today’s reliability and accuracy standards.

The A1 C7 uppers have an MSRP of $580 and the A1 Slick-Side uppers have an MSRP of $630 or $640 depending on furniture color.
