The AR57 ULT Upper Assembly 12" Barrel 5.7x28 ULT12 is a high-performance, complete upper receiver assembly designed to convert standard AR-15 lower receivers into a 5.7x28mm platform. This innovative upper allows shooters to enjoy the high-velocity, low-recoil benefits of the 5.7x28mm cartridge in a familiar AR-15 platform. Featuring a 12-inch barrel and a unique top-mounted magazine system compatible with FN P90 magazines, the AR57 ULT12 offers exceptional performance for sport shooting, training, and tactical applications.
Why Choose the AR57 ULT Upper Assembly 5.7x28?
The AR57 ULT Upper Assembly stands out as one of the most innovative ways to bring 5.7x28mm capability to the AR platform. Instead of requiring a completely new firearm, this upper assembly lets you use your existing AR-15 lower receiver, trigger group, and stock. The 12-inch barrel provides an excellent balance between velocity, maneuverability, and overall length. The ULT (Upper with Linear Top) design feeds ammunition from FN P90-style magazines mounted on top of the receiver, resulting in a compact and well-balanced firearm. This configuration delivers the high speed and flat trajectory of the 5.7x28mm cartridge while maintaining the ergonomics and modularity that AR-15 users love.
