Brownells BRN16A1 20″ Complete 5.56 Rifle Upper Receiver
The BRN-16A1® Complete Upper Receivers are back!
Styled after the issued U.S. M16A1, the BRN-16A1® has distinct features, found on late 1960s M16 rifles.
The muzzle of the BRN16A1®, is capped by the classic A1 flash hider, with ports around its radius, and is retained by a proper split washer. The flash hider is attached to a lightweight 20 inch barrel, found on AR-15 variants through the M16A1.
Key features of the BRN-16A1®:
- M16A1 upper receiver without shell deflector
- 20″ 5.56x45mm NATO barrel with 1-12 or 1-7 twist & chrome bore & chamber
- M16A1 ejection port cover
- Tear drop forward assist
- A1 rear sight assembly
- A1 black polymer handguards with heatshields
- Manganese phosphate mil-spec bolt carrier group with 9310 bolt
- A1 flash hider
Available with a 1-12 or 1-7 twist. Select 1-12 if shooting 55gr bullets, and 1-7 if shooting 62gr or heavier. The front sight base is not F-marked, meaning the round, tapered front sight post is properly in line with the carry handle rear sight. The black triangle handguards closely emulate the original M16A1 handguards. A flat slip ring is at the end of the 5.56x45mm NATO barrel assembly.
Mounted to the upper is a proper ejection port cover, with a flat external “bump” (not just an off the shelf A2). The receiver is the proper M16A1 style, with a forward assist but no shell deflector. The rear sight is the standard A1 aperture, that can easily be adjusted with a cartridge or tool. Included bolt carrier group is the proper manganese phosphate mil-spec BCG, with chrome lined interior.

I got a cousin with a hard one for the look of the original but at that price pointt he’s gonna have to buy it himself. That too much to pay for a gift even with his 55 birthday comes up.
Having been issued a A1.
I found the flat tops with rail to be a great improvement.
Being old is not always better
