The Faxon Firearms Ascent 22 ARC complete upper receiver brings a modern, high-velocity cartridge to the AR-15 platform without requiring a new lower receiver. Chambered in 22 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge), this 16-inch Gunner barrel upper is built to take advantage of high-ballistic-coefficient bullets while maintaining the familiar ergonomics and modularity shooters expect from AR-platform rifles. Whether you're setting up a dedicated long-range trainer, a precision varmint rig, or exploring the potential of this emerging cartridge, the Ascent upper delivers factory-engineered reliability in a compact, practical package.
Faxon Firearms engineered the 22 ARC cartridge and chamber together to deliver consistent accuracy and tight velocity spreads—critical traits for shooters who demand repeatable performance. The Ascent platform packages that design intent into a complete, ready-to-run upper that integrates a rifle-length gas system tuned for the cartridge. You get everything needed to build or upgrade: the forged upper receiver, bolt carrier group, handguard, and muzzle device are all included and matched for out-of-the-box function.
The 15-inch aluminum handguard provides ample real estate for accessories while keeping the overall profile lean. The nitrided bolt carrier group is built for longevity and smooth cycling, and Faxon backs the entire Ascent line with a lifetime guarantee. Black anodize finish resists corrosion and pairs cleanly with modern rail systems and glass. Drop this upper onto any AR-15 lower receiver and you're ready to run.
