Maximize maneuverability without sacrificing terminal ballistics with the PRO2A 13.7" 5.56 NATO Mid Length Melonite M-LOK Upper Receiver. Engineered for fast-handling tactical builds, this 100% American-made upper receiver pairs a premium, hardened 4150 CMV barrel with a rugged mil-spec forged 7075-T6 receiver. Chambered in the reliable 5.56 NATO caliber, it provides excellent versatility for a wide array of grain weights. The 13.7-inch length serves as an exceptional foundation for pin-and-weld projects to reach a non-NFA 16-inch configuration. Completed with a soft-shooting mid-length gas system and a slim free-float M-LOK handguard, it is the ultimate upgrade for your next defensive or tactical rifle setup.

The PRO2A 13.7" 5.56 NATO Mid Length Melonite Upper Receiver directly answers the call for a high-performance, compact upgrade that sidesteps the legal hurdles of a two-stamp short-barreled rifle setup. Shortening your barrel below 16 inches usually requires an NFA tax stamp, but a 13.7-inch configuration paired with an appropriate extended muzzle device bridges this gap perfectly when permanently pinned and welded. This gives you the swift, agile clearing capabilities of a short platform while maintaining standard carbine configuration lawfulness.
Furthermore, navigating standard short-barrel limitations usually means dealing with erratic, harsh cycling. Pro2A Tactical addresses this by marrying the 13.7-inch barrel path to a true mid-length gas network. This arrangement balances internal carrier velocities, generating an incredibly soft impulse that lets you track impacts through your optic continuously without losing your frame. Backed completely by Pro2A Tactical's signature Lifetime Factory Warranty and engineered with 100% American craftsmanship, this upper receiver optimizes your AR-15 build into a rugged, high-performance tactical asset.
