Features

The LWRCI IC-DI upper receiver is a premium foundation for a custom AR build, engineered around a refined direct impingement operating system for reliable and consistent performance. It features a proprietary keyless bolt carrier design paired with an LWRCI bolt carrier group, enhancing durability and simplifying maintenance. The 16.1-inch barrel is cold hammer forged with button-cut rifling and distinctive spiral fluting, reducing weight while increasing surface area for improved heat dissipation during extended firing. Threaded 1/2x28 at the muzzle, it is ready to accept a wide range of muzzle devices and suppressors.

A free-float M-LOK handguard provides a lightweight, rigid platform for accessory mounting, while ambidextrous features—including the charging handle and sling mount—support versatile operation. The upper is equipped with an A2 birdcage flash hider and includes an H2 buffer with a carbine-length action spring to optimize cycling and recoil impulse. Built with LWRCI’s attention to precision and performance, this IC-DI upper delivers a durable, lightweight, and highly adaptable solution for modern AR platform builds.
