What it is
The Faxon Duty Series 10.5" SOCOM 5.56 Barreled Upper is a compact, battle-ready upper assembly designed for AR-15 pistols, braced builds, and short-barreled rifles in tactical, duty, and defensive roles. The heavy SOCOM profile places mass forward to manage heat, reduce mirage, and keep groups tight during rapid or sustained fire — perfect when barrel length is short and the rate of fire is high.
Core component is Faxon’s in-house button-rifled Duty Series 4150 CrMoV barrel (1:8 twist, stress-relieved, MPI-inspected, black nitride finish) paired with a carbine-length gas system for reliable short-barrel function. It includes a standard A2 Bird Cage Flash Hider (1/2×28) for effective flash suppression and broad accessory compatibility, plus Faxon’s premium Streamline 9" M-LOK handguard, fixed low-profile gas block, and stainless carbine-length gas tube.
Durable, accurate, and built to endure — the barreled upper solution for operators who need compact power without compromise.
Who it’s for / not for
- Best for: AR pistols, SBR/PDW builds, close-quarters tactical, vehicle defense, high-volume training in confined spaces.
- Good match: Mil-spec AR-15 lowers, red-dot/holographic optics, braced pistols or registered SBR platforms.
- Not ideal for: Long-range precision (consider 16"+ barrels), ultralight competition builds, or mid-length gas preference.

FAQs
Will this upper work on any standard AR-15 lower?▾
Yes — completely compatible with any mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver.
Is this upper suppressor ready?▾
The 1/2×28 threaded A2 flash hider allows attachment of direct-thread suppressors. For quick-detach suppressor systems, you may want to upgrade to a compatible muzzle device (see Faxon’s MuzzLok® or other QD options).
Where is this upper manufactured?▾
100% made in the USA — barrel, machining, and final assembly all performed by Faxon Firearms in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
What does the SOCOM profile do for a 10.5" barrel?▾
The heavier contour dramatically improves heat management and reduces mirage compared to lightweight profiles, helping maintain accuracy and point of impact during rapid or prolonged fire — especially valuable on short barrels that run hot quickly.
Does this include BCG and charging handle?▾
No — this is a complete barreled upper only. You will need to add a bolt carrier group and charging handle (see related shopping links above).
