The 360 Precision 16″ Complete Upper in Battleworn Cerakote is a fully assembled billet AR-15 upper receiver group with a 16-inch 416R stainless steel dimpled barrel, finished in a two-tone Battleworn Cerakote pattern applied in-house. The Battleworn finish is a controlled distressing technique where a base color is applied first, then a contrasting top color is layered and selectively removed to create a worn, broken-in appearance that looks like it has already seen real use.

This is the same upper found in the 360 Precision Recon Rifle, without the lower receiver, trigger, stock, and small parts. It ships complete with BCG, charging handle, handguard, gas system, and muzzle device. Drop it on any Mil-Spec AR-15 lower and you have a Recon-grade upper half.

Who should buy this upper?

• Builders who want the 16-inch Recon-grade barrel and billet receiver quality, paired with a custom Battleworn finish that stands out visually while performing identically to a standard Cerakote finish.
• Shooters who already own a lower receiver and want to build a full-length .223 Wylde / 5.56 NATO rifle with match-grade accuracy from a premium stainless barrel.
• Anyone looking for a visually distinctive AR-15 upper that looks like it has been in the field without sacrificing component quality or corrosion protection. If you want the matching lower half in Battleworn, our Battleworn builder set includes a matched upper, lower, and handguard.

What is the Battleworn finish?

Battleworn is a two-tone Cerakote technique, not just cosmetic distressing. The base coat and top coat are both full Cerakote applications, meaning the entire receiver and handguard have the same corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance as any single-color Cerakote finish. The “worn” areas simply reveal the contrasting base color underneath. It is purely aesthetic and does not affect the protective performance of the coating.

Available Battleworn combinations include FDE over black, Bronze over black, and other contrast pairings. Select your preferred combination at checkout.
