Billet 308 Upper
Perfect fit for my lower, very well machined. The only negative is that the anodizing is a very rough texture. Perfectly serviceable but not a cosmetic match for my Noreen billet power’s finish
308 Billet Upper
Received my upper through a prompt shipment. Was well packaged. Fits a DPMS Gen 1 lower with no gaps or interference. Anodizing was perfect. I look forward to another upper when my current build is done.

Fits like a glove.

Very well built and light weight
Billet 308 Upper Receiver
Another great Noreen product. This fits the Noreen lower perfectly, as it should and. I'm never disappointed with a Noreen purchase!
Stripper Upper
Great product reasonably priced would buy again.
AR-10 Billet Upper & Lower Receivers
The fit & finish is great as always. The Noreen uppers eliminated the Bolt Catch clearance issues when using Gen 1 LPK and Guntec upper. Self admittingly a bit OCD, the only issue I have is the rear hole machined for Dust Cover, while the front post tab was shaved to eliminate the Dust Cover. Great upper, great quality, sweet lines that make metallic colors of KG Gun Kote aesthetically enhanced, especially if a little prismatic pearl is thrown in.
