Quality Materials, Precision Manufacturing
The CMT Tactical UPUR-3 is a high-quality slickside billet AR-15 upper. The CMT starts with the superior strength and rigidity of 7075 T6 aluminum billet and a superior design for a slick side upper. They modify the design to make these work as a .458 SOCOM upper receiver and do the machining on cutting edge 5-axis CNC machining centers to produce what is quite possibly the most accurate SOCOM compatible AR upper on the market. 5-Axis machining puts an end to the errors and inconsistencies caused when parts are loaded multiple times for different operations by allowing one machine to complete a part in a single session. CMT Tactical’s slickside upper is ahead of its time, so you can give yourself an edge.
