The Brownells 733 C7 Upper Receiver, a classic reborn!
Featuring an 11.5" lightweight "A1" profile barrel, 1-7 twist, C7 upper with shell defector and a CAR handguards, the Commando is a unique entry into the AR-15 series. It is a mix of old school and new school, a transition from the M16A1 to the M4 platform of today.
The 733 C7 includes enough modern features to make it a viable "go to" setup, especially for those seeking a carry handle receiver. The A1 rear sight nestled in the C7 upper receiver, is known for being extremely robust and dependable. The C7 upper, originally only found on Canadian AR-15 models, is a blend of the M16A1 and M16A2, being essentially an M16A1 receiver with the "Burton bump" shell deflector found on the M16A2 receiver. This lefty friendly feature is now commonplace on modern forged uppers.
The barrel is 11.5 inches in length, with a 5.56x45mm chamber and 1-7 twist, making it a unique carry handle configuration with the tighter twist. The barrel features a chrome bore and chamber with a phosphate exterior finish. This light barrel makes the short upper extemely handy. The barrel is capped with an A1 flash hider. The included bolt carrier group is a standard mil-spec version, with a phosphate exterior and chrome interior carrier and gas key.

We actually tracked down the original company that manufactured the Colt® AR-15 optics of the 1970s and asked them to build a new one for us as close to the original as possible - right down the yellow inspection stickers. The Retro 4x Optic has updated technology under the hood, with modern lenses and construction. The result is a scope that looks just like the original but has optical clarity and performance that are head and shoulders above it.
• Attaches to any standard AR-15/M16 carry handle
• Fully Multicoated lenses are fog and waterproof
• BDC click-adjustable elevation turret
• Manufactured in Japan with high quality internals and lenses
• The Retro 4x Carry Handle Optic sports a simple, intuitive fine duplex reticle, like the original, and an elevation turret with BDC (ballistic drop compensated) clicks that closely match modern .223/5.56 55gr and 62gr ammo. As its name indicates, the Retro 4x comes with an integral carry handle mount that easily attaches to most AR-15 carry handles - no tools required.
As with all products we sell, this scope is fully backed by our Forever Guarantee.
