I did receive an email asking to review the product and in return I would get a free t-shirt. I did give a very honest review but I never received my shirt. I do like the upper but I am upset about not receiving the shirt I was promised 4 MONTHS ago now.

After initially posting this comment APOC has now shipped my T-shirts and I am expecting them later this week. They have corrected their mistake and I am very happy with that and I still like my upper.

I ordered this upper back on the 7th and just got it today (which was usps fault). . The quality is ok. The only disappointment I have with it is the rail looks either cheaply made or there was an attempt to repair it. It looks like it was marked up then painted over. It's ok because it is a budget upper but next time I may go with PSA instead as they seem to be consistent. I wish I could post pics on here so I could show all that may be interested.

I ordered today(1/29/16) as soon as I got an email that they were mark down to $269. I received a shipping notification less than an hour later! If the upper is as good as their shipping, I'll be happy :)

Hey Ace, just wanted to touch base again because we haven't heard back. I think I located your order which was actually for a Rebel, not the Patriot. Regardless, we don't want you to have to settle for a damaged rail so I will contact you via email to see how we can fix this for you.

Hello Ace, APOC here. We stand behind the consistency of our product which is why we have the guarantee. So if your upper has a damaged rail then we'd like to replace it. We haven't received any complaints on Patriots in quite some time so I assume you haven't yet notified our staff of the issue. Please email info at apocarmory dot com and we'll get the replacement sent out ASAP. Thanks for your business!

Not trying to be misleading, which is why the title says Keymod Upper Assembly instead of Complete Upper. We've sold a ton of these from this listing and none of our customers have been confused about what they're buying.

so the "complete upper" advertised for 299.99 doesn't come with a BCG or a charging handle.... how exactly is that considered complete?

Thank you. Do you ever do mid length gas systems on these with the 15"?

As of right now we only do mid-length on our Paladin and Black Knight uppers but those are 18" barrels. We have been thinking about doing a new configuration, similar to the patriot but with a mid-length gas system. If you want, email info at apocarmory dot com and tell us about the upper of your dreams. Maybe we'll end up building it :)

I'm pretty sure my dream upper is your Patriot upper with a mid length gas system, 15" guard and a micro gas block. I will send you an email. Thank you

Nothing is different. It actually shouldn't have had that badge. It's been removed now. Thanks! - APOC Armory

States complete upper and shows it in the pic but the site states $299.95 without bcg or charging handle, and adds $100 if you select both items. Is the post wrong or the price on the site?

Thanks for the post. To clarify, the 11,000 round review mentioned in the description is not about the exact barrel but about the benefits of a nitride/melonite treatment for barrels in general. The review is here: http://forum.accurateshooter.com/index.php?topic=3795644.0...

Finally got this to the range. This complete upper made my first owned AR-15. I don't know much about weapons in general, but I shot all 100 rounds with no jamming what so ever. The BCG looks nice with the APOC emblem and the finish looks and feels smooth.

I have purchased several of these Apoc Armory uppers, and they are a quality upper. I doubt that I could find a better upper at this amazing price anywhere. It was a pleasure doing business with Apoc Armory. What they advertise and do is fantastic, and I will be telling all my friend about the great products and service they offer. I have run several hundred rounds through my first build and not a single problem. I purchased my first upper online when my Son told me about this Company, then about a week later I was talking to a Northern California gun dealer who said that he was putting together an order for Apoc Armory....I couldn't pass up the offer and purchased two more uppers along with my Son who was just drooling to pick up one of these fine uppers also. Since my first purchase I have added a killer camo job to my first build and it looks awesome.

I purchased my Patriot upper from APOC Armory several months ago. I used it to complete a builb I was working on, my first build! For being a newb I found the quality and assembly to be impressive. The finish is tough and looks great. I like that this upper comes with the black nitride BCG, which is a step up from a lot of the others I looked it. No complaints about this product thus far. Great buy!

Hi DanGunMan, I can see why you might think that but we sent an email out to our customers who had purchased the Patriot and asked if they would leave their thoughts on this product listing in the comments. So I'm confident that they are all owners. Im sure an admin could also check to make sure they're not all generated from the same IP address or region. We're not trying to game the system, we just have some very cool customers who like our stuff.

Actually I have purchased many of these in the past, and left a true feedback rating. I did not purchase the Patriot from this ad but direct from the company. They have a 100% no questions asked warranty and great service.

The comments by kurtblomdahl, Larryziel, BuddyThreepercenter, and AR15builder2014 were all made about 1 hour apart each and all four accounts were created 8-10 hours ago, I think three of them were all created at the exact same time. Seems an awful lot like the dealer is making posts under fake usernames... I could be wrong, but it looks pretty suspect.

I don't like making accusations, but I will say this...look at the view score under all of the positive posts. They are up voting their own posts. Looks like a poor attempt at shilling.

I am extremely impressed with the entire Apoc Armory crew and product lineup. The Patriot is no exception, only high quality. I talked to Travis on the phone a few times. Each time he was very helpful, patient and kind. Upon ordering, I received my upper in a timely manner. Out of the box it felt of high quality and solid design and build. It fit nicely into my Anderson Lower. So far I have put about 200 rounds of brass through the upper, no problems. The Keymod rail system that I have, 12 inches, feels very comfortable in my hand. Its small and soft enough that I can fit my hands around it comfortably, yet rugged enough to yield a good grip. Very impressed with Apoc Armory. Will definitely buy from them again.

I got the 16" patriot 1:8 upper from apoc armory. It's a very well built, precision upper. Entry to novice level straight out of the box. I have had it for about 6 months now and I haven't had a single failure with this upper. Very nice clean finish, looks and feels amazing. Would and have recommended this to anyone looking for a good quality complete upper. Thanks again apoc!
