MRK 1 Upper Assembly
The Towle AR MRK 1 Upper Assembly system is the soul of the rifle. The MRK 1 Upper was designed to be one of the most functional, durable and reliable upper assemblies on the market. Designed around the USGI standard, with enhancements developed to provide a more robust, reliable, and accurate rifle system. These enhancements include a match grade barrel, a gas piston system and a free floating picatinny rail. For the Receiver, the aluminum alloy 7075 was chosen because it is as hard as many steels while retaining the lightweight qualities of aluminum. It is then hard coat anodized (MIL-A-8625F Type III Class 2) for superior wear protection.
