I am looking for a upper reciever and the best I found as far as pricing is a LAR Grizzly M4 Flat top with FA and door included for 89.00 shipped. If you have used one of these was it a good reciever? I really cannot imagine any problems but thought I would ask and see..Thanks

LAR is a respected and LONG TIME AR/M16 parts manufacturer and government contract supplier.
You hardly ever hear of them on the internet because the majority of their business is providing parts to the companies that you do hear about.

Last I knew, LAR was selling "keyhole"/Cerro forgings.



TL;DR LAR is GTG.





Headquartered in West Jordan Utah, LAR Manufacturing has been producing precision engineered firearms and firearms components for over 40 years.  Founded in 1968, LAR began manufacturing of M16 upper receivers for the Rock Island U.S. Armament Command; LAR won other government contracts such as the M3 Tripod Mounts for the M2 machine gun as well as the M85 Barrel extension subassembly, and the M240 machine gun.  Due to our machining capabilities, LAR launched the Grizzly Mark 1 handgun, “The Browning 1911 on steroids” as it was coined for so many years.  Due to our expertise in precision machining and firearms, LAR created the GRIZZLY BIG BOAR .50BMG rifle over 20 years ago. LAR has since launched a new .50BMG Tactical Rifle.

LAR never stopped building firearms components for the M16 and AR15 platforms.  LAR has acted and continues to be a contract manufacturing facility for some of the world’s largest AR15 brand names in the industry.  LAR has continued its Research and Development and developed a precision machined side charged upper assembly that makes the AR15 platform more functional, durable, accurate for right and left charged models as well as ambidextrous models.

LAR Manufacturing continues to innovate and expand. Skilled employees work in a multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art manufacturing complex covering over 35,000 square feet. Research and development is mission critical and exciting new products are on the drawing board. Indeed, the future is bright at LAR Manufacturing.

The Quality Control Program at LAR Manufacturing meets or exceeds requirements per MIL-Q-9858A. It is common practice for us to maintain precision and quality machined tolerances. The talents of highly skilled, motivated and dedicated individuals are applied to insure that the end users of our products receive the best in quality and durability.

All my lowers are LAR and some of my uppers are as well. The machining, fit, and finish is outstanding. They are my favorite and I like to support local business if I can.

Thanks everybody. Yes it is Keyhole marked. Good thing I asked as I ordered it for the sale price of 89.00 shipped and must have got the last one they had..Got nervous as after I ordered I went back and looked and it said out of stock with no ETA on new ones. So I called em to see what was up and they said I am getting one in a couple days. They ran out today..
