Luth-AR Unveils Two New Retro AR Uppers

Buffalo, MN – 4-10-2025– Luth-AR, leader in innovative firearms and AR platform solutions, announces the release of two exciting additions to its lineup: the A1 Slick Side Modern Retro Upper and the A1 C7 Modern Retro Upper. These new complete uppers bring a fresh take to classic A1 aesthetics by blending the timeless design of the Vietnam-era A1 receivers with cutting-edge modern performance features.

Designed for shooters who appreciate the iconic look and feel of vintage AR-15s but demand modern reliability and accuracy, both uppers come equipped with a 20-inch chrome-lined barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 1:7 twist rate—ideal for stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights while ensuring enhanced durability and longevity. Whether you're a historical firearms enthusiast, a high-volume shooter, or a collector, these uppers deliver on both form and function.

Key Features Include:

• Authentic A1-style forged upper receivers – available in Slick Side (no forward assist) or C7 configuration (with forward assist and brass deflector)
• 20" Pencil Profile chrome-lined barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO
• 1:7 twist rate for superior accuracy across modern ammunition loads
• A1 Slick Side Modern Retro features classic triangle handguards and Duckbill Flash Hider, to complete the retro look
• A1 C7 Modern Retro features classic A2 handguards and an A2 cage style Flash Hider.

"These uppers are built for shooters who want the old-school vibe without sacrificing the performance of a modern rifle," said Randy Luth. "We stayed true to the A1 aesthetic but enhanced the core components to meet today’s reliability and accuracy standards." The A1 Slick Side and A1 C7 Modern Retro Uppers are available now through www.Luth-AR.com
