Description
The DS-15 Typhoon Complete Upper 16″ is hand-assembled and individually tested by Dark Storm Industries in Rockledge, Florida. Built on an aerospace-grade billet upper receiver, this complete upper combines premium materials, precision machining, and proven components to deliver exceptional reliability and accuracy.
A 16″ SOCOM-profile barrel manufactured from 4150 CMV steel and treated with a black nitride heat process provides long service life and corrosion resistance. Buyers may choose between carbine-length or mid-length gas systems depending on twist configuration, allowing tuning for recoil impulse and ammunition preference.
The DS-15 Typhoon Complete Upper features a color-matched 13″ Typhoon handguard, patented Firestorm compensator for muzzle control, and a DSI Mil+ bolt carrier group. Partial ambidextrous controls—including an ambi charging handle and billet 90° safety selector—enhance ergonomics without sacrificing durability.
Available in multiple Cerakote and anodized finishes and backed by a fully transferable lifetime warranty, the DS-15 Typhoon upper represents Dark Storm Industries’ flagship performance upper for AR-15 platforms.
