Key Features
- Slick Side Billet Upper Receiver: Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum for superior strength-to-weight ratio; the slick side design eliminates the forward assist, reducing snags, weight, and dirt accumulation for smoother operation in the field.
- 10.5″ Nitride-Treated Barrel: Chambered in versatile .223 Wylde, this Melonite-finished barrel with a 1:7 twist rate stabilizes heavier bullets for enhanced accuracy at short ranges, while the nitride coating boosts corrosion resistance and extends barrel life by up to 50% over traditional finishes.
- Pistol-Length Gas System: Optimized for short-barrel reliability, it minimizes recoil and gas blowback, allowing faster follow-up shots and reducing wear on internal components during extended use.
- Free-Float M-LOK Handguard: Provides ample space for mounting lights, lasers, grips, and other accessories, promoting customization while improving heat dissipation and barrel harmonics for consistent shot placement.
- Complete Assembly Ready: Includes a premium bolt carrier group (BCG) and charging handle, so you can drop it onto your mil-spec lower and get shooting immediately.
