VKTR Industries VK1 16" Piston 5.56 NATO M-LOK CHF AR-15 Rifle w/ SOLGW NOX - Black - V-3110-0916-604

Piston driven ARs are favorites among many shooters due to the advantages that they offer over direct impingement systems, but one problem with piston guns is the added weight that comes with a piston system. To try to solve that issue, the engineers at VKTR Industries created a the VK-1 piston system which offers all the piston benefits but with the same footprint and weight of a standard direct impingement system. The VK1PW rifle utilizes this system, with optimum gas port sizing, an improved gas seal, and a staged gas bleed system that reduces the operating rod’s inertia. This system results in a lightweight rifle which is flatter shooting and cleaner running than DI guns and other piston driver ARs. The VK1PW also features fully ambidextrous controls, including a billet machined and heat-treated ambidextrous mag release and bolt catch. A low profile handguard with M-LOK slots allows the end user to attach a wide variety of M-LOK compatible accessories such as lights and foregrips to setup the VK1 to fit their exact needs. This model also includes a Sons of Liberty Gun Works NOX muzzle device pinned and welded to the barrel. The VK1PW has a barrel length of 13.7″, but the permanently affixed muzzle device brings the overall barrel length to just over 16″. With its patented operating system and a whole host of premium add-ons, the VK1PW rifle from VKTR Industries is the culmination of piston-driven AR-15 design.
