Barrel and Muzzle Device

The 4.5-inch medium profile barrel is chambered in 9mm and constructed from 4150 CrMoV steel with a nitride finish. The twist rate is 1:10 and the thread pitch is 1/2x36, which matches the included 9mm A2 birdcage flash hider. A black 1/2-inch crush washer is included. The direct blowback platform design addresses the 9mm cartridge in an AR-9 pistol caliber build without a gas system.

Upper Receiver and Handguard

The 6061 billet pistol caliber AR-15 upper receiver carries a black finish and is designed around the AR-9 pistol caliber platform. The 4-inch Guntec USA Honeycomb freefloat M-LOK handguard carries an anodized red finish with a full-length Picatinny rail and M-LOK attachment points along the body for accessory mounting. These two components define the exterior structure of the upper assembly on this AR-9 pistol platform.

Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle

The complete 9mm nitride bolt carrier group is 8620 alloy steel with a nitride finish and features an external extractor compatible with both Glock and Colt pattern magazines. A Mil-Spec AR-15 M4 charging handle is included to complete the upper component set.
