Barrel and Muzzle Device

The twist rate is 1:7 and the thread pitch is 1/2x28, which matches the included A2 birdcage flash hider. A black crush washer, a micro low-profile steel gas block at 0.750 diameter, and a carbine-length stainless steel gas tube cover the front end gas configuration on this carbine-length platform.

Upper Receiver and Handguard

The 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver carries an anodized finish with M4 feed ramps, an ejection port cover, and a forward assist. The 15-inch freefloat M-LOK handguard is black with a full-length Picatinny top 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-15 platform.

The USA-made complete M16-style bolt carrier group is compatible with .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, .300 AAC Blackout, and .350 Legend. A Mil-Spec M4 charging handle is included to complete the upper component set.
