4150 CMV Barrel with M4 Contour
The 16-inch barrel is forged from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, a material trusted for its strength and durability under high round counts. The M4 contour provides a balanced weight distribution that enhances handling characteristics while maintaining barrel rigidity for consistent accuracy. The 1:8 twist rate is optimized for stabilizing bullet weights ranging from 55 to 77 grains, making this barrel equally capable with lightweight range ammunition and heavier match projectiles. The .223 Wylde chamber safely fires both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO loads while maintaining match-grade accuracy potential, giving you maximum flexibility in ammunition selection.
Freefloat M-Lok Handguard for Accuracy
The freefloat M-Lok handguard isolates the barrel from external contact, maximizing accuracy potential by eliminating point-of-impact shifts caused by sling tension, support hand pressure, or mounted accessories. M-Lok slots run the length of the handguard for direct accessory mounting without bulky rail sections, keeping your rifle streamlined and weight-forward balance optimized. This design allows you to position lights, grips, bipods, and other gear exactly where you need them while maintaining the freefloat barrel's precision characteristics. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions without compromising structural integrity.
Complete Upper Assembly
The 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver delivers superior strength and durability compared to standard 6061 aluminum, making it ideal for applications where dimensional stability matters. The anodized finish protects against wear and corrosion during extended use and harsh conditions. The carbine-length gas system with micro low-profile gas block ensures consistent gas delivery for reliable cycling while maintaining a clean, snag-free profile under the handguard. The mil-spec charging handle provides smooth operation for quick manipulation during shooting sequences.
SOPMOD Stock and Complete Internals
The SOPMOD-style collapsible stock features integrated storage compartments in both cheek pieces, providing convenient space for batteries, tools, cleaning supplies, or other small essentials. The 6-position adjustability allows you to dial in your length of pull for optimal eye relief and shooting comfort across different shooting positions and clothing layers. Mounted on a mil-spec heavy-duty 6-position buffer tube, this stock system provides a stable platform for recoil management and buffer system reliability. The complete bolt carrier group is constructed from 9310 alloy steel with a nitride finish for exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability.
