Perfect For

• Shooters building a compact, home-defense oriented pistol platform
• Builders seeking a complete upper and lower parts solution in one kit
• Those prioritizing barrel quality and free-float accuracy in a short-barreled configuration
• Pistol shooters who want mil-spec reliability without assembling individual components

Compact Platform Design

This 10.5-inch configuration balances maneuverability with controllable recoil. The shorter barrel length makes this pistol ideal for confined spaces and vehicle use, while the 1:7 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of 5.56 ammunition from lighter 55-grain loads to heavier 77-grain rounds. The polished stainless steel barrel resists corrosion and pairs well with the free-float handguard to maintain consistent point of impact across different shooting conditions.

Free-Float Handguard and Accessory Compatibility

The extended quad rail handguard floats freely around the barrel, eliminating contact that can shift zero between shots. Quad rail geometry provides multiple mounting positions for lights, lasers, vertical grips, and other tactical accessories. The extended length gives you plenty of real estate for your preferred setup without adding excessive weight to the front of the rifle.

Gauntlet Arms Brace and Handling

The Gauntlet Arms polymer brace provides a stable platform for one-handed or two-handed control. The brace design allows for wrist support and improves overall handling compared to buffer tube-only configurations. The brace is adjustable and designed to work with standard AR-15 lower receivers.

Complete Lower Parts Kit and Buffer System

This kit includes a mil-spec lower parts kit with all trigger, hammer, disconnector, selector, and catch components needed to complete a stripped lower receiver. The buffer system consists of a 3 oz buffer, CAR buffer spring, and aluminum buffer tube. These components work together to cycle the action reliably across standard 5.56 NATO ammunition.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Lower receiver not included. Verify local regulations regarding pistol braces before assembly and use.
