Barrel and Gas System

The 18-inch government profile barrel is 4150 CrMoV steel with a nitride finish and a 1:7.5 twist rate optimized for the 6mm ARC caliber. The muzzle is threaded at 5-in-8x24 and pairs with the included GI birdcage flash hider. The rifle-length gas system uses a .750 O.D. steel micro low-profile gas block positioned beneath the handguard, keeping the forend profile clean and unobstructed across the full handguard length.

Upper Receiver and Handguard

The upper receiver is 7075-T6 aluminum with M4 feed ramps and an anodized finish. M4 feed ramps support reliable cartridge feeding from the magazine into the chamber. The 15-inch freefloat KeyMod handguard is 6061-T6 aluminum in black, providing a clean forend with KeyMod accessory slots for bipods, lights, grips, and other attachments. The handguard extends beyond the 18-inch barrel length, with the muzzle device providing the necessary clearance past the handguard.

Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle

The included bolt carrier group is a complete 6.5 Grendel II pattern unit built from 9310 alloy steel with a QPQ nitride finish. The 6mm ARC cartridge headspaces on the 6.5 Grendel II bolt pattern, making this the correct bolt carrier group for this configuration. The mil-spec M4 charging handle completes the upper component set.
