Barrel and Gas System

The 18-inch government profile barrel is 41V50 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. 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 an anodized finish. The 15-inch freefloat handguard is 6061-T6 aluminum in black, featuring both KeyMod attachment slots and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail sections for optics, 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. The 6mm ARC configuration requires a 6.5 Grendel II pattern bolt carrier group, which is not included with this upper build kit.
