Barrel and Operating System

The 5-inch BC-9 barrel is built in a slim profile with a Parkerized finish and a 1:10 twist suited to 9mm. This build runs a direct blowback operating system rather than a gas-driven cycle. The muzzle carries the KAK Industry 9mm Mini Compensator on 1/2x36 threads, secured with the included 1/2-inch black crush washer.

Upper Receiver and Handguard

The upper receiver is a billet aluminum unit built for the pistol-caliber AR-15 platform, finished in black with an integrated Picatinny top rail. It's paired with a 4.2-inch free-float tubular M-LOK handguard machined from aluminum, finished in black, with a 1.77-inch internal diameter and a suppressor-ready design.

Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle

The included bolt carrier group is machined from 8620 alloy steel with a Nitride finish and an external extractor, built for compatibility with Glock and Colt pattern magazines. A mil-spec quality AR-15 M4 charging handle is included alongside it.
