Barrel and Muzzle Device

The 5-inch slim profile barrel is chambered in .45 ACP and constructed from 4150 CrMoV steel with a parkerized finish. The twist rate is 1:16 and the thread pitch is .578x28, which matches the included KAK Micro Flash Can. A black 5/8-inch crush washer is included. The direct blowback platform design addresses the .45 ACP cartridge in a pistol caliber build without a gas system.

Upper Receiver and Handguard

The Vertex Enhanced billet AR-15 pistol caliber upper receiver carries a black finish and is designed around the pistol caliber platform. The 4-inch slim-line freefloat M-LOK handguard is black with a full-length top Picatinny rail and M-LOK attachment points along the body for accessory mounting. These two components define the exterior structure of the upper assembly on this .45 ACP pistol platform.

Bolt Assembly and Charging Handle

The PCC AR bolt assembly is chambered for .45 ACP and covers the bolt carrier group position for this pistol caliber platform. A Mil-Spec AR-15 M4 charging handle is included to complete the upper component set.

Lower Parts Kit and Buffer System

The complete Mil-Spec AR-15 lower parts kit covers the internal lower receiver components. The buffer system includes a heavy-duty aluminum pistol buffer tube compatible with AR-15 and AR style pistols, an 8 oz PCC buffer in black, a standard AR-15 carbine recoil spring, a Mil-Spec AR-15 M16 receiver end plate, and an AR-15 carbine castle nut. The Gauntlet Arms polymer stabilizing brace in black pairs with the included pistol buffer tube and covers the rear brace interface for this pistol lower build kit.
