Barrel and Operating System

The 5-inch .45 ACP barrel is machined from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel in a slim profile with a Parkerized finish and a 1:16 twist. This build runs a direct blowback operating system rather than a gas-driven cycle. The muzzle carries an AR-15 .45 ACP birdcage muzzle brake finished in Manganese Phosphate on 37/64x28 threads, secured with the included 5/8-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 tubular M-LOK handguard machined from aluminum, finished in black, with a 1.77-inch internal diameter and a suppressor-ready design.

Bolt Assembly and Charging Handle

The kit includes a blowback-compatible PCC AR bolt assembly built for .45 ACP, along with a mil-spec quality AR-15 M4 charging handle.

Lower Parts Kit and Buffer System

The kit includes a complete mil-spec AR-15 Lower Parts Kit with an A2-style pistol grip and full fire control group, along with the carbine castle nut and mil-spec receiver end plate. The buffer system pairs an AR-15 9mm carbine buffer with a USA-made standard AR-15 carbine recoil spring, cycling inside a heavy-duty mil-spec AR-15 six-position carbine buffer tube.

Brace

The Magpul BTR is an adjustable pistol stabilizing brace built from reinforced polymer in black, with a lightweight, skeletonized profile and an integrated rear sling loop. It mounts to the standard mil-spec carbine receiver extension included in this kit.
