Barrel and Muzzle Device

The 10.5-inch M4 contour barrel is chambered in 5.56 NATO and constructed from stainless steel. The twist rate is 1:7 and the thread pitch is 1/2x28, which matches the included USA-made Crown muzzle brake in nitride finish. A micro low-profile steel gas block at 0.750 diameter and a carbine-length stainless steel gas tube cover the front end gas configuration on this carbine-length platform.

Upper Receiver and ACE-20 Handguard

The upper receiver is 7075-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish, M4 feed ramps, an ejection port cover, and a forward assist assembly. The 10-inch ACE-20 Series freefloat M-LOK handguard is black and provides M-LOK attachment points along the rail body for accessory mounting. These two components define the exterior structure of the upper assembly on this AR-15 platform.

Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle

The complete AR-15 bolt carrier group is compatible with 5.56 NATO, .223 Remington, .300 Blackout, and .350 Legend, and is made in the USA. 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 pistol buffer tube, a standard 3 oz carbine buffer, a standard AR-15 carbine recoil spring, an AR-15 M16 Mil-Spec receiver end plate, and a standard AR-15 carbine castle nut. The Gauntlet Arms polymer stabilizing brace in black rounds out the kit, providing a rear interface for the pistol platform.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Lower receiver not included. Verify local and state laws regarding pistol brace use and classification.
