Free-Float Handguard Design

The AIR LITE Series honeycomb handguard isolates the barrel from external pressure, which improves consistency shot to shot. The 12-inch M-LOK design gives you mounting flexibility for optics, lights, and other accessories. The monolithic Picatinny top rail provides a solid mounting surface for your optic without needing separate rails.

Mid-Length Gas System Performance

Mid-length gas systems strike a balance between barrel length and cycling reliability. At 16.5 inches with a mid-length tube, this configuration reduces felt recoil compared to carbine-length systems while maintaining the faster handling characteristics of a shorter rifle. The .750-inch gas block and stainless steel tube are built to last through thousands of rounds.

Barrel and Caliber Clarity

The 4150 steel barrel with nitride finish resists corrosion and handles both .223 Remington and .223 Wylde ammunition. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes heavier projectiles, making this setup practical for both target shooting and hunting applications. The engraved barrel marking provides clear identification.

Complete Component Set Included

This full build kit includes the upper assembly, bolt carrier group, charging handle, complete lower parts kit, mil-spec carbine buffer tube, buffer, recoil spring, end plate, and castle nut. The Ranger collapsible stock comes installed on the buffer tube. You need only a stripped lower receiver to complete the build.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Lower receiver not included.
