Nitrided 4140 Gun Steel Barrel
The 8.3-inch nitrided barrel made from durable 4140 gun steel with medium profile delivers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance for long-term performance. The nitride treatment penetrates the steel, providing superior wear resistance while maintaining dimensional accuracy and precision. The medium profile balances weight and rigidity for consistent performance in a compact configuration. With a 1:10 twist rate, this barrel provides improved accuracy with various 9mm ammunition types, stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights commonly used in pistol-caliber carbine applications. The barrel is threaded at 1/2x36 and includes a 9mm flash hider A2 birdcage muzzle device for effective muzzle control.
M4 Feed Ramps for Reliable Feeding
The upper receiver crafted from 7075-T6 aluminum offers lightweight strength and long-term durability with anodized finish for corrosion resistance. The inclusion of M4 feed ramps ensures reliable feeding with various 9mm ammunition types and bullet profiles, improving smooth feeding from magazine to chamber. This enhancement is particularly valuable for 9mm AR-15 builds where consistent feeding is critical to reliable function. The forged aluminum construction provides exceptional dimensional stability, while the anodized finish protects against environmental stress and wear for dependable performance in compact configurations.
M-Lok Freefloat Handguard for Better Harmonics
The M-Lok handguard constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black provides compatibility for accessory attachment while ensuring a freefloat design for better barrel harmonics. The freefloat design eliminates handguard contact with the barrel, allowing the barrel to vibrate freely for improved accuracy and consistency. This design also provides better thermal management during extended shooting sessions. The M-Lok interface offers secure, modular mounting for lights, lasers, grips, and other attachments exactly where you need them. The 6061-T6 aluminum construction keeps the overall build lightweight while maintaining structural integrity.
