Freefloat M-Lok Handguard Design

The aircraft-grade aluminum handguard uses a freefloat design, meaning it does not contact the barrel. This separation allows the barrel to vibrate naturally without external pressure affecting accuracy. The M-Lok slots provide standardized mounting points for accessories like lights, grips, and rail sections. The black finish matches the upper receiver for a cohesive appearance.

14.5-Inch Carbine-Gas Platform

This configuration pairs a 14.5-inch barrel with a carbine-length gas system, a proven combination for balanced handling and reliability. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of 5.56 projectiles, from lighter 55-grain rounds to heavier 77-grain loads. The 4150 CrMoV steel with phosphate finish provides durability and corrosion resistance.

SBA3 Brace Stability and Adjustability

The SB Tactical SBA3 is an adjustable stabilizing brace that extends and locks in place for improved control. The design allows the brace to strap around your arm or rest against your shoulder, providing a more stable shooting platform than a bare pistol grip. The brace is fully adjustable in length to accommodate different shooting styles and body types.

Premium Bolt Carrier and Gas Block

The 9310 alloy steel bolt carrier group features a nitride finish for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The micro low-profile gas block is sized for a 0.750 outside diameter barrel, keeping the profile low while maintaining reliable cycling. Together, these components ensure consistent operation across a range of ammunition types.

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