Compact Pistol Platform Design

This kit brings together a purpose-built pistol configuration with practical components for reliable performance. The 7.5-inch barrel paired with pistol-length gas system keeps the overall profile compact while maintaining standard 5.56 NATO reliability. The lightweight aluminum handguard reduces felt recoil and keeps the front end manageable, while the Gauntlet Arms brace provides a stable shooting platform without adding unnecessary weight.

Freefloat Handguard and M-Lok Mounting

The 7-inch ultra-lightweight handguard floats freely from the barrel, meaning the barrel never contacts the handguard itself. This design reduces harmonics and improves consistency shot to shot. M-Lok slots along the handguard let you attach lights, lasers, or other tactical accessories without rail bulk. You're not locked into a specific accessory ecosystem, just straightforward mounting where you need it.

Nitride Bolt Carrier and Chrome Moly Barrel

The complete bolt carrier group uses 9310 alloy steel with nitride finish, a combination that handles repeated cycling without premature wear. The barrel is 4150 chrome moly vanadium with phosphate finish, a proven material pairing that resists corrosion and maintains accuracy through extended shooting sessions. Together these components ensure the pistol cycles reliably and holds up under regular use.

What You Need to Know

This is a full build kit, which means it includes everything except the lower receiver. You'll need a stripped or completed lower receiver to finish the build. The kit comes with the upper assembly, bolt carrier group, charging handle, lower parts kit, buffer tube, 3 oz buffer, recoil spring, end plate, and castle nut. Once you have a lower receiver, assembly is straightforward. The pistol configuration with Gauntlet Arms brace is designed for shooters who want a compact, maneuverable platform without the complexity of NFA paperwork.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Lower receiver not included. BCG and charging handle are not included in the upper assembly alone.
