Shorty Slade 10.5" 5.56 NATO AR-15 Pistol Build Kit, 12" M-Lok Slant-Pro, w/ SBA3 Brace

This is a complete AR-15 pistol build kit designed for shooters who want a compact, maneuverable platform. It includes everything except the lower receiver, which is the serialized component you'll source separately. The kit pairs a 10.5-inch nitride-finished barrel with a 12-inch M-Lok handguard, a micro low-profile gas block, and an SBA3 brace for stability.

Perfect For

• Shooters building a compact home defense or training platform
• Builders looking for a complete kit that handles the upper assembly and core components
• Pistol-configured AR-15 users who want a shorter sight radius and tighter handling
• Ranges and training environments where shorter barrels offer practical advantages

Compact Muzzle Device Design

The flash can muzzle device uses a steel design that keeps the overall profile compact while managing blast signature. The 1/2x28 thread pitch is standard for 5.56 NATO barrels and supports common aftermarket accessories. This design complements the short barrel without adding unnecessary length to the platform.

Gas System Efficiency

The carbine-length gas tube paired with the micro low-profile gas block is sized for the 10.5-inch barrel length. This combination manages cycling without requiring custom tuning. The gas block sits low on the barrel to maintain sight line clearance and handguard compatibility.

SBA3 Brace Configuration

The SBA3 brace is included and fully adjustable for length of pull. It provides a stable platform for consistent shooting control. The brace attaches to the mil-spec buffer tube included in the kit and offers multiple position settings for different shooting positions and body types.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Lower receiver not included. Verify that all components are compatible before assembly.
