Panhead Barrel and Upper Receiver

The barrel runs 8.5 inches in .300 Blackout with a 1-in-8 twist rate, heavy profile, 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium construction with a Parkerized finish, and a nitride barrel extension finish. The pistol-length gas system pairs with a .750 O.D. micro low-profile gas block. The Panhead billet upper receiver is 6061-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish. Thread pitch is 5-in-8x24, and the kit includes a 5.99-inch 6061-T6 aluminum muzzle-mounted fake can.

Handguard

The 10-inch freefloat quad-rail handguard is 6061-T6 aluminum with a black finish. The quad-rail profile provides full-length rail surface on all four sides for accessory placement across the entire forend. At 10 inches, the handguard length exceeds the 8.5-inch barrel, so the barrel does not protrude past the handguard, with the muzzle device providing clearance forward of the handguard end.

Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle

The included bolt carrier group covers the 5.56, .223, .300, and .350 platform family and is 9310 alloy steel with a nitride finish. A Mil-Spec M4 charging handle completes the upper component set.

Gauntlet Arms Polymer Stabilizing Brace

The kit includes the Gauntlet Arms polymer stabilizing brace in black, constructed from high-strength polymer. The brace pairs with the included heavy-duty pistol buffer tube and provides the rear interface for this pistol configuration.

Buffer System and Lower Components

The kit includes a heavy-duty pistol buffer tube, a 3 oz buffer, a standard AR-15 carbine recoil spring, a Mil-Spec receiver end plate, and a castle nut. A lower parts kit covers the internal lower receiver components required for lower completion. These components cover the full lower completion hardware outside the serialized receiver itself.

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