Compact Barrel, Proven Materials

The 10.5-inch barrel strikes an ideal balance between portability and ballistic performance. Constructed from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium with a protective phosphate finish, it resists wear and environmental exposure while maintaining accuracy over thousands of rounds. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes a broad spectrum of bullet weights, from lightweight 55gr to heavier 77gr projectiles, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection for training, competition, or defensive use.

Freefloat M-LOK Handguard

The freefloat M-LOK handguard enhances accuracy by eliminating barrel contact while providing a modern mounting interface for lights, grips, and sling attachments. Its lightweight design reduces front-end weight, improving handling and reducing fatigue during extended use. The slim profile maintains ergonomics without sacrificing strength or modularity, making it ideal for shooters who want accessory flexibility without the bulk of traditional quad-rail systems.

Reliable Gas System and Upper Receiver

The carbine-length gas system ensures dependable cycling across various ammunition loads and environmental conditions. Paired with a 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver featuring an anodized finish and M4 feed ramps, this upper delivers smooth feeding and reduced risk of malfunctions. The robust construction extends component life while maintaining a lightweight profile that keeps the rifle nimble and responsive.

Ready for Customization

This upper kit arrives ready for integration with your choice of lower receiver, optics, and accessories. The M-LOK slots allow for endless configuration options, while the 1/2x28 TPI barrel threads accept standard AR-15 muzzle devices—swap the included flash hider for a compensator, brake, or suppressor mount to suit your needs. Whether you're building a dedicated home defense pistol or a versatile range companion, the Foxhole upper kit offers the modularity and performance serious builders demand.
