Cold Hammer Forged M4 Profile Barrel
The 16 inch barrel features cold hammer forged construction from 4150 CrMoV steel. Cold hammer forging compresses the steel during manufacturing, creating a denser grain structure that enhances strength and accuracy potential. The M4 profile provides appropriate rigidity while balancing weight. Phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and durability. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of projectile weights from 55 to 77 grains effectively. Carbine length gas system provides reliable cycling across varied ammunition types.
Keymod Handguard System
The 15 inch Keymod handguard extends nearly to the muzzle device, maximizing usable mounting length. Keymod attachment system allows modular accessory placement through keyhole shaped slots. 6061 T6 aluminum construction keeps weight manageable while providing structural rigidity. The 15 inch length provides ample rail space for lights, grips, and other accessories.
M4 Feed Ramps for Reliable Feeding
The upper receiver features M4 feed ramps machined into the receiver extension. These extended feed ramps guide cartridges smoothly from the magazine into the chamber, reducing feeding issues with varied ammunition types. M4 feed ramps are standard on modern AR-15 platforms and ensure compatibility with most barrels and bolts.
Premium Bolt Carrier Group
The bolt carrier group features 9310 alloy steel construction with nitride finish. This material provides enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection in a high pressure platform. The nitride treatment penetrates the steel surface rather than coating it, maintaining dimensional tolerances while adding durability.
Special Operations Adjustable Stock
The Special Operations adjustable stock features glass filled polymer construction in black. Adjustable design allows length of pull customization for different shooting positions, clothing, or body armor. Glass filled polymer provides durability and rigidity while reducing weight compared to traditional stocks.
Full Build Kit Components
This kit includes the upper assembly with barrel and handguard, bolt carrier group, charging handle, buffer tube, buffer, recoil spring, castle nut, end plate, lower parts kit, and Special Operations adjustable stock. Lower receiver not included. The cold hammer forged barrel and premium components provide a solid foundation for a reliable AR-15 build.
