Key Specifications
- Caliber: 5.56 NATO (.223 Rem compatible)
- Barrel: 7″ nitride-finished, 1:7 twist rate
- Brace: Shockwave Marauder stabilizing blade
- Upper/Lower: Machined 7075-T6 aluminum
- Weight: 4.8 lbs (unloaded)
- Gas System: Pistol-length direct impingement
Feature Breakdown
The nitride-treated barrel resists corrosion while improving heat dissipation—critical for maintaining accuracy during strings of fire. A 1:7 twist rate stabilizes both lighter varmint rounds and heavier 62+ grain projectiles. The Marauder brace provides a rigid contact point without adding bulk, keeping the profile lean for storage or vehicle use.
F1 Firearms’ billet upper and lower receivers are CNC-machined to tighter tolerances than forged counterparts. The enhanced fit reduces flex during recoil, contributing to consistent ejection patterns. Ambidextrous controls include a bolt release and safety selector, accommodating left- or right-handed shooters without modification.
Pistol-length gas system tuning ensures reliable cycling with standard-pressure 5.56 ammunition. The included birdcage flash hider mitigates muzzle rise while directing blast forward—useful in low-light scenarios. Threaded muzzle (1/2×28) accepts common suppressors or compensators if you prefer aftermarket attachments.
Weighing under 5 lbs unloaded, this AR-15 pistol balances maneuverability with controllable recoil. The slim M-LOK handguard offers modular mounting without unnecessary weight. A nitride-coated BCG and enhanced extractor spring round out the durability-focused design.
Compatibility
- Accepts all mil-spec AR-15 trigger groups (including forced-reset designs)
- Works with STANAG magazines and PMAGs
- M-LOK slots fit lights, grips, or IR devices
- Buffer tube compatible with most pistol brace systems
Installation Overview
This pistol ships fully assembled and test-fired. No gunsmithing is required—perform a function check upon receipt as you would with any new firearm. The included Shockwave brace attaches via a standard buffer tube; replacement requires only a castle nut wrench. For optics, we recommend low-profile red dots to maintain the streamlined sightline.
