The VKTR VK-1 Complete AR-15 Upper, 13.7-Inch Barrel, SOLGW NOX Muzzle Device, Sniper Grey is a complete Cerakote piston upper for the AR-15 platform (VKTR part no. V-4027-3410-006-RP). Its 13.7-inch barrel carries a pinned and welded Sons of Liberty Gun Works NOX muzzle device, which brings the barrel to the 16-inch requirement and gives you a suppressor host that stays a rifle. The upper pairs VKTR’s patented low-profile short-stroke piston system with a 12.6-inch low-profile M-LOK handguard and a thermal-fit forged receiver. It is aimed at shooters who want a short, light piston carbine already assembled and finished.

Key Specifications

• The barrel is 13.7 inches with a pinned and welded SOLGW NOX muzzle device, which meets the 16-inch barrel requirement.
• The barrel is a heavy profile with a 1:7 twist, machined cooling flutes and a nitride finish.
• The 12.6-inch low-profile M-LOK handguard leaves room for lights, grips and other M-LOK accessories.
• The 15-slot upper receiver rail forms a continuous 12 o’clock Picatinny mount for optics and reduces the weight of the forged receiver.
• A thermal-fit forged receiver is meant to deliver the highest accuracy potential and eliminate heat-related point-of-impact shift.
• The VK-1 piston system is VKTR’s patented low-profile design, tuned to maximize reliability with the smallest possible footprint.
• The finish is Cerakote in Sniper Grey, a protective coating applied over the upper.
