The VKTR VK-1PW 5.56 NATO piston rifle in Armor Black (brand part no. V-3110-0916-620) uses a 13.7-inch barrel with a HUX WRX Flash Hider XL QD pinned and welded to reach 16 inches. The patented low-profile short-stroke piston system matches the footprint and weight of a standard direct-impingement AR-15. Billet ambidextrous controls, a Radian Raptor charging handle, a Magpul SL stock and a Magpul K2 grip are standard. It comes from VKTR Industries for shooters who want a compact piston AR in a classic black finish.
