The VKTR VK1PW 5.56 NATO rifle with a 13.7-inch pinned barrel and SOL NOX muzzle device in Sniper Gray (VKTR part no. V-3110-0916-606) is a piston-driven AR-15 from VKTR Industries built around a very low profile. The SOL NOX is pinned and welded to the barrel to meet a 16-inch barrel length, and the patented piston system matches the footprint and weight of a standard direct-impingement AR-15. A Magpul SL stock and K2 grip, a Hiperfire trigger and fully ambidextrous controls come standard. The Sniper Gray finish gives it a distinct look from the black version. It suits range sessions, home defense and suppressed shooting.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 5.56 NATO, the common rifle cartridge with wide ammunition availability.
• The muzzle device is a SOL NOX, pinned and welded to the 13.7-inch barrel to reach a 16-inch barrel length.
• The color is Sniper Gray, one of the finishes VKTR offers on this rifle.
• The barrel is 13.7 inches of heavy-profile, hammer-forged steel with machined cooling flutes.
• Twist rate is 1:7, a fast twist that stabilizes a wide range of 5.56 bullet weights.
• The system is a short-stroke piston with a cup-and-spigot gas seal and a staged gas bleed that lets it run suppressed or unsuppressed.

• The trigger is a Hiperfire single-stage unit rated at 4.5 pounds.
• The handguard is a 12.5-inch VK-1 design that matches the footprint of a standard AR-15 gas system.
