The VKTR VK1PW in 5.56 NATO (brand part no. V-3110-0916-606) is a piston-operated semi-auto rifle built around a 13.7-inch, cold hammer-forged barrel, pinned and welded to a Sol Nox muzzle device for a 16-inch overall length that avoids NFA short-barrel registration. VKTR Industries runs the patented VK-1 piston system through a 12.5-inch VKTR handguard rail, and finishes the rifle in Cerakote Sniper Grey. The rifle includes fully ambidextrous controls and a Magpul MOE SL buttstock. Among piston-driven AR platforms in the AR rifles category, the VK1PW favors shooters who want a compact, piston-operated 5.56 carbine in a distinct field finish.
