The WMD Guns Micro Beast 5.56 NATO pistol is a 5-inch AR with forged, distressed NiB-X coated receivers (brand part no. 1-NIBXARPISTOL-5-D). WMD Guns coats the receivers, bolt carrier group and fire control parts in its NiB-X nickel boron process, which resists moisture, wear and fouling. The pistol comes optic ready and brace ready, with a nitrided 5-inch barrel and a flash can on the muzzle. A 7-inch M-LOK handguard and an Ergo grip complete the build. It is a compact, durable pistol for close-quarters work and range use.
