VKTR Industries VK1 Piston-Driven 16″ AR15 – Armor Black – 223REM/556NATO

Description

The VK-1 is a lightweight, low profile, feature-rich, piston driven AR-15 for the discerning shooter features patented state of the art internal components, offering shooters a flatter, cleaner, more consistent shooting experience than traditional DI or legacy Piston driven AR’s…in the lowest profile footprint on the market.

The VK-1 uses a revolutionary, patented low-profile piston system design featuring optimum gas port sizing and a piston assembly featuring a unique cup and spigot design that improves the gas seal and overall efficiency of the gas system. The VK-1 also includes a staged gas bleed system with two sets of exhaust ports at precisely determined distances to reduce the inertia of the operating rod once it nears the end of its stroke. The reimagined VK-1 Short Stroke Piston System includes a fully-supported one-piece op rod and removable gas block and matches the footprint and weight of a standard DI AR-15 while providing the benefits of a piston driven system.

FEATURES:

• Fully ambidextrous, including a patented billet machined magazine release and bolt catch. Heat-treated billet construction ensures these components will perform for a lifetime of service even in the most hostile conditions.
• Heavy Duty Buffer Retainer -Patented design with a precisely angled strike face that corresponds to the vertical plane of the buffer assembly, giving a greater area of surface contact. The last retaining pin you will ever need.
• Bolt Carrier Group -Preicison machined one-piece patented bolt carrier with correct timing, revised cam path, finished in thin, dense chrome. Patented enhanced cam path for consistent lock up, shot after shot. Match performance right out of the gate.
