Doublestar ARP7 Pistol 5.56 7.5 30rd - 7.5" Barrel, 30 Rounds

The Doublestar ARP7 is a small, lightweight, compact, AR-pattern pistol that combines those two trends and is also chock-full of the build quality and features that gun owners have come to expect from DoubleStar. Weighing just 5.4 pounds, the ARP7 is chambered in 5.56 NATO and has 7.5-inch barrel with a heavy profile and a 1:9-inch twist rate. At the end of the barrel is a key feature that makes the ARP7 so much fun to shoot: DoubleStar’s own “Big Timber” muzzle brake, which calms the movement of this small, little AR-15 as it’s being used and makes it a joy to shoot.

The barrel has a low-profile gas block and is free-floated inside a handguard covered in M-Lok mounting slots, allowing you to quickly mount all manner of lights, lasers and other accessories onto your gun. The overall length of the gun is a short 24.5 inches, making it ideal for use when you’re moving around inside the close confines of a vehicle or inside a building, and its light weight means you can carry it all day without it cramping your style. Because the handguard is so short, though, I would highly recommend attaching a hand stop of some kind on the bottom of the handguard to prevent your support hand from sliding forwards off the guard and in front of the gun.

The upper receiver has a flat top with the ubiquitous Picatinny rail on top and M4-profile feed ramps. The lower receiver sports an Ergo grip and, in a nice concession to left-handed shooters like myself, an ambidextrous safety lever. Attached to the back of the lower is a standard buffer tube with sling mounting plate
