VKTR Industries VK-1PW Short-Stroke Piston 5.56 NATO FDE/Tan Rifle

Description

Product Overview

The VKTR Industries VK-1PW is a 5.56 NATO semi-automatic rifle built around a low-profile short-stroke piston system. Its patented cup-and-spigot piston assembly improves the gas seal and operating efficiency, while the staged gas-bleed system supports consistent cycling with or without a suppressor and across a range of factory ammunition. A fully supported one-piece operating rod and removable gas block maintain the familiar footprint of a direct-impingement AR-15 while delivering piston-driven operation. The rifle features a 13.7-inch cold hammer forged steel barrel, a pinned and welded HUXWRX Flash Hider QD XL, a 12.5-inch VK-1 handguard, Magpul furniture, an Hiperfire single-stage trigger, and an optic-ready upper receiver.
