The market for compact, AR-pattern platforms chambered in intermediate calibers has grown steadily as shooters look for controllable power in shorter packages. A tactical carbine that balances a heavy short barrel, reinforced carriers, and forged receivers can offer dependable performance for duty, range, or patrol applications.

Design and Construction

The platform uses forged 7075 T-6 aluminum for both the A3 flattop upper and the forged 7075 T-6 lower (Diamondback Carbon). The bolt carrier group is a shot-peened, magnetic particle inspected Mil-Spec 8620 carrier for enhanced durability under repeated stress. The 6″ M-LOK handguard provides modular accessory attachment points without adding unnecessary bulk.

Controls and Ergonomics

Ergonomically the rifle features a Moe grip and a buffer tube foam pad stock to aid in recoil management. The package ships with a 28-round CPD magazine and an A2 flash hider (5/8 x 24). The rifle comes without sights, so pairing with a compact optic or backup iron sights is recommended for practical use.

Ballistics & Use Cases

Chambered in 7.62×39, this carbine balances terminal performance at close to intermediate ranges with controllable recoil in a compact length. The heavy 7″ barrel and 1:9.5 twist stabilize common 7.62×39 projectiles, while the pistol-length gas system helps tune dwell and gas pressure for short-barrel reliability. Weighing 5.1 lbs and measuring 23 inches overall, it’s well suited for duty, mobile patrol, and short-range precision drills. View product details and pricing.
