Key features and why they matter

Barrel and accuracy

The SOCOM profile gives a balance of rigidity and manageable weight, helping with repeatable shot placement while remaining handy in close quarters. The Melonite treatment reduces friction and improves longevity compared with untreated barrels. Chambered in 5.56mm, this rifle leverages a common defense caliber that delivers controllable recoil, plentiful ammunition options, and effective terminal performance inside typical engagement distances.

Receivers, controls, and reliability

The upper is a MIL-STD M4 configuration; the lower is forged 7075-T6 aluminum with FDE Cerakote on both for corrosion resistance and a uniform finish. MIL-STD forward assist, dust cover, and charging handle provide familiar, serviceable controls for tactical use and rapid manipulation under stress.

Handguard, furniture, and ergonomics

A 15″ free-float M-Lok hybrid rail allows accessory placement without touching the barrel, improving barrel harmonics and accessory flexibility. The B5 Bravo stock paired with a B5 Polymer Type 23 pistol grip and carbine MIL-STD buffer tube with a six-position adjustment ensures a modern, ergonomic fit for a variety of shooters. The package ships with one 30-round magazine.
