FAQ

What lower does it fit?

A dedicated pistol-caliber AR lower that takes Glock-style 9mm magazines. A standard AR-15 lower with 5.56 magazines will not feed it.

How does it operate?

It is a direct blowback pistol-caliber design with no gas tube or gas block, so a heavy PCC buffer is used for reliable cycling.

Does the bolt lock back on empty?

No. This is a non-LRBHO setup, so the bolt does not hold open after the last round.

Is a lower receiver included?

No. This is an upper assembly only; the lower receiver and magazine are sold separately.
