Vktr Industries VK-1 5.56mm 10.5" 31-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The VKTR Industries VK-1 5.56mm 10.5" 31-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle is purpose-built for operators and tactical professionals who demand a compact, rifle-length platform without sacrificing magazine capacity or modularity. This short-barrel rifle (SBR) configuration delivers the firepower and ergonomics of a full-size carbine in a package optimized for close-quarters operations, vehicle work, and dynamic entry scenarios. The 10.5-inch barrel length provides superior ballistic performance over pistol-caliber alternatives while maintaining the maneuverability critical in confined spaces where full-length AR platforms become liabilities.

The threaded barrel design enables end-user installation of suppressors, flash hiders, or compensators—critical capabilities for noise reduction on tactical operations or muzzle impulse management during rapid fire sequences. Built on the 5.56mm NATO standard, this platform benefits from decades of proven reliability and unlimited ammunition availability, unlike proprietary intermediate calibers. At 11.25 pounds unloaded, the VK-1 strikes a practical balance between weight management and structural rigidity; the 31-round magazine capacity provides sustained firepower without frequent reloads, a decisive advantage in high-risk engagements or force-on-force training scenarios where ammunition count directly impacts operational survivability.

This rifle is ideal for law enforcement tactical units, military support personnel, private security teams, and experienced civilian operators conducting precision rifery or dynamic shooting disciplines. The threaded barrel and compact profile make it an excellent platform for suppressor-ready configurations, especially for those operating in noise-restricted training environments or jurisdictions where sound signature management is operationally relevant. Like all short-barrel rifles, the VK-1 requires proper federal registration as an NFA firearm, and buyers must ensure local and state compliance before purchase—this is a restricted platform requiring dealer coordination with ATF Form 4 processing.
