VKTR V31100916636 556 11.5 Arm/Black Carbine

The VKTR V31100916636 FRGD 556 11.5 in Arm Black is a lightweight, piston-driven rifle platform engineered for operators who demand flatter recoil impulse and superior control. Built on VKTR Industries' patented short-stroke piston system, this 11.5-inch barreled rifle delivers a cleaner, more consistent shooting experience than traditional direct-impingement or legacy piston platforms. The compact 11.5-inch barrel length makes this carbine suitable for close-quarters operations, vehicle-mounted employment, and breaching scenarios where maneuverability is critical without sacrificing 5.56mm NATO ballistics.

Key to the V31100916636's performance is its precision-machined one-piece bolt carrier and patented internal geometry. The angled strike face corresponds directly to the vertical plane of the buffer assembly, creating a greater surface contact area that reduces shock and extends component life. Fully ambidextrous controls—including a patented billet-machined magazine release and bolt catch—enable seamless operation by right- or left-handed shooters. At 12.24 lbs and 41 inches overall length, this rifle balances firepower with portability demanded in tactical and professional environments.

This platform serves law enforcement special response teams, military marksmen, and private security operators who require a proven short-barrel 5.56 NATO rifle. The piston-driven architecture runs cooler and cleaner than DI systems, reducing fouling during extended shooting sessions. The arm black finish provides corrosion resistance in field conditions. The compact form factor and controllable recoil dynamics make this rifle suitable for CQB training, patrol duty, and specialized operations where rapid target transitions and close-range precision are equally important.
