What Makes a Micro AR Pistol Special?

• Extreme maneuverability in tight spaces

• Reduced overall weight for easy handling

• Customization with optics, lights, braces, and grips

• Dependable performance in a small footprint

With the right kit, you get everything needed to assemble a compact powerhouse that still uses standard AR-15 components.

Most kits include:

• Micro upper receiver assembly

• Nitride or phosphate barrel

• Free-floating handguard

• Bolt carrier group (BCG)

• Charging handle

• Lower parts kit (LPK)
