The forward assist equipped upper receiver enables manual bolt closure when needed. Chambered in .223 Wylde for optimal performance with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition. Clear anodized green finish provides corrosion resistance with unique appearance. Includes one 30-round magazine, Zero short reset trigger, Stryker ambidextrous charging handle, Plan B muzzle device, M-LOK handguard, and ambidextrous controls.

Dual Taper Lock (DTL) System

The Dual Taper Lock system works in conjunction with proprietary tapered barrel extension and tapered barrel, providing a "push-pull" relationship that ensures bore centricity between upper receiver and barrel. This mounting system delivers exceptional rigidity and maintains barrel alignment under extreme impacts or trauma. The main barrel nut is also compatible with Mil-Spec barrels by reversing it. Thermal expansion rings featured on the DTL barrel guide the barrel to expand in the direction of the bore rather than deflecting and shifting point of impact during prolonged shooting.

Helix Gas Regulating Barrel System

The Helix Gas Regulating Barrel System represents a different approach to gas adjustment, prioritizing extreme reliability and easy maintenance. This is not merely an adjustable gas block—it's a rock-solid system that works in unison with the barrel for optimum durability, critical for hard-use suppressed firearms. The integrated design ensures consistent function across varying ammunition types and suppressed or unsuppressed configurations.

Precision Lapped Barrel

The 11.5-inch barrel starts with premium 416-R stainless steel bar that is gun-drilled and reamed with 5R rifling. Increased cycle times and frequent tool changes maintain tighter tolerances across the entire production run. The barrel is then lapped to reduce tooling marks and achieve superior bore finish. The blank is fully stress relieved and precision air gauged before profiling, threading, and chambering. Black nitride finish provides corrosion resistance and enhanced durability.

.223 Wylde Chamber

The .223 Wylde chamber provides optimal performance with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition. This hybrid chamber design delivers match-grade accuracy with .223 Remington while safely handling 5.56 NATO pressures, providing versatility without compromising precision.

Clear Anodized Green Finish

The clear anodized green finish provides distinctive appearance while delivering corrosion resistance and surface protection. The anodizing process creates a hard, durable surface layer that resists wear and environmental exposure while maintaining the unique green aesthetic.

Exceptionally Rigid Handguard System

The proprietary handguard mount delivers extreme rigidity between upper receiver and handguard through the dual taper mounting system. Precision-drilled anti-rotation pins provide perfect monolithic-like alignment and anti-rotational rigidity. Five sides of full-length M-LOK slots plus two additional slots at the front create a partial seven-sided M-LOK handguard for extensive accessory mounting capability.

Forward Assist Upper Receiver

The forward assist equipped upper receiver enables manual bolt closure when needed. The forward assist proves useful in adverse conditions or when chambering certain ammunition types, providing manual override capability for the bolt carrier group.

Zero Short Reset Trigger

The Zero trigger features zero pre-travel and zero post-travel combined with short, positive reset design. Exceptionally smooth, crisp trigger break enables fast, accurate shooting. The trigger delivers competition-grade performance in a duty-ready package.

Stryker Ambidextrous Charging Handle

The ambidextrous charging handle allows multiple methods of manipulation regardless of shooting side or position. The extended latches provide positive purchase for reliable operation even with gloves.

45/90° Selector

The modular safety selector allows easy conversion from standard 90° to 45° throw by removing detent pressure and rotating the drum 180° inside the lower receiver. The shorter 45° throw enables faster transitions between safe and fire positions.

Blackout Dynamics Bolt Carrier Group

The carrier is manufactured from 8620 steel while the shot-peened bolt is made from 9310 steel. Bolts are batch high-pressure tested and individually magnetic particle inspected after heat-treat to ensure no microcracks. This rigorous quality control ensures reliability and longevity.

Plan B Muzzle Device

The Plan B compatible muzzle device enables fast, secure suppressor attachment for Plan B equipped suppressors.

Ambidextrous Controls

The ambidextrous magazine release facilitates operation for left-handed shooters while ensuring magazines drop free easily. The ambidextrous bolt release enables faster reloads from either side. The enhanced bolt catch/release increases ergonomics for improved weapon manipulation.

Single Point Sling Mount

Billet steel low-profile rear QD plate features anti-rotation limits for ambidextrous sling use. The robust construction withstands the demands of tactical and competition use. The Blackout Dynamics Quantum DTL-X Helix pistol combines precision engineering with innovative systems and distinctive clear anodized green finish—delivering exceptional accuracy and reliability in a compact platform.
