VKTR VK-1, 5.56mm, 16" Barrel, 2- 30rd Magazines, Ambi LAT Installed, Black/FDE, Rifle

VKTR VK-1, 5.56 NATO, 16", 30rd, Ambi LAT Trigger, Armor Black/Magpul FDE Rifle

The VKTR Industries VK-1 brings a 16-inch hammer-forged barrel, a low-profile piston action and an installed ambidextrous LAT trigger together in a distinctive 5.56 NATO rifle. It is an appealing combination for the enthusiast who wants a carefully equipped AR-15 with a refined trigger feel and a finish that stands out on the rack. The Radian Raptor-LT charging handle adds another familiar name to the build.

Armor Black and Magpul FDE Cerakote give the rifle a deliberate two-tone appearance. The upper and lower receivers are FDE, contrasted by the black handguard, barrel, grip, trigger guard, stock, buffer tube, charging handle and small parts. Two 30-round magazines are included, and a VKTR Plan B three-prong flash hider completes the muzzle.

A 16-Inch Hammer-Forged Barrel in 5.56 NATO

The 16-inch barrel is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and uses a 1:7 twist. Hammer forging forms the barrel around a mandrel under heavy mechanical pressure, producing the bore and rifling through a durable manufacturing process. For someone selecting a rifle to enjoy over years of range use, that barrel construction is a meaningful part of the VK-1's appeal.

The muzzle has a 1/2x28 thread pitch and arrives with the VKTR Plan B three-prong flash hider installed. The three-prong design gives the front of the rifle a purposeful finish while addressing visible muzzle flash. Together, the barrel, chambering and muzzle device give you a clearly defined configuration around which to choose suitable ammunition and range equipment.

Low-Profile Piston Design with Familiar AR Ergonomics

The VK-1 uses a self-regulating short-stroke piston system in a low-profile AR-15 layout. Its piston arrangement helps keep combustion gas and fouling forward of the receiver, making the operating system a central reason to choose the VK-1. You get that piston-driven character in a rifle with the controls and proportions familiar to AR owners.

An M-LOK handguard provides attachment points for compatible accessories. Its black finish continues the contrast with the FDE receivers, keeping the rifle visually cohesive as you choose equipment for your preferred setup. The result is a useful starting point for an owner who enjoys making thoughtful choices about how a range rifle is equipped.

The Triggered Company LAT Already Installed

The Triggered Company LAT is fitted to the rifle in its ambidextrous, three-position assisted-reset configuration. Its match-grade character is especially apparent in conventional semi-automatic operation, where the single-stage pull is rated at 3-3.5 pounds. A defined break gives deliberate target shooting a satisfying feel each time you settle behind the rifle.

The LAT uses a red cassette housing, hardened steel construction and black-nitride treatment on wear surfaces. The ambidextrous selector provides access from either side. With the trigger already part of the completed rifle, you can choose the VK-1 for this specific combination of barrel, action, trigger and finish.

Radian Raptor-LT and Ambidextrous Controls

The black Radian Raptor-LT charging handle offers ambidextrous access, making it a welcome detail for left-handed shooters and anyone who appreciates accessible controls. Its aluminum construction and reinforced-polymer overmolding combine a solid internal structure with broad gripping surfaces. It is a component you will notice during routine handling.

The VK-1 platform also includes ambidextrous magazine-release and bolt-catch controls. Alongside the LAT's ambidextrous selector, these features give the rifle a consistent approach to control access. The emphasis is on the parts you interact with, adding practical value to the rifle's more visible finish and barrel features.

Armor Black and Magpul FDE, with Two Magazines Included

The color layout keeps the FDE concentrated on the upper and lower receivers, with black furniture and components framing the center of the rifle. The contrast draws attention to the receiver set and gives the VK-1 a coordinated appearance from the muzzle to the stock. Cerakote brings a durable surface coating to that two-tone treatment.

Both supplied magazines hold 30 rounds. Having a second magazine from the start is convenient when preparing for a range visit and gives the completed rifle a more useful starting complement. Between the installed LAT, Raptor-LT and Plan B flash hider, the details that define this VK-1 are already in place.
