VKTR Industries VK-1

The VKTR Industries VK-1 is a lightweight, low-profile, feature-rich piston-driven AR-15 designed for discerning shooters seeking superior performance. It incorporates patented state-of-the-art internal components for a flatter, cleaner, and more consistent shooting experience than traditional direct impingement or legacy piston systems—all in the lowest-profile footprint available. The revolutionary short-stroke piston design maintains the weight and dimensions of a standard DI AR-15 while delivering piston-driven reliability.

At the core is a patented low-profile piston system with optimal gas port sizing, a unique cup-and-spigot piston assembly for improved gas seal and efficiency, and a staged gas bleed with dual exhaust ports to reduce operating rod inertia. The fully supported one-piece op rod, removable gas block, patented billet ambidextrous controls, heavy-duty buffer retainer, and precision one-piece bolt carrier with enhanced cam path ensure lifelong durability and match-grade consistency. Premium components include a Radian Raptor charging handle and Talon selector, continuous Picatinny rail, thermal-fit forged upper, low-profile M-LOK handguard with cooling flutes, Magpul MOE SL stock and K2 grip, and a pinned-and-welded Sons of Liberty Gun Works NOX muzzle device.

With its 13.7" barrel extended to a non-NFA 16" overall length via the pinned NOX (compatible with Dead Air Sandman Keymount suppressors), the VK-1 serves as an ideal suppressor host without compromising maneuverability. This versatile platform suits tactical applications, precision shooting, home defense, or duty use, offering patented innovations, ambidextrous ergonomics, and piston benefits in a familiar, lightweight AR package.
