This SPR-14.5 Short Stroke Piston Rifle is chambered in 5.56 NATO.
Built on a 14.5" light weight contour 416R stainless steel barrel with a 1/2x28 thread pitch.
The SPR-14.5 runs a patented "Bleed Off" gas piston system. Built gas pressure within the block is reduced only to the amount required to drive/cycle the carrier. All remaining gas is bled out of the block allowing the system to run cleaner and noticeably cooler. This will reduce your weapons recoil and eliminate blow back while running suppressed. This block is fully adjustable up to 30 positions allowing you to fine tune your system unlike most systems which only allows 3-4 positions.
The carrier is coated in Titanium Nitride while the bolt is coated in Nitride. Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is a wear resistant, inert, and reduces friction. Titanium Nitride also reduces galling between sliding components and improves overall life.
The SPR-14.5 rifle runs our TYPE-A SPR-13.5 GEN3 MLOK Handguard which allows the shooter a shorter overall platform.
This rifle has an 14.5" 416R stainless steel barrel with an ASR Ready Brake that is permanently affixed. This is done by pinning and welding the muzzle to achieve the over 16" barrel length requirements. Other muzzles options available upon request.
This rifle runs our TYPE-A PMC Two-Stage Trigger. Constructed from pre-hardened 4140 this trigger is coated in Nickel Teflon to fight against friction and to ensure lubricity. The PMC Two-Stage Trigger ships at 1 1/2 reset to 3 1/2 trigger pull.

Adjusting Your Gas

"If you’re running a rifle with an adjustable gas block, consider the following process for finding your sweet spot. First, close the gas port almost all the way. This means bottoming out the gas port screw and then backing off ¼ turn. Then insert a 1-round mag and fire. If the round doesn’t eject, open the gas port screw another ¼ turn and repeat. Continue this procedure until the casing ejects and the bolt locks back on the empty mag. Once you get good ejection and bolt lock open, open the gas port screw one more ¼ turn. This is your minimum setting for reliable function. Beyond this, you’ll want to group tune the rifle. Your barrel will group differently based on gas setting. If you’re selected ammo is performing good at your minimum setting, then great. If not, then try firing 3 round groups in ¼ turn increments up to 1 whole turn. You should find some improvement in this range."
