The CQB upper receiver features a 16.25-inch Picatinny top rail, along with eight inches of rail on the left and right and seven inches on the bottom, allowing for maximum customization with optics, lasers, grips, and accessories. The monolithic rail platform (MRP™) design enhances durability and ensures exceptional accuracy. The barrel uses a low-profile gas block with a straight gas tube, coated with a proprietary finish and cryogenically treated for increased lifespan and performance.
The MARS-L ambidextrous lower receiver offers full ambidextrous controls, including the bolt catch and release, magazine release, and safety selector, making it adaptable for right- and left-handed shooters. It includes LMT’s EDM-machined two-stage trigger, an enhanced trigger guard, and a winter trigger guard for gloved operation. The QD endplate allows for easy sling attachment, while the SOPMOD stock and LMT ergonomic textured grip provide excellent handling and comfort.
