Live Free Armory LFA Challenger 9mm 16" AR Rifle, Black - LF9CH85001

The Live Free Armory Challenger 9mm PCC operates on a straight blowback system and does not require a gas block and gas tube as traditionally found in other AR15s. The direct blowback system uses the kinetic energy generated from the discharge of the cartridge, to push the bolt back and cycle the action. The Challenger-9 is compatible with standard frame GLOCK G17/G19 pattern magazines. The receivers are machined from custom 6061-T6 billet aluminum. The LFA Challenger utilizes a 16 inch barrel. These barrels are manufactured with the same quality and attention to detail as our AR15/AR308 you know and love. The free float handguard measures in at 15in M-lok compatible, free float handguard, with sling QD points at 3 & 9' o'clock positions.Specifications:Barrel Length: 16"Barrel Material: 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium SteelBarrel Finish: Black NitrideBarrel Profile: StraightChamber: 9mmTwist Rate: 1:10"Gas System: Direct BlowbackGas Block Type: NoneReceiver Set: Precision CNC Machined Billet 6061 T6 AluminumMuzzle Device: A2 Flash HiderMuzzle Threads: 1/2x36Receiver Style: LFA 9mm PCCReceiver Finish: CerakoteForward Assist: NoDust Cover: NoHandguard Style: LFA Lightweight 15" M-Lok Free FloatLast Round Bolt Hold Open: YesBolt Carrier Steel: SteelFire Control Group: AR-15 Single-Stage Mil-Spec TubeAdjustment: 6-Position CollapsibleStock: Battle Link Minimalist StockGrip: Thril Rugged Tactical GripMagazine Compatibility: Glock Compatable MagazinesMagazine: 1- 17rd PMAGImportant: A standard 1/2x36 flash hider will not have enough clearance for a 9mm round to pass.
