GWOT DOC Upper Receiver Overview
Upper Receiver:
- Construction: The billeted upper receiver is a product of precision engineering, crafted with exacting tolerances. It features a flawlessly flat barrel face that ensures perfect alignment with the barrel, significantly enhancing accuracy. The need for thermal fitting due to the reduced barrel seat size further improves the precision fit, contributing to increased and repeatable accuracy.
- Coating: The upper receiver is finished with E Series Cerakote over type 3 anodizing, which not only provides a sleek look but also plays a crucial role in reducing wear on components and enhancing corrosion resistance, thereby extending the rifle’s lifespan.
Barrel:
- Stainless Steel: .223 Wylde (5.56/.223) 1/8 Twist 416R stainless steel with a QPQ nitride finish, offering protection against the elements and maintaining the stainless steel’s inherent accuracy. It promises sub MOA accuracy, with potential for 1/2 MOA accuracy in the hands of an experienced shooter.
- Cold Hammer Forged: 5.56 Nato 1/7 Twist CrMoV steel with a manganese phosphate finish and chrome lined bore. Less accurate than the Stainless Steel barrel but more durable. Designed for heavy use when extreme accuracy isn’t required.
- Connection: A Thermal Fit between the barrel and upper creates a strong, unyielding connection, securing the barrel firmly and enhancing accuracy while reducing wear on the bolt for prolonged reliability.
- Material and Finish: The barrel is made from 416R stainless steel with a QPQ nitride finish, offering protection against the elements and maintaining the stainless steel’s inherent accuracy. It promises sub MOA accuracy, with potential for 1/2 MOA accuracy in the hands of an experienced shooter.
- Gas System: The mid-length gas system effectively reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, ensuring reliable performance and a superior shooting experience with each round.
