PRO2A 16" 40 S&W 1/16 Pistol Caliber NR Side Charging Melonite M-LOK AR-15 Upper Kit

Product Description

Maximize the ballistic efficiency, velocity potential, and manual manipulation speed of your pistol caliber carbine setup without component matching guesswork. The PRO2A 16" 40 S&W Pistol Caliber Non-Reciprocating (NR) Side Charging Melonite M-LOK Upper Build Kit provides an all-inclusive rifle completion package engineered specifically to handle the structural parameters of the .40 S&W round while upgrading your manual of arms. Constructed around a premium billet aluminum receiver featuring an ergonomic left-side side charger that remains completely stationary while live rounds cycle, this setup preserves absolute shooting safety. The heart of the assembly is a 16-inch 4150 CMV medium profile barrel with a specialized 1:16 twist rate, engineered for pinpoint rotational stability with standard 165-grain to heavy 180-grain factory loads. Operating on a rugged straight blowback mechanism that completely eliminates gas tubes and port erosion variables, this turn-key bundle arrives fully paired with a matching side-charge blowback bolt carrier group, dedicated PCC recoil buffer system, complete lower parts kit, and an adjustable 6-position carbine stock assembly. Drop these components directly onto your dedicated Glock pattern stripped lower receiver to complete a high-performance custom tool.

Key Features

Non-Reciprocating Side Charging Action: Intuitively positioned on the left side of the receiver, this mechanism lets you cycle the bolt while keeping your hand secure on the main pistol grip, staying completely fixed during live cycling to prevent handguard interference or gas disruption.
Full 16-Inch Muzzle Velocities: Squeezes complete powder burn from the .40 S&W cartridge, extending intermediate downrange trajectory control and kinetic energy transfer compared to standard handgun platforms.
Tailored 1:16 Twist Stability: Precision-contoured to flawlessly stabilize lightweight defensive hollow-points up to heavy standard-weight flat-nose target projectiles.
Rugged Straight Blowback Setup: Bypasses gas tubes and cycling port parameters completely, ensuring a mechanically simple, remarkably dependable cycling stroke under heavy volume fire strings.
Turn-Key Rifle Build Setup: No piecemeal component tracking required; arrives complete with a non-reciprocating side-charge upper assembly, side-charge blowback BCG, full lower parts kit, dedicated weighted PCC buffer system, and a 6-position adjustable carbine stock.
