PRO2A 16" 9mm 1/10 Pistol Caliber Melonite M-LOK Upper

Flawless Direct Blowback Performance For Pistol Caliber Carbines

Step up your Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) build with the PRO2A 16" 9mm Pistol Caliber M-LOK Upper Receiver Assembly. Engineered for exceptional reliability and flat-shooting accuracy, this complete upper uses a solid direct blowback system that eliminates complex gas parts. It drops natively onto your dedicated 9mm lower receiver or standard AR-15 lower equipped with a 9mm magazine conversion block. Proudly 100% designed, machined, and precision-assembled in the USA.

Key Features

Melonite/Nitride Barrel Protection: The heavy-duty 4150 CMV steel barrel features a premium Melonite treatment inside and out. This creates a hard, slick surface that dramatically increases barrel life, aids in heat dissipation, and resists corrosive fouling over thousands of rounds.
Optimized 1:10 Twist Rate: The 1:10 button-rifled twist rate is mathematically tailored for standard 9mm projectiles, cleanly stabilizing common 115-grain, 124-grain, and heavy sub-sonic 147-grain target or defense loads with equal precision.
Ultra-Reliable Direct Blowback System: By replacing standard gas blocks and tubes with a rugged blowback design, this assembly reduces points of failure, ensuring your rifle feeds, fires, and extracts reliably under high-volume shooting cycles.
Slim Profile M-LOK Handguard: The free-float handguard is machined from robust 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a top Picatinny rail and crisp M-LOK attachment windows at key angles for lights, lasers, and vertical grips.
