The Vector V31 Forged AR-15 delivers precision engineering in a compact 13.7-inch barrel configuration optimized for 5.56 NATO performance. This forged upper receiver system combines enhanced accuracy with reduced weight for tactical applications requiring maneuverability without sacrificing ballistic performance.
What Makes This Different
The forged construction process creates a receiver that's 15-20% stronger than standard cast alternatives while maintaining tighter tolerances for consistent lockup. The 13.7-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity retention while keeping overall length manageable for vehicle operations and close-quarters scenarios. Heat treatment and stress relief processes ensure dimensional stability under rapid fire conditions.
Key Features
- Forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver with enhanced strength-to-weight ratio
- 13.7-inch chrome-lined barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington
- 30-round magazine capacity with anti-tilt follower design
- Mil-spec trigger group compatibility and standard AR-15 parts interchange
- Type III hard coat anodized finish in armor black for corrosion resistance
- M4 feed ramp extension for reliable feeding with various ammunition weights
- Standard Picatinny rail system for optics and accessory mounting
Field testing demonstrates consistent 2 MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition at 100 yards. The 13.7-inch barrel generates approximately 2,850 fps with 55-grain projectiles, providing effective terminal performance to 400 meters. The forged receiver maintains zero retention through temperature cycling from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for law enforcement patrol rifles and competitive shooting applications.
