Featuring an 8.3-inch cold hammer forged barrel, 1:10 twist, and hydraulic buffer, it weighs just 6.1 pounds. Despite AR-style aesthetics, it’s a unique, recoil-operated system with no gas or piston. Designed for duty use, the SBR version offers compact performance with top-tier build quality and compatibility with standard 9mm muzzle devices.

This strategic alliance aims to equip U.S. and Allied forces with advanced firepower, marking a major step forward in battlefield capability and military small arms innovation.

Designed for extreme conditions—heat, cold, sand, mud—it ensures optimal performance. The upgrade reinforces CZ’s reputation for combat-ready firearms trusted by global militaries.
