Made from high strength 17-4 stainless heat treated to H900 and then nitrided with a QPQ process for extremely high corrosion resistance. The combination of the material the heat treat process and the hard coating enable Badlands to withstand full auto fire. The internal muzzle brake helps reduce recoil and muzzle rise by uniformly dissipating gasses through coned ports that counter recoil. Taming the dramatically expanding gasses associated with muzzle blast. The integrated blast deflector directs blast concussion where it belongs… down range.
