Shark Coast Tactical Blaze 5.56 NATO 10.5" 30rd Pistol

Blaze is a 10.5" AR pistol in 5.56 NATO with a custom Cerakote pattern applied in house at Shark Coast Tactical. The short barrel is the reason these guns exist. A 10.5" gun with the brace collapsed measures a little over two feet, which is the difference between a rifle that lives in a safe and one that fits in a bag or behind a truck seat.

The receivers are aluminum, the top is a continuous Picatinny rail, and the handguard is M-LOK so lights, sights and hand stops attach without adapters stacking up. The muzzle is threaded, which matters on a barrel this short since most owners eventually hang a can or a brake off the end. Controls, trigger, magazines and buffer parts are all standard AR-15, so anything on the shelf at the gun shop fits. The SB Tactical SBA3 brace slides along the receiver extension and locks in position, letting a shooter set the length to their build and their gear. A polymer grip and a 30rd magazine round it out. The result is a compact 5.56 that shoots like a carbine, stores like a pistol and does not look like the ten other black ARs in the rack next to it.
