VKTR Industries VK-1 - Softest Shooting Factory AR-15 Ever Made?

ARBuildJunkie.com recently had the chance to visit VKTR Industries' David Rybacki to get an overview of the softest shooting AR-15 we've ever shot, the short-stroke piston-operated VKTR Industries VK-1.

Great video

Just picked mine up - I got the 13.7” in FDE. My first impression was how light it was. I haven’t shot it yet but hopefully real soon. This rifle looks and feels solid. I think we got a winner here folks.

Man I want one so bad

Just stumbled across you guys. I’m definitely a fan. I personally wanted to add more “non AR” rifle calibers to my arsenal but i may have to make an exception for you. End of the day, im thoroughly impressed and this company deserves more recognition

Love the innovation!

I prefer the original Stoner internal piston..I detest external pistons in the AR platform. That said, with the adjusted cam pin tract which is the only way to increase dwell time (not heavier buffers) your product looks like a well designed external piston..With the added modified LWRCI piston you may have a winner..I will be watching this new rifle very closely.Who knows, I may even decide to be a blasphemer and buy one..Good job!

I’m excited about this. I want to see some testing by the big boys

I'm a machinist/tool maker. If you get a quality robot and a good CNC mill or multi axis lathe and invest in good CAM software you got a recipe to make a million bucks. Most shops that make gun parts will also make parts for the auto or aerospace industries to increase their profits. Unfortunately making gun parts alone isn't enough to pay the bills so most people in the industry are really doing it because they're passionate about firearm technology. This guy sounds like he's really passionate.
Is there anyway to make a self regulating DI system?

Clean looking Rifle

[@litalai]

well, now I have to try one

[@cameron3525]

can you basically not clean them like AKs? With ARs you kinda got to run them wet where I live.

[@patriotgunner]

So the 13.7" is 1 or 2 ounces lighter than the 16" but the 10.5" is a full pound lighter than the 13.7". That math doesn't add up..

[@arlissyoung8899]

OK I glade you said that. I thought it was just me thinking that.

[@texasranger24]

@@arlissyoung8899 probably because they don't include a brace or stock, so you save a lot of weight there.
