Built on the AR-15 platform and chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, the Mod. K-3 uses a semi-automatic, direct impingement system with a 16-inch barrel. The barrel is threaded and fitted with an A2-style flash hider and crush washer. It feeds from standard STANAG-pattern magazines and is rated at 30+1 capacity. Controls include a manual safety with SAFE/FIRE markings and a standard magazine release.
The upper includes a forward assist and an ejection-port dust cover. Up front, a low-profile gas block sits under a free-float aluminum M-LOK handguard that measures about 15 inches and provides a continuous 12 o’clock Picatinny rail. This top rail carries the included open reflex red dot sight and the flip-up backup iron sights.
Ergonomics are modern and practical, with a Magpul MOE carbine 6-position stock and a UTG rubberized finger-groove pistol grip. A right-side bolt-catch extension lever is installed to facilitate bolt control from the trigger side. The rifle’s receiver set is aluminum and finished with clearly applied manufacturer and model markings.
Markings include “Kulas Customs LLC, St. Petersburg, FL” on the receiver and the model designation “Mod. K-3.” The setup balances a lightweight upper receiver with forward assist and a long free-float rail with ready-to-use sighting options: the mounted red/green reflex optic and a matched set of flip-up irons.
