The composite carbon-fiber–reinforced polymer upper and lower receivers keep weight down and resist the elements while retaining AR-pattern functionality. An integral trigger guard is molded into the lower for a clean, snag-resistant profile.
A full-length raised Picatinny top rail runs the length of the receiver, carrying fixed sights: a ghost-ring aperture at the rear and a blade at the front. The barrel is enclosed by a full-length ribbed tubular shroud that provides protection and a consistent gripping surface.
The P97S uses a gas-operated, direct-impingement system and a semi-automatic action with a manual safety. The AR-15 pistol receiver extension includes a foam sleeve and sling ring for practical handling.
Barrel configuration includes a 7.5" threaded tube capped with a birdcage/ported muzzle device. In keeping with the Carbon-15 series design, the upper omits a forward assist and ejection port cover for a simplified exterior. The pistol bears the Ilion, NY rollmark and is made in the United States.
This sale is for the pistol only; no magazine is included.
