Last year at TriggerCon, VKTR Industries introduced their new piston-driven VK1 AR-15 in rifle and pistol configurations. At this year’s GunCon 2024 at Brownells, they introduced their brand new VKTR Industries DI Bolt Carrier Group for Direct-Impingement AR-15 rifles and pistols. This new DI BCG features the same precision cam geometry as the VK-1 piston rifle’s BCG, the goal of which is to have a smoother operation and less contact inside the receiver during lockup and unlock of the bolt.
