• Gas Manipulation: The Gen 6 core is engineered for gas recirculation, slowing down gases below the speed of sound before they exit the muzzle, significantly reducing noise.

• Accuracy-Driven Design: Designed as a "monocore" over-barrel system which maintains rifle balance and minimises point-of-impact shift, crucial for consistent accuracy.

• Durable Materials: Constructed from high-grade aircraft aluminium and stainless steel components for a balance of durability and low weight, ideal for rugged outdoor use.
