Description
The Combat Armory CA-15 is a complete 5.56 NATO AR pistol that keeps things short, light, and simple. The whole build runs on mil-spec parts, so if you ever want to swap a trigger, add a charging handle, or run different internals, you're working with the same standard every shop in the country already stocks. Both the upper and lower are billet 7075-T6 aluminum finished in Type III hard-coat anodizing, which is the kind of foundation that holds up to real use without babying it.
What the CA-15 Pistol Brings to the Table
The 7.5" barrel is 4140 chrome moly vanadium steel with a Melonite finish inside and out. That treatment fights corrosion and stretches service life well past what you'd get from a plain phosphate barrel. It wears an M4 profile with M4 feed ramps cut into the extension, a pistol-length gas system under a .750 low-profile gas block, and a 1:7 twist that stabilizes everything from light varmint loads up through heavier match bullets. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 and comes wearing an A2 flash hider, so adding a different brake, comp, or suppressor mount is a quick job with no adapter needed.
Handling and Setup on the CA-15
Up top sits a 7" slim free-float M-LOK handguard that keeps the barrel floated for better consistency while giving you clean real estate for a light, hand stop, or sling mount right where your support hand lives. The slim profile means it doesn't bulk up in the grip. Standard mil-spec furniture rounds it out: forward assist, dust cover, mil-spec charging handle, and a pistol buffer tube that's ready for whatever setup you want to hang off the back.
At right around 6.9 pounds, the CA-15 is an easy-handling compact 5.56 that's right at home for close-quarters work, truck duty, or just a fun range blaster you can build out your own way. It arrives as a complete pistol with one 30-round magazine, so you can get rolling the day it lands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the barrel on the CA-15 pistol threaded?
Yes. The 7.5" barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard pattern for 5.56. It ships with an A2 flash hider installed, so you can run that as-is or swap in a different muzzle device or suppressor mount without needing an adapter.
What kind of handguard comes on the Combat Armory CA-15?
It has a 7" slim free-float M-LOK handguard. The free-float design keeps the rail from touching the barrel for more consistent results, and the M-LOK slots let you add a light, hand stop, or sling mount where it works best for you. The slim profile keeps it comfortable in the support hand.
Does the CA-15 pistol use mil-spec parts?
It does. The charging handle, fire control group, safety, forward assist, and dust cover are all mil-spec, and both receivers are billet 7075-T6 aluminum. That means parts and upgrades follow the same standard as most other AR-15s, so finding compatible components is easy.
What twist rate is the CA-15 barrel and what ammo does it handle?
The barrel has a 1:7 twist, which is a versatile choice for a 5.56. It stabilizes a wide range of loads, from lighter varmint-weight bullets up through heavier match bullets around 77 grains. Combined with the M4 feed ramps, it feeds reliably across most common ammo.
