DPMS Panther Arms Kitty Kat Upper — 5.56 NATO, 7.5in

Description

The DPMS Panther Arms “Kitty Kat” upper pairs a short-profile nitride-treated barrel with a forged 7075-T6 A3 AR upper to deliver a compact, mil-spec-quality component for AR-style builds. It is chambered for 5.56 NATO with a 1:7 twist and uses an M4 barrel extension and pistol-length gas system for reduced overall length and quicker handling. The assembly includes a DPMS 6.5-inch Quad Rail free-float handguard, a .750″ low-profile gas block, and an A2 flash hider.
