DPMS Panther Arms Kitty Kat 5.56 NATO 7.5″ AR Pistol Upper – Black Nitride Barrel with Quad Rail Handguard

Build your next AR pistol on a solid mil-spec foundation with the DPMS Panther Arms Kitty Kat Upper Assembly. Chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 7.5″ black nitride barrel, this compact upper is engineered for reliability and performance in a pistol-length platform.

**Barrel & Gas System**
The 7.5″ barrel features a 1:7 twist rate, M4 barrel extension, and a pistol-length gas system optimized for short-barrel setups. The black nitride finish provides superior corrosion resistance and a hard, slick surface that promotes consistent cycling and easy maintenance. A low-profile .750″ diameter gas block keeps your sight plane clean, while the A2 flash hider helps manage muzzle blast.

**Handguard**
A DPMS 6.5″ free-float quad rail handguard surrounds the barrel, offering full 360° Picatinny rail real estate for lights, lasers, grips, and accessories — all while free-floating the barrel to preserve accuracy potential.

**Upper Receiver**
The forged 7075-T6 A3 AR upper receiver is manufactured to MIL-SPEC standards and finished with a hard coat anodized black surface for long-lasting durability. Proudly made in the USA by a mil-spec manufacturer.

**Bolt Carrier Group**
The BCG features a mil-spec shot-peened Carpenter 158 steel bolt for proven toughness. The gas key is secured with Grade 8 fasteners and properly staked per mil-spec. The bolt carrier is Parkerized on the exterior and chrome-lined on the interior for smooth, reliable operation.
