The 5.56 Billet Beast®
The 5.56 Billet Beast® is a slick, reliable nickel boron-coated AR rifle with a 16-inch barrel that arrives ready to deliver unmatched performance and sub-MOA accuracy.
We built this short AR-15 on a set of aircraft-grade 7075 billet aluminum receivers and gave its critical parts — inside and out — our proprietary NiB-X® coating as a finish. The result is a compact AR-15 rifle that shrugs off carbon buildup, friction and the elements while turning heads and outperforming the competition.
Why Is a Nickel Boron AR Better?
Nickel boron is 40% harder than chrome and incredibly resistant to corrosion and buildup — two of the primary causes of problems with firearm function. The AR platform is particularly vulnerable to carbon buildup due to its gas-powered design, so an AR-15 with nickel boron parts has an inherent advantage over other builds.
The Billet Beast® has a NiB-X® coating on its receivers, handguard and small parts to take full advantage of nickel boron’s capabilities. This coating isn’t just hard — it’s incredibly slick. That natural lubricity lets the gun continue to function reliably much longer than lesser builds and makes cleaning a simple matter of wiping carbon away with a rag.
WMD Guns specializes in industry-leading nickel boron coatings because we were part of the team that pioneered their application to guns and their components. Exceptional coatings like NiB-X® are our thing, and it’s why every formula and every firearm we put it on excels in the field.
Features of the 5.56 Billet Beast® Rifle
With its bright satin nickel finish, the aesthetic appeal of the Billet Beast® is undeniable — and it has the function to back up the flash. The coated billet receivers are matched with a 15-inch NiB-X® M-LOK® handguard closely fit to a match-grade, hammer-forged 16-inch barrel. A satin nickel muzzle brake punctuates the barrel for recoil control.
On the inside, the Billet Beast® contains a polished nickel boron bolt carrier group and our enhanced NiB-X® fire control group for extreme reliability. The other small parts are finished in black nitride to match a high-performance adjustable stock and a comfortable Ergo grip.
The Billet Beast® will arrive kitted out with one 30-round NiB-X® magazine and a tactical bag. In our testing, it went straight to the range and delivered tight groups with off-the-shelf ammunition:
- Federal 69gr Match Kings = .75 MOA at 200 yards
- Hornady 55gr FMJBT = 1.25 MOA at 100 yards
- Federal American Eagle 55 gr FMJBT = .50 MOA at 100 yards
