WMD AR-15 Forged CHASSIS® in Distressed NiB-X® Finish

Every shooter has different ergonomic needs and style preferences. The AR platform is ideal for letting each individual create a firearm perfectly suited to their needs by virtue of its broad parts availability and ease of making changes.

The WMD Guns CHASSIS selection provides an AR-15 with no stock or grip to take that customizability even further. This model presents a kitted-out receiver set coated in battleworn nickel boron for longevity, a ceramic-coated barrel, and a BCG and FCG treated with our NiB-X® finish — all you need to complete this nickeled AR-15 chassis is the stock, grip and handguard of your choice. 

Advantages of a Battleworn Nickel AR-15 Finish

WMD Guns was part of the team that developed nickel boron as a firearm coating, so we know our way around creating a world-class finish. Our NiB-X® coating outperforms even hard chrome by resisting heat, wear and fouling, making it perfect for applications in firearms that see heavy use. 

In government evaluation, this sleek finish stood up to a 30,000-round torture test with no chipping, flaking or thinning, so it’s ready for anything you throw at it. NiB-X® protects your gun inside and out by providing lubricity for continuous function, defense against rust and corrosion, and easy removal of carbon fouling. 

This AR-15 CHASSIS comes in nickel boron with a distressed, battleworn appearance that makes it look every bit as rugged as it is. We use a specialized scuffing treatment to give it the look of a time-tested and proven weapon without compromising the exceptional protection of a NiB-X® finish. 

What You Get With a Nickel Boron Beast® CHASSIS

This distressed nickel CHASSIS starts with a set of forged 7075 aluminum receivers finished in NiB-X® inside and out. M4 feed ramps are cut into the upper. The barrel is a 16-inch M4 profile for maneuverability, featuring a low-profile carbine-length gas system and a 1:7 twist to stabilize projectiles weighing up to 90 grains. This match-grade barrel receives a nitride finish and a flat dark earth ceramic topcoat for longevity. 

On the inside, this CHASSIS comes ready with one of our nickel boron bolt carrier groups for superb reliability, plus an upgraded military fire control group. With these sets, we coat the hammer, sear and disconnector in NiB-X® to deliver a minimal-friction pull and smooth reset. A complementing charging handle and all small parts are included as well. 

At the rear, you’ll find a carbine buffer system and a NiB-X® coated six-position Mil-Spec receiver extension. This battleworn nickel AR rifle comes optics-ready and needs only the furniture of your choice and a few magazines to be prepared to hit the range.
