Bilson Arms BA-15FC Forward Charging AR-15 Pistol | .223 Wylde / 5.56 | American Made

American Craftsmanship. Innovative Engineering. Precision Manufacturing.

The Bilson Arms BA-15FC Forward Charging Pistol brings a distinctive approach to the traditional AR-15 platform. Proudly manufactured in Louisiana using 100% American-made parts and materials, the BA-15FC combines patented forward-charging technology, precision-machined billet aluminum receivers, and premium components in a compact, semi-automatic firearm.

Available in .223 Wylde and .300 Blackout, the BA-15FC features Bilson Arms' patented forward-charging system, offering an alternative to the traditional rear-charging AR configuration.

At the heart of the platform is a precision-machined billet aluminum receiver set engineered for a tight, zero-play fit between the upper and lower receivers. Bilson Arms backs its precision manufacturing with a 1 MOA accuracy guarantee, subject to manufacturer conditions.

Each BA-15FC features a barrel manufactured from 4150/4151 CrMoV steel, a free-floating M-LOK handguard, and a direct-impingement operating system. An SBA4 pistol brace is included and ships separately.

The BA-15FC is offered in several Cerakote finishes, including distinctive two-tone combinations and a complete Graphite Black configuration.
