Dark Storm Variant 1 Non‑NFA Firearm
The Dark Storm Variant 1 non‑NFA firearm, also known as an "other" offers high‑performance AR platform capability in a compact format ideal for tactical use, personal defense, and range versatility
Built on a precision matched billet receiver set, the Variant 1 features competition performance and combat reliability. The Tungsten Cerakote finish over the detail rich design by Ed Earle makes the Variant 1 stand out in a drown of boring black guns. The Variant 1 includes partial ambidextrous controls and a versatile 11.5" M‑Lok handguard for mounting a variety of accessories. The SOCOM profile 12.5" barrel minimizes overall length while maintaining reliability with a carbine length gas system. On the front end an expansion chamber based Competition Compensator nearly eliminates muzzle rise and felt recoil. The Variant 1 includes Hogue rubber over‑molded polymer pistol grip, Magpul MOE front vertical grip and an SB Tactical SBA brace for rock solid control in any conditions.
Every firearm is hand assembled and individually tested at our factory in Rockledge, Florida with All American Made Components and Materials
