The DPMS Firearms 5.56 10.5 FSB CAR Brace Pistol with A2 Carry Handle is a short-barreled modern sporting rifle built on proven mil-spec components and designed for shooters who want a compact, maneuverable platform without sacrificing reliability. Built around a 10.5-inch chrome moly vanadium barrel with a 1-in-7 twist, this 5.56 NATO chambered pistol pairs DPMS's commitment to US manufacturing with genuine mil-spec construction—including a forged 7075-T6 A3 upper, full-auto profile bolt carrier group, and a quality 7075-T6 lower receiver. Whether you're running it at the range, setting up a home-defense rig, or just want a compact short-barrel rifle platform, this DPMS delivers the handling characteristics and accuracy potential of a purpose-built carbine in a more compact footprint.
The upper receiver is forged to MIL-SPEC dimensions, hard coat anodized, and includes forward assist and dust cover—the stuff that matters when you're counting on your rifle. The barrel is finished with an F-marked front sight base gas block and A2 flash hider, keeping the classic fighting-rifle aesthetic while managing muzzle signature. The carbine-length gas system ensures reliable cycling with a variety of ammunition loads, and the shot-peened Carpenter No. 158 steel bolt is hardened to USGI specifications with Grade 8 screws and mil-spec staking. Down low, you get a DPMS single-stage mil-spec fire control group and a 6-position mil-spec buffer tube paired with a DPMS CAR style adjustable blade brace, giving you flexibility in how you configure it for your use. The detachable A2 carry handle is included, so you've got backup sighting and a solid carry point right out of the box.
This is the kind of rifle that appeals to shooters who understand what mil-spec really means—not marketing hype, but genuine military-grade materials and manufacturing standards. The 10.5-inch barrel strikes a balance between velocity and manageability, making it a natural fit for precision shooting at intermediate ranges while remaining nimble enough for dynamic shooting or close-quarters scenarios. With a DPMS-built platform and US manufacturing throughout the critical components, you know what you're getting.

The DPMS Firearms 5.56 10.5 FSB CAR Brace Pistol comes with a detachable A2 carry handle, giving you both backup iron sights and a solid carry point out of the box.
This is configured as a pistol platform with a DPMS CAR style adjustable blade brace and no permanent stock. Configuration and legal classification depend on your local and federal regulations—always verify compliance before use.
The 10.5-inch barrel with a 1-in-7 twist is optimized for 5.56 NATO. This is a short-barreled setup; velocity and effective range will be reduced compared to rifle-length barrels, but it's a capable platform for intermediate-distance shooting and higher-velocity round selection.
The gas block is an F-marked front sight base, which is the standard USGI configuration. The detachable A2 carry handle provides backup sights that are not integrated into the handguard.
