A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft assigned to the 18th Aggressor Squadron takes off from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Oct. 6, 2014, during RED FLAG-Alaska 15-1. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. and partner nation forces, providing combined offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.

At this years SHOT Show, Vltor slid in a new lower receiver along with a new line of Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs).  Taking a look at the new Vltor lower, the most obvious alteration is a much larger magazine release catch.  The receiver end plate also comes with QD mounting points. Everything else is pretty straight forward and typical AR15/ M16.

Vltor is the Roman spelling for “Avenger”, which is the term commonly used for the “God of War”.  I’m not sure if the Vltor lower receiver will bring you up to God of War status, but it is a good looking lower, and the engraving of the avenging sword on the side is going to win you style points.
