Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Killer Innovations' Glock barrels stand out?

Killer Innovations focuses on accuracy through a proprietary manufacturing process using a single machine to ensure tight tolerances and eliminate human error. They employ single-point cut rifling, considered the most accurate method, for superior performance over standard button or broach cutting techniques.

What are the key features of the Orias rifle chassis?

The Orias chassis is constructed from lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum and features a unique self-aligning recoil lug that eliminates the need for traditional bedding. It also includes a quick-detach accessory rail designed for precise return-to-zero with optics.

What materials are used in the Orias chassis and why?

The Orias chassis is made from 7075-T6 aluminum. This high-strength alloy allows for thinner walls, resulting in a lighter overall weight (2 lbs 1 oz) while maintaining robust structural integrity and durability.

What upcoming products did Killer Innovations showcase?

Killer Innovations previewed prototype pistol accessories including a flat-faced Glock trigger assembly, a low-profile magwell flare, and a matching baseplate. These were expected to be released within three months of the video's production.
