BROWNING NV

B-DD
Browning NVB-DD is a great new product from Browning that is designed to make AR-15 style rifles more accurate and reliable. The NVB-DD is a drop-in upgrade for most AR-15 style rifles and is designed to improve accuracy and overall performance. The product is a direct replacement for the Mil-Spec gas-block and includes a precision-machined barrel extension. This extension, along with an adjustable gas-block, allows the shooter to adjust the back pressure of the gas-block in order to increase accuracy.
The NVB-DD features a new trigger group that includes an adjustable trigger pull that can be adjusted from 4 lbs to 6 lbs. This trigger is much more user friendly than most stock AR-15 trigger groups and is designed for precise accuracy. The trigger group also comes with a forward assist and dust cover. The forward assist helps the user to reliably load the round into the chamber and the dust cover helps to keep dirt and debris out of the gun. The NVB-DD also includes a free-floating modular handguard that is made from a lightweight yet durable aluminum material.
The NVB-DD is exceptionally accurate. I have experienced very little to no felt recoil when shooting this gun, which makes for a very enjoyable shooting experience. It is incredibly easy to fire off several consecutive shots without having to re-adjust your stance or form. This barrel extension also gives you more consistent accuracy over different distances. The barrel extension also comes with a dimple for optics that allows you to re-zero your rifle without removing the entire extension.
The NVB-DD also includes an adjustable gas-block to help regulate the amount of back-pressure from the AR-15’s gas system. This allows you to fine-tune the pressures for a smoother transition from round to round in semi-automatic firearms. The adjustable gas-block also helps you to reduce the amount of felt recoil and allows you to accurately fire multiple shots in a short amount of time without having to re-adjust your stance or form.
Overall, the Browning NVB-DD is an excellent upgrade for the AR-15 platform. It is incredibly accurate, and the adjustable gas-block adds a great deal of versatility for the user. The modular handguard looks great, and the trigger group is a huge improvement over most stock AR-15 triggers. The NVB-DD may be a bit pricey, but it offers an incredible upgrade in accuracy, reliability, and performance.
