Pantheon Arms DOLOS AR-15 Takedown Kit
Pantheon Arms DOLOS AR-15 Takedown Kit
Quick change barrel systems for AR-15’s are nothing new. I enjoy the ingenuity and engineering that goes into most them.Today’s entry is the Pantheon Arms DOLOS AR-15 Takedown Kit. The DOLOS is one of the most interesting approaches I have seen to date. Basically once an AR upper and barrel are configured for the takedown kit its a matter of pushing a button and rotating the handguard. (Watch the video at the bottom of the page to see the Pantheon DOLOS takedown kit in action.) What I like most about this AR-15 Take-down kit is it’s ability to use non proprietary handguards from quite a few manufacturers listed below.
Extra lock down collars are available to add additional barrels to an upper.
Note – Bolts should not be used with more than one barrel. Get an AR-15 bolt for each barrel you plan on using.
Pantheon Arms Dolos Take-Down System
The DOLOS Takedown Kit allows for quick separation of the handguard & barrel from the upper receiver, resulting in an extremely compact & convenient package. Kits simply attaches to your per-existing AR-15 barrel and is compatible with standard YHM free float handguards (Diamond, Tactical, etc). System works with standard AR-15 gas tubes and gas blocks. Once installed, user simply has to retract the bolt, insert the handguard, barrel & kit onto the upper receiver, turn the system 1/3 of a turn and you have an assembled upper receiver. Kit works great in conjunction with a LAW Tactical Folder for an extremely compact disassembled firearm.
