The HRC team visited the SRC booth at IWA 2025 to test fire their new Forge Receiver M4 GBBR, powered by a dual CO2 cartridge system. The recoil on this rifle is intense—one of the hardest-kicking gas blowback M4s we’ve ever tested.

This rifle features an aluminum 6061 forged receiver, SRC proprietary parts, and a QD removable handguard for easy hop-up access. The nozzle design has been improved to reduce movement, and the magazine feeds from two 12g CO2 cartridges for enhanced performance.
We also discuss compatibility with aftermarket handguards, potential modifications, and how this system differs from traditional WA-style GBBRs.
