Each T1K rifle is meticulously hand-built by Ben Winner, the founder of Tier 1 Kinetics.
Ben’s journey began in 2007 as a mechanical engineering intern for a company specializing in rapid prototyping, precision machining, and production tooling. He simultaneously pursued his college education, built his own experimental aircraft, and commissioned as an Army Officer in 2009. From 2011 to 2017, Ben served as a UH-60M Blackhawk pilot, flying air assault missions in Afghanistan and rising to the rank of Captain.
After leaving the Army, Ben became a defense contractor and MQ9 Reaper pilot in Iraq under the Big Safari program through AFSOC. In 2018, he collaborated with his former engineering firm on the development of the first magnesium billet AR10 design for Roam Rifles, marking a milestone in firearms innovation. During this time, Tier 1 Kinetics was founded, blending Ben’s engineering expertise with his military experience.
Since 2019, Tier 1 Kinetics has specialized in custom-built, mission-specific AR-15 platforms tailored for veterans, armed professionals, and discerning collectors. Each rifle is a testament to craftsmanship, precision, and a commitment to excellence—crafted by the same hands that flew SEAL teams, OGAs, ans Special Forces on no-fail missions in Afghanistan.
The T1K 556 CQB represents the pinnacle of six years of rigorous testing, networking, and refinement. Built with the same care and precision Ben applies as an airline captain, this rifle exemplifies reliability, accuracy, and durability.
"Aesthetics are a byproduct of performance" — these rifles are striking not for their appearance alone but because every component is hand-selected, tested, and assembled with unwavering dedication to quality and detail.
The first 15 rifles are offered at an introductory price (discount code provided by one of our reps - yes you have to know someone that knows someone), with delivery by January 31, 2025. Subsequent orders will be on backorder with an estimated delivery date of June 1, 2025 for the first 100 units, and will be tentatively capped at a total volume of 250 units. Each one is a purpose built, hand crafted heirloom that will be in the family for generations.
