Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPODG AR-15 Pistol 223 Wylde 30+1 7.50″ Stainless Barrel, OD Green Rec, 7″ M-LOK Handguard, Buffer Tube (No Brace), Black A2 Grip

The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPODG AR-15 Pistol in 223 Wylde chambers a 7.50-inch stainless barrel, packs 30+1 rounds, and wears an OD Green receiver with a 7-inch M-LOK handguard. It ships with a buffer tube (no brace) and a black A2 grip. This is a straight-shooting, affordable Michigan-made pistol that customers call a tack driver.

Specifications

Key Features

• 7.50-inch stainless barrel – Why it matters: the 223 Wylde chamber handles both 223 Rem and 5.56 NATO with better accuracy than a standard 5.56 chamber, and stainless steel resists corrosion on wet ranch mornings.
• 7-inch M-LOK handguard – Why it matters: lets you mount lights, grips, or a bipod without adding bulk, and the free-float design keeps your barrel harmonics clean for consistent shots.
• OD Green receiver – Why it matters: blends into brush and pasture cover, and the anodized finish holds up against scratches from truck beds and tack room shelves.
• 30+1 capacity – Why it matters: 30 rounds of 223 Wylde on tap means fewer reloads when you’re working the fence line or dealing with varmints.
• Buffer tube (no brace) – Why it matters: gives you the option to add your own brace or stock (if you SBR it), keeping the base price low and the build flexible.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for ranchers, rural workers, and utility buyers who need a compact, accurate AR that can handle farm chores, predator control, and range plinking without breaking the bank. If you want a truck gun that rides behind the seat and shoots straight, this is your tool.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Tack-driving accuracy from a 7.5-inch stainless barrel – customers report sub-MOA groups with good ammo.
• Pro: Affordable price point – under $700 for a Michigan-made pistol with a 30-round mag.
• Pro: Versatile chamber – 223 Wylde lets you shoot cheap 223 or hot 5.56 without worrying about pressure.
• Con: No brace included – you’ll need to buy one separately or go the SBR route if you want a cheek weld.
• Con: Short barrel means more muzzle blast and flash – not ideal for indoor ranges or tight quarters without a can.
