- 15″ M-LOK Handguard — Lets you mount lights, grips, or bipods exactly where you need them for a custom fit.
- 1-in-8 Twist Rate Barrel — Stabilizes both light .223 varmint loads and heavier 5.56 rounds, so one rifle does it all.

- 1/2×28 Threaded Muzzle — Easy to add a suppressor or muzzle brake without special adapters.
Who It’s For
This rifle is a great choice for families learning to shoot together. The 16″ barrel keeps the overall length manageable for smaller shooters, and the M-LOK handguard lets you add a foregrip for better control. It’s also solid for home defense or hitting steel targets on the weekend.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Billet receiver is stronger than forged, giving you a tight fit and long life.
- Pro: Cerakote finish stands up to sweat, rain, and rough handling.
- Con: The handguard is 15″ — some shooters prefer a shorter rail for a lighter feel, but this gives more mounting space.
