Key Features

- Adjustable Iron Sights — Windage and elevation adjustments let you dial in your point of aim, making it easier to teach new shooters proper sight alignment.
- Bolt Hold-Open Notch on Safety Selector — This feature holds the bolt open after the last round, so you can quickly see an empty chamber during training or range sessions.
- 30-Round Magazine Included — One detachable steel magazine is included, giving you immediate capacity for range practice or home defense.
