For shooters who demand a blend of range accuracy and defensive capability, a well-built semi-auto platform that shows attention to condition and serviceability is critical. This review examines a used but well-maintained example that balances performance and value with a clear inventory description for responsible buyers.

WILSON COMBAT COMBAT RECON arrives described in excellent condition: the frame is reported blemish-free while the barrel shows some discoloration on the front end that “needs some oil to make it all shiny again.” Chambered for both 223 and 5.56, it ships with one magazine and is listed at $2,300.99 (SKU: 24060010BOX: X2/2X).

Build quality and condition notes

Wilson Combat has a reputation for precision machining and fitment. This Recon example follows that pedigree: a blemish-free frame indicates careful handling and the potential for long service life. The noted barrel discoloration is cosmetic and commonly the result of heat cycling or storage; a light cleaning and lubrication should restore luster without affecting function. The listing explicitly advises buyers to perform their own due diligence before purchase, a responsible reminder when evaluating used defense gear.

Caliber considerations: 223 and 5.56

The dual-chamber specification—223 / 5.56—makes the Recon versatile. 5.56 NATO offers slightly higher pressure and common compatibility for defensive and training ammunition, while .223 Remington often yields marginally tighter accuracy in some barrels. For most users, having a platform that supports both rounds provides flexibility for range training, duty use, or personal defense, provided you observe proper ammunition compatibility and headspace considerations.

Accessories and what’s included

This rifle comes with one magazine—adequate for evaluation and initial use but plan to add quality magazines for redundancy.
