Why this AR-15 package stands out

The combination of an Anderson lower and a BCA upper gives you factory-fit components that minimize wobble and alignment issues common with mismatched parts. The 16-inch barrel hits the legal and tactical sweet spot: good muzzle velocity for 5.56 NATO, compact enough for maneuverability, and compatible with most standard muzzle devices and suppressors where legal. Inclusion of a 30-round magazine and a dedicated range bag means you’re ready to train out of the box.

Field and training applications

Chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 REM, this rifle is well suited for marksmanship practice, defensive drills, and general-purpose range work. The cartridge offers flat trajectory and controllable follow-up shots, making it ideal for building solid fundamentals during live-fire drills.
