Key features that matter

Barrel and finish

The rifle uses an 18.5″ cold-hammer-forged barrel with a satin black finish, which contributes to consistent accuracy and long-term durability compared with non-forged alternatives. Cold-hammer forging helps maintain uniform bore dimensions and can improve barrel life for high-round-count users.

Stock and ergonomics

The green “Gator” laminate stock with alligator engraving is not only a visual differentiator but also provides stability and resistance to warping versus plain wood. Laminate stocks hold sights and optics zero better over changing environmental conditions.
