Design and features that matter

The M4-22 ELITE – GOA uses aluminum upper and lower receivers and a full-length top Picatinny rail, giving you the exact mounting and handling experience of an AR. Key features include a 12″ aluminum free-float M-LOK handguard, 16″ 4150 solid steel barrel, nickel-plated bolt, and a 25-round magazine — all wrapped into a package that accepts most AR15 stocks, handguards, and sights.

Controls and ergonomics

This rifle includes a functional forward assist, bolt catch, charging handle, ejection port cover, and a 2-position receiver-mounted safety lever. The Gen2 grip, adjustable stock, and ambidextrous sling adapter plate reinforce how closely this rimfire mirrors centerfire handling. The 4 1/2 pound trigger pull and mil-spec fire control group allow drop-in trigger assemblies for fine-tuning.

Performance and applications

Chambered in .22 LR, the M4-22 ELITE – GOA provides low-cost, low-recoil training that directly translates to AR platform skills. The 16″ 4150 barrel and 1/2 x 28 threaded A2 birdcage make suppressor-compatibility and aftermarket muzzle options straightforward. Use it for competitive rimfire matches, dry-fire progression, or extended range sessions without the expense of centerfire ammunition.
