What sets this model apart

Barrel and accuracy: The 24″ 416R stainless steel barrel with 5R rifling is geared toward consistency at extended defensive ranges. The 5R rifling helps reduce bullet deformation and fouling, improving precision when it matters.

Recoil management and gas system: A 5/8 x 24 stainless steel muzzle brake reduces felt recoil, paired with a rifle-length gas system and a .750 4150 steel gas block with black oxide coat for reliable cycling across loads.

High-quality chassis and controls

Upper and lower receivers are machined from 7075 billet aluminum for strength and fit. The 20″ aluminum M-LOK handguard with an upper Picatinny rail supports optics and attachments, while the Hogue fixed rifle stock in black offers a stable shooting platform.

Operational parts: The package includes a custom GLFA five-round aluminum magazine, a custom-designed BCG and charging handle, plus AR-10 compatible lower parts kits, trigger, and safety for aftermarket flexibility.
