Overview

Built by Great Lakes Firearms and listed under the Semi Auto category, this Mission rifle blends a 16″ barrel and .223 Wylde chamber to offer versatility across ammunition types. The rifle ships with a 30+1 capacity magazine-ready setup, a 15″ M‑Lok handguard for accessory mounting, a practical black carbine stock, and an A2 grip for familiar ergonomics. Priced at $720.99, it targets buyers who want an out-of-the-box defensive platform without heavy aftermarket work.

Features & Performance

Barrel, Chambering, and Accuracy

The .223 Wylde chamber is notable for allowing safe, accurate use of both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammo with tight freebore dimensions—this yields better long-range consistency than a straight .223 chamber while maintaining 5.56 compatibility. The 16″ barrel length balances muzzle velocity and maneuverability for close-quarters and rural defense scenarios.

Control & Ergonomics

The 15″ M-Lok handguard provides multiple mounting points without excess weight, and the muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. The black carbine stock and A2 grip keep the control interface simple and durable for high-stress handling.
