Key Features

AR-style Controls and Takedown

The rifle mimics AR controls and uses the same takedown process, complete with receiver takedown pins and a bolt carrier group for simple field strip and maintenance. This makes parts interchangeability and user training direct and efficient.

Free-float M-LOK Handguard & Magpul MOE Furniture

A flat-top upper and a free-float M-LOK handguard provide modularity for lights, lasers, or foregrips. This premium MOE SL package includes Magpul MBUS 2 flip-up iron sights, an SL pistol grip, M-LOK grip panels, and the MOE SL stock—familiar components that ease transition between platforms.

Performance & Applications

Chambered in .22 LR, the 15-22 excels for high-repetition training with low ammunition cost and minimal recoil, making it ideal for new shooters and seasoned operators practicing fundamentals. The .22 LR is not a long-range defensive cartridge, but in a well-placed, close-quarters context it offers quick follow-up shots and reduced over-penetration risk indoors.

Included Accessories & Customization

The rifle ships with one 25-round magazine and a 2-inch M-LOK Picatinny rail section for immediate accessory mounting. Compatibility with most AR-15 stocks, grips, and accessories lets owners tailor ergonomics and mission fit quickly.
