AR-15 Pistol – 5.56x45mm

You’re looking at a compact AR-15 pistol, chambered in 5.56x45mm/.223 Remington. These are popular with Alaskans for a few reasons: they’re easy to handle while working around a cabin or boat, they’re quick to deploy for home defense, and they’re a fun platform for shooting at the range. A shorter barrel makes it lighter and easier to maneuver in tight spaces—something you appreciate when you’re navigating brush or limited room inside a building.

What this pistol offers

This pistol features a 7.5-inch barrel and a durable black finish. It ships with a 60-round magazine, giving you extended capacity. The handguard is M-Lok compatible, meaning you can easily attach accessories like lights, vertical grips, or a bi-pod without needing specialized tools. It’s designed to accept standard AR-15 parts and accessories, which is helpful for customization down the road.
