Key features
- Heavy-profile 16.5-inch barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The extra mass reduces barrel whip and heat distortion, keeping your point of impact consistent through rapid fire strings.
- Threaded muzzle (1/2×28 TPI) – WHY IT MATTERS: Attach a suppressor or compensator without gunsmithing, making this rifle ready for quiet training or reduced recoil.
- M-LOK compatible forend – WHY IT MATTERS: Mount bipods, lights, or hand stops directly to the chassis without extra adapters, keeping the setup clean and low-profile.
- One-piece Picatinny rail – WHY IT MATTERS: Receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount any optic with 1913 interface and maintain zero.
- AR-compatible pistol grip and integral barricade stop – WHY IT MATTERS: Use your preferred AR grip for consistent ergonomics, and the barricade stop locks the rifle into cover for stable supported shots.
Who it’s for
This rifle is built for law enforcement and military personnel who need a reliable .22 LR trainer that mimics the weight and feel of a duty carbine. It also suits competitive rimfire shooters who want a chassis that accepts modern accessories without custom work.
