Overview
Built on the M5 AR-10 platform, this semi-automatic rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester and set up with an 18.5-inch barrel, making it a practical choice for hunters and shooters who want a full-power rifle for range work or field use. It comes in matte black and includes an aftermarket CMC trigger along with a cookie cutter comp, while the matched forged upper and lower receiver set provide the foundation for the build. The rifle shows light exterior wear, including minor range marks, so it is best suited to someone who values a ready-to-use firearm over a pristine collector piece. No original case is included.

- No original case is included, so storage and transport will require your own solution.
- The rifle shows light exterior wear and minor range marks, which may matter to buyers seeking a pristine example.
- It is a semi-automatic .308 Winchester rifle, so it is built around a larger cartridge and platform than lighter AR-style options.
- An aftermarket CMC trigger is already installed, which may be a plus for some buyers but reduces the appeal of a fully original configuration.
