Overview
Built as a base configuration rifle, this model is set up for shooters who want straightforward handling with fully ambidextrous controls. The bolt catch and release lever, along with the magazine release, can be operated from either side while keeping a firm grip on the rifle, which supports efficient manipulation during duty or recreational use. It also includes an ALG ACT trigger, a MIL-SPEC 5.56mm barrel, and an A2 style flash hider, with the option to be built with a suppressor-specific muzzle device. The A2 flash hider is not recommended as a suppressor mounting solution because it is installed with crush washers and may not be concentric to the bore.

- The included A2 style flash hider is not recommended as a suppressor mounting device, and the description notes it may not be concentric to the bore when installed with crush washers.
- The product is described as brand new but listed as used because there is no set UPC, which may matter for buyers who prefer standard new-item cataloging.
