Detailed Features
The bullpup configuration gives this rifle a 26.125-inch total length while keeping a 16.5-inch barrel, which is a meaningful size advantage in situations where maneuverability matters. The barrel is chrome-lined cold hammer-forged steel for durability and consistent accuracy under sustained use.
This model ships without iron sights and is set up for optics from the factory. The flat-top receiver accepts standard optics mounts. The OD green polymer receiver, stock, and grip keep weight at 7.9 lbs unloaded. Controls can be reconfigured for left-hand use with a parts swap.
Usage Scenarios
At 26.125 inches, this is one of the more compact 5.56 rifles available with a standard-length barrel, which makes it practical for home defense, vehicle storage, or anywhere a shorter profile matters. The 30-round capacity and optics-ready setup work well for competitive shooting. The construction handles range use and field conditions without issue.
