Detailed Features 

 
The 1-in-7" twist rate stabilizes heavier 5.56/.223 bullet weights well, including 62-grain and 77-grain projectiles. The threaded barrel accepts standard 1/2"-28 muzzle devices, so swapping the A2 flash hider for a brake or suppressor is straightforward. The Thril Combat Competitive stock provides the adjustable positions expected of a milspec buffer tube setup. 
 
The A2 flash hider reduces visible muzzle flash during rapid fire. Standard trigger and grip make this a clean platform for those who plan to add their own preferred components.
