Key Features

• 16-inch stainless threaded barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Offers a balance of maneuverability and velocity for .350 Legend, with a standard 5/8×24 thread pattern for attaching muzzle devices or suppressors. The stainless construction resists corrosion better than standard carbon steel.
• Cerakote Tungsten finish — WHY IT MATTERS: Provides a tough, low-glare coating that stands up to rough handling, weather, and cleaning solvents. The Tungsten color gives a distinctive, professional look that won’t reflect light in the field.
• Billet aluminum receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: Machined from a solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum, the receiver is stronger and stiffer than forged alternatives, holding tighter tolerances for consistent accuracy and reliable function over thousands of rounds.
• .350 Legend chambering — WHY IT MATTERS: This straight-wall cartridge delivers deer-legal energy out to 250 yards with mild recoil, making it ideal for hunters in straight-wall states. It also feeds reliably from standard AR magazines with a simple bolt and barrel swap.
• 5-round detachable magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: Complies with capacity restrictions in several states while still allowing quick reloads. The included magazine is built to the same spec as standard AR-15 5.56 magazines, so replacements are widely available.

Who It’s For

This rifle suits the hunter who needs a straight-wall cartridge for states like Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, or Iowa. It also appeals to the traditional shooter who values a no-nonsense, billet-built AR that functions out of the box without tinkering. If you want a reliable .350 Legend that doesn’t sacrifice build quality for price, this is it.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Billet receiver is stiffer than forged; Cerakote finish holds up well; threaded barrel accepts standard muzzle devices; .350 Legend offers low recoil with good terminal performance; ships with a 5-round magazine for restricted states.

Cons: The 5-round magazine capacity may feel limiting for range use in unrestricted areas. The Tungsten finish, while durable, is not available in other color options from the factory. Stock trigger is mil-spec and could be upgraded for better feel.

FAQ

What magazines does the Great Lakes GL-15 .350 Legend use?

It uses standard AR-15 .350 Legend-specific magazines. The included 5-round magazine is designed to work with .350 Legend straight-wall cartridges. You can also use standard 5.56 magazines with a magazine adapter, but for best reliability, use .350 Legend-specific mags.

Is this rifle legal for deer hunting in straight-wall states?

Yes. The .350 Legend is legal in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, and other states that require straight-wall cartridges for deer hunting. The 16-inch barrel meets minimum length requirements, and the 5-round magazine complies with capacity limits in those states.

Does the barrel come with a muzzle device?

No. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 but does not include a muzzle brake, flash hider, or suppressor. You can add your own muzzle device or suppressor of choice. The threads are protected by a standard thread cap during shipping.

Can I use standard AR-15 parts on this rifle?

Yes. The GL-15 uses a standard AR-15 lower receiver and buffer tube, so grips, stocks, triggers, and other lower parts are interchangeable. The upper receiver is also mil-spec compatible for handguards and charging handles. The bolt carrier group is specific to .350 Legend due to the bolt face, but it uses the same carrier.
