Key Features

  • Two-Stage Match Trigger – Why it matters: This trigger breaks cleanly at 4.5 pounds, giving you a crisp, predictable pull that improves accuracy without the heavy creep of a standard mil-spec trigger.
  • 16″ Chrome-Moly Barrel with A2 Flash Hider – Why it matters: Chrome-moly steel resists heat and wear, and the A2 flash hider reduces muzzle signature. This barrel is threaded 5/8×24, making it suppressor-ready out of the box.
  • R4 Handguard with Full-Length Picatinny Top – Why it matters: The free-float R4 handguard provides a rigid mounting surface for lights, lasers, and vertical grips, and the railed gas block gives you a fixed front sight base or additional rail space.
  • Overmolded A2 Grip – Why it matters: The rubber overmold on the A2 profile adds a positive, non-slip texture even with wet or gloved hands, without changing the classic grip angle you’re used to.
  • Tactical Carbine Stock – Why it matters: This six-position collapsible stock lets you adjust length of pull for different body sizes or heavy clothing, and it locks up tight with no wobble.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a .300 Blackout carbine that’s ready to hunt subsonic loads or defensive rounds without a ton of aftermarket tinkering. It suits the traditionalist who values a two-stage trigger, a railed gas block, and a stock that just works. If you’re looking for a reliable, mid-weight AR that’s set up for optics and a suppressor, this is a strong candidate.

Pros & Cons

  • Pro: Factory two-stage match trigger is a $150+ upgrade included at no extra cost.
  • Pro: Railed gas block gives you a fixed front sight base and extra rail space for a backup sight or laser.
  • Pro: The 1:8 twist barrel stabilizes both 110-grain supersonic and 220-grain subsonic loads well.
  • Con: The R4 handguard is aluminum and can get warm after sustained fire; you’ll want rail covers or gloves for extended shooting sessions.

Is this rifle suppressor-ready?

Does the railed gas block accept standard AR-15 front sights?
