The Geissele Freedom Weapon GFW 5.56mm 8" Black SBR (NFA) - 08-472B delivers Super Duty-level performance in an ultra-compact, highly maneuverable package optimized for confined environments and personal defense. Its innovative dual-telescoping stock deploys instantly with a simple pull, offering two solid lock positions and full access to all controls even when collapsed. Tuned around the patented Geissele Phased Array® gas system, Tri-Port™ technology and an 8" cold-hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel, the GFW provides exceptional reliability, controllability, and remarkably smooth recoil for its size. Premium Super Duty components—including the SSA X® trigger, MK16 rail, Airborne Charging Handle, Maritime Bolt Catch, and A17 grip—ensure duty-grade performance in a weapon that stows small but runs hard. Protected with Geissele Nanoweapon® coating, originally developed as Picatinny DSL by ARDEC and refined exclusively by Geissele Automatics, the GFW's critical components achieve unmatched corrosion and wear resistance with a diamond-like surface hardness that shrugs off carbon and minimizes lubrication needs. Paired with the included HUXWRX Flash Hider - QD 5.56 for suppressor compatibility, the GFW stands as a serious-use defensive platform in a remarkably compact form factor.
