Low-cost but high-value, Anderson's Utility series is designed to be an entry-level AR-15 that brings all reliability and ruggedness of a mil-spec rifle combined with the modularity of modern commercial rifles in an affordable package. The Utility rifle features a standard, do-it-all configuration with a full-length 15-inch, lightweight-profile M-LOK handguard to accommodate a wide variety of attachments and configurations. This is combined with a 16-inch, 1:8-twist barrel chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO designed to reliably feed and accurately shoot most types of 5.56 and .223 ammunition available on the market. Reliability is also maximized with the inclusion of a sturdy, M16-profile bolt carrier that is paired with a carbine-length gas system to ensure that the rifle will run regardless of the weather or round count. The MOE model features Magpul's MOE pistol grip and buttstock and Anderson's stainless lower parts kit and trigger unit. One 30-round ASC magazine is included.
