This beautiful rifle from the Midwest is the perfect solution for those seeking an affordable AR that doesn't compromise on quality. Chambered in the hard-hitting 450 Bushmaster, these Great Lakes Firearms AR rifles are built with an 18 inches barrel available in either a stunning 416R stainless steel or an ultra-smooth 4150 CRMOV Black Nitride finish, both featuring a 1:24 twist for enhanced stability and accuracy. The heavy barrel is complemented by a mid-length gas system with a 0.750 gas block, ensuring reliable cycling and performance. Threaded at 9/16-24 and fitted with a ported compensator, this rifle is designed to reduce recoil and keep you on target. The barrel is surrounded by a 15-1/4 inches 6061 aluminum M-LOK handguard with a full-length picatinny rail, providing ample space for mounting optics, lights and other accessories. Despite its robust construction, including a 7075 oversized upper receiver, this rifle is impressively lightweight at only 6.4 lb, making it easy-to handle in the field or at the range. Reliable, durable and designed with attention to detail, this rifle fills the need for an affordable AR you can trust to perform in any situation.
