Great Lakes GL15223SSCHY | .223 Wylde | 16″ Stainless | 30rd

The Great Lakes GL15223SSCHY (GL-15) is a semi-automatic AR-style rifle chambered in .223 Wylde that accepts both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. It pairs a 16-inch stainless-finish barrel with a free-float 15.25″ M-LOK aluminum handguard and a Black Cherry Cerakote two-tone appearance for a balance of durability and style. For optics, a versatile choice under $1,000 that suits this platform is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24, which provides a low-power variable for close-to-medium-range engagements and mounts easily to the full-length Picatinny rail. Typical applications for this rifle include varmint hunting and precision-oriented range practice.
