Griffin Armament | MK2 Rifle Patrol 5.56 14.5

The Griffin MK2 Rifle Patrol is a compact AR-style carbine built with an emphasis on ambidextrous controls and suppressor-optimized operation. It features a pinned 14.5-inch barrel in the Patrol configuration and a tuned mid-length gas system designed to run reliably suppressed or unsuppressed. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well for patrol and close-to-medium engagements, consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 for its versatile low-power variable magnification and robust construction.

Common applications include patrol/tactical duty and range or suppressor-testing work where a durable, suppressor-optimized platform is required.
