Great Lakes GL-15 RIA | .223 Wylde | 16 in | Left-Handed

The Great Lakes GL-15 RIA is a left-handed modern sporting rifle chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO with a 16.0-inch nitride-treated barrel and a 30-round magazine. It is built on billet upper and lower receivers with mil-spec controls and a 15″ M-LOK aluminum handguard finished in flat dark earth cerakote. For a practical optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8×24 for flexible close-to-mid-range engagement.

Recommended uses include precision marksmanship and recreational target shooting or competition; the rifle’s left-handed controls and 1:8″ twist support a range of bullet weights for those applications.
