Faxon ARAK-21 XRS | 5.56 / 16″ Barrel | Magpul SL

The Faxon ARAK-21 XRS is a modern sporting rifle chambered for 223 Rem / 5.56 NATO with a 16-inch Faxon barrel and a Magpul SL stock. It features a full-length Picatinny top rail and an M4-style quad-rail forward section for mounting accessories. The rifle is configured with a 30-round detachable magazine and an ambidextrous control set for versatile handling. A good optic pairing under $1000 for this platform is the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24, which balances close-quarters versatility with low-power precision for range and competition use.
