FAXON FX5510XTI IONX HYPERLITE 5.56 | 10.50″

The Faxon ION-X Hyperlite AR pistol is a lightweight, competition-oriented 5.56 NATO platform designed for reduced recoil and agile handling. It features a tuned gas system, a Gunner lightweight bolt carrier group, ambidextrous controls, and a carbon-fiber handguard to keep weight to a minimum. The build combines a pencil-profile barrel and a ported Muzzlok flash hider to balance responsiveness with controllability. For a versatile optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this setup, consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 for fast target acquisition and reliable low-power precision.

Applications: competition shooting and range/target practice.
