Great Lakes GL15223S-SND | .223 Wylde 16″ 30+1 Serpent Sand

This Great Lakes GL15223S-SND is a .223 Wylde AR-pattern rifle built with a 16-inch barrel and a Serpent Sand Cerakote finish. It ships with a 30-round magazine and is configured with a 15.125″ M-LOK style handguard and a nitride-finished barrel. A versatile mid-length AR in .223 Wylde like this pairs well with a compact low-power variable optic; consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 as a sub-$1,000 option for fast target acquisition and practical engagement distances. Common use cases include precision practice at the range and varmint/horizon hunting where .223 Wylde ballistics are appropriate.
