Great Lakes GLFA 243WIN AR10 | 24″ SS Barrel | 5rd

The Great Lakes GLFA is an AR-10 style, semi-automatic rifle chambered in .243 Winchester built with a 24-inch stainless steel threaded barrel and finished in OD green Cerakote. It features a 20-inch M-LOK aluminum handguard with a full-length Picatinny rail, 7075 billet upper and lower, and ships with a single detachable 5-round magazine. For a matching optic under $1,000 that suits long-range precision work on this platform, consider a 3-9x scope such as the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40, which offers versatile magnification for field-target and varmint work.

Common applications for this configuration include varmint and medium-game hunting and precision target shooting at intermediate ranges, where the .243 Winchester and a stiffer 24″ barrel deliver flat trajectories and consistency.
