Great Lakes GL15223SSB-LRD | GL-15 .223 Wylde | 16″ Barrel

The Great Lakes GL15223SSB-LRD is a GL-15 pattern modern sporting rifle finished in a lipstick-red battleworn Cerakote with a stainless 16-inch heavy barrel and a 30-round magazine. The rifle is configured as a semi-automatic sporting firearm with billet upper and lower components, a mil-spec control set and a 6-position collapsible stock. For mounting an optic under $1,000 that complements the platform for both short- and mid-range use, a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 would be a suitable match.

Well-suited applications include precision work on the range and varmint or small-game field use where a light, fast-handling 16″ AR is appropriate.
