Great Lakes GL15223G-HNT | .223 Wylde 16″ AR-15

The Great Lakes GL15223G-HNT is a semi-automatic modern sporting rifle chambered in .223 Wylde with a 16-inch nitride-treated barrel and a Galaxy/Hunter Green Cerakote finish. It is built on 7075 aluminum receiver components and features a full-length aluminum handguard with a 15.25-inch rail section for accessory mounting. This configuration suits precision-oriented shooting and practical/competition use where a reliable, repeatable .223 Wylde platform is desired.
