Great Lakes GL-15 RIA | .223/5.56 | 16in | Left-Hand

The Great Lakes GL-15 RIA is a left-handed modern sporting rifle chambered for .223 REM/5.56 NATO with a 16-inch nitride-treated .223 Wylde barrel and a bronze metal finish. It ships with a 30-round Magpul PMAG and features a 15-inch M-LOK aluminum handguard and a six-position collapsible stock for adjustable ergonomics. The rifle is intended for left-handed shooters who want a factory-built AR platform with mil-spec controls and billet upper/lower construction. A suitable optic under $1,000 to pair with this rifle is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24, which provides low-power variable magnification appropriate for close- to mid-range shooting.

Applications for this platform include precision-oriented target work at typical AR service ranges and varmint or predator field use where a lightweight, accurate semi-automatic is desirable.
