It ships with two 23-round magazines, a 16.5″ threaded barrel, and a collapsible stock with interchangeable palmswell grip inserts for a customizable fit. The M-LOK handguard with a Picatinny-style top rail and a flat-face trigger present a platform that adapts easily for range use and competition.
