The .223 Wylde chamber accepts both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, pairing versatility with a 1:8 twist to stabilize a broad range of bullet weights. The 16 in carbon steel barrel uses 5R rifling and a Melonite QPQ treatment for durability, and it is threaded 1/2-28 with an A2 5-port flash hider installed.
A mid-length gas system and direct-impingement operation provide a balanced setup. The forged flat-top upper carries a full-length 1913 Picatinny rail with forward assist and ejection-port cover. The free-float aluminum M-LOK handguard has a continuous top rail and a short 6 o'clock M-LOK rail segment installed for accessory mounting.
The custom-contoured 7075-T6 forged receivers include a beveled magwell for efficient reloads and a receiver tensioning screw. The hard-coat anodized black finish matches the rifle’s matte black overall color.
Controls and furniture are well appointed: a manual safety and standard magazine release, a Blackhawk AR Blaze nickel-boron single-stage trigger, a Blackhawk Axiom 6-position polymer stock with honeycomb recoil pad, and a Blackhawk textured pistol grip. Unloaded weight is about 7.0 lb, with an overall length of approximately 33.5 to 36.75 in.
