The rifle wears white-finished aluminum-alloy upper and lower receivers with matching white stock and handguard, contrasted by a black barrel and small parts. The carbine-length, two-piece ribbed polymer handguard and black polymer pistol grip provide a classic AR-556 configuration, while the 6-position collapsible stock offers adjustable length of pull.
The 16.1 inch barrel uses a 1:8 RH twist to stabilize a wide range of 5.56 NATO projectiles. It is threaded and topped with an A2 flash suppressor, and the barrel rollmark reads "5.56 NATO 1-8" for quick reference.
A flattop upper receiver with Picatinny rail, forward assist, ejection-port cover, and case deflector delivers the familiar AR feature set. Sighting is handled by a fixed A2-style front sight base and a Ruger flip-up polymer aperture rear sight.
The AR-15 platform rifle runs a semi-automatic, direct impingement system with a manual safety and the standard 30+1 capacity. It is chambered in 5.56mm NATO and ships with a Magpul PMAG GEN M3 magazine.
