The JAKL uses a long-stroke gas piston with an adjustable gas block, offering a robust operating system and straightforward tuning. Its bufferless architecture allows the folding stock to function without a receiver extension, enhancing storage and transport options.
The monolithic aluminum upper integrates the handguard and provides a continuous 1913 Picatinny top rail with M-LOK slots for accessories. A non-reciprocating, ambidextrous side charging handle is located on the left side for easy manipulation while keeping the rifle on target.
The 14.5 inch barrel is threaded 1/2x28 and fitted with a two-prong flash hider that is pinned and welded to reach a 16.1 inch overall barrel length. The matte black finish and aluminum receiver/handguard deliver a cohesive, durable exterior.
Controls include a manual safety with SAFE/FIRE markings and a Magpul pistol grip. The rifle accepts AR-pattern detachable magazines and is configured for a 30+1 capacity. No factory sights or optics are present. Notable details include the PSA JAKL logo on the right magwell and an 11.25 inch length of pull on the folding stock.
