The CEO-15 Battle Series is an AR-15 pattern, direct-impingement semi-automatic rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 16-inch barrel. It features a uniform Cerakote Midnight Bronze finish applied to the upper and lower receivers and the handguard, giving it a durable, cohesive look.
Ergonomics and controls are well-appointed, including an ambidextrous safety selector and an ambidextrous charging handle with extended latches. The rifle is fitted with a FAB Defense GL-CORE adjustable stock and an AGR-43 grip, providing a secure, modern interface for the shooter.
The front end is built around an approximately 15-inch free-float aluminum M-LOK handguard with short Picatinny sections for accessory placement. A multi-baffle muzzle brake is installed at the muzzle. The rifle has a right-side ejection port cover and a forward assist, and ships with no iron sights installed.
This example notes a low two-digit serial sequence, adding distinction for buyers who appreciate an early production run within the Battle Series.
