This K2 is a Stoeger Industries import with clear receiver markings and the desirable pre-ban features retained. The rifle’s 18.3-inch barrel, threaded muzzle with slotted flash hider, and bayonet lug align with its original configuration, making it a strong example for enthusiasts who value early-import characteristics.
The operating system is a semi-automatic, gas-operated, long-stroke piston with a rotating bolt, paired with a right-side reciprocating charging handle. This setup, combined with steel and aluminum receiver construction and a phosphate/painted finish, gives the K2 its well-known service-grade build.
It accepts AR-15/STANAG magazines and includes front and rear sling attachment points. Sighting is provided by a hooded front post and a drum-style rear aperture, consistent with the K2’s military lineage.
The fixed polymer stock provides a 13.5-inch length of pull, and the ribbed polymer handguard rounds out the rifle’s original pattern furniture. An E&L Manufacturing brass catcher is installed and included, adding utility for range use while preserving the rifle’s lines.
