The 16-inch barrel is made from 4140 steel and treated with a Melonite QPQ finish. It uses 5R rifling with a 1:8 twist to promote consistent bullet stabilization. The muzzle is threaded and fitted with an A2-pattern birdcage, providing ready use with standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices.
A mid-length gas system balances impulse and reliability, while the free-float aluminum handguard enhances barrel harmonics. The handguard features a full-length top Picatinny rail for alignment of sights and accessories, along with M-LOK slots for modular mounting.
The forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers wear a Type III hard-coat anodized finish for surface durability. This first-generation Recon is equipped with the Blackhawk Axiom 6-position adjustable stock featuring a honeycomb recoil pad, paired with a textured polymer pistol grip for positive control.
This semi-automatic, direct-impingement AR-15 platform rifle has a 30+1 capacity. Folding iron sights are installed, with a non-factory front sight marked 'Sidewinder II.' One 30-round USGI-style metal magazine is included.
