The rifle uses the M14-pattern short-stroke gas piston with a rotating bolt, delivering the familiar handling and function of the platform.
The barrel is chrome-lined and measures 22 inches, offering durability and easy maintenance. Chambered in .308 Win., it uses the standard detachable M14-pattern magazine interface and includes a 20-round steel magazine.
Sighting equipment is true to the M14 pattern, with an adjustable rear aperture featuring windage and elevation knobs and a wing-protected front post. Furniture consists of a hardwood stock with sling swivels and a ribbed polymer upper handguard. Length of pull is 13.5.
This IDE USA (Southfield, MI) side-stamped import carries the expected marks: "IDE USA SFLD. MICH.," "POLYTECH CHINA," and "MADE IN CHINA." Its post-1989 import configuration includes an unslotted muzzle device with no bayonet lug.
