Lightweight construction is a key attribute of this model, with carbon-fiber–reinforced polymer upper and lower receivers and carbine-length two-piece ribbed polymer handguards. The rifle includes an adjustable, collapsible stock and an A2-pattern pistol grip, with a manual safety selector for control.
