Great Lakes Firearms AR-15 .223 Wylde 16" SS FDE 30-Round Rifle$699.00
Availability: In Stock
The Great Lakes Firearms AR-15 .223 Wylde 16" FDE semi-automatic rifle is built for shooters who demand accuracy and versatility without compromise. Chambered in .223 Wylde—a chamber that fires both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition—this rifle gives you flexibility at the range or in the field. The 16-inch heavy barrel with 1:8 twist stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights, while the carbine-length gas system keeps the platform responsive and reliable. At 6.8 lbs, it's light enough for extended shooting sessions or hunting, yet rigid enough to hold tight groups downrange.
The rifle comes dressed in Flat Dark Earth Cerakote, a finish that resists corrosion and wear while looking professional on any shooting line. The upper and lower receivers are machined from 7075 aluminum for strength without excess weight. The 15.25-inch free-floating Picatinny rail handguard gives you mounting options for lights, lasers, or thermal gear, and the M4 feed ramps ensure reliable feeding with quality ammunition. You get a mil-spec polymer grip and a standard trigger with a 5.5–6 lb pull—predictable and clean.
One 30-round magazine ships with the rifle, and a muzzle brake is already installed and designed for easy removal or service without threadlocker. The included Picatinny rail means you'll need to add your own sights or optic to get on target, giving you the freedom to build the rifle to your exact specifications. Whether you're setting up a precision rifle for competition, a hunting platform, or a reliable do-it-all .223, this Great Lakes offering delivers proven AR-15 architecture at a fair value.
