Details

The 15" slim free-float handguard with Magpul® M-LOK® slots at 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 positions, plus angled slots, ensures superior modularity and control.

The Ruger® Elite 452® AR-Trigger is a two-stage system delivering a 4.5-pound crisp pull with full-strength hammer spring and lightweight hammer for enhanced accuracy.

The Ruger® muzzle brake with radial port design effectively reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. The 457mm cold hammer-forged barrel made from 4140 chrome-moly steel features ultra-precise rifling and nitrided finish for long life and corrosion resistance.

The 9310 steel bolt is proof tested, shot peened, and precision-machined. Chrome-plated interiors in the bolt carrier and gas key improve durability under heat and pressure.

The aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver includes a forward assist, brass deflector and dust cover, and is Type III hard-coat anodized. The rifle-length gas system enhances reliability and smooth operation.

Includes: one 30-round Magpul® PMAG® magazine.
