The Great Lakes GLFA AR-15 pistol in .223 Wylde pairs a 7.5-inch nitride-finished barrel with a FDE Cerakote finish (brand part no. GL15223PB FDE). A billet upper and lower carry a 7-inch M-LOK aluminum handguard, and a pistol buffer tube sits at the rear of the receiver. No iron sights come installed and the Picatinny optic footprint is ready for the red dot of your choice. It is a natural fit for close-quarters range work, a vehicle gun or a home-defense setup.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber the maker lists as shooting both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition.
• Barrel length is 7.5 inches, a short pistol length that keeps the gun compact and easy to maneuver.
• The barrel is nitride finished, a surface treatment that adds hardness and corrosion resistance.
• Rifling uses a 1:8 twist, a rate that stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights in .223 Wylde.
• Capacity is 30 rounds, and one 30-round magazine is included so you can start shooting right away.
• The handguard is a 7-inch M-LOK aluminum design, which lets you add a light or grip anywhere along its length.
• The finish is FDE Cerakote, a hard coating applied to protect the receivers and handguard from wear.
• The rear of the gun uses a pistol buffer tube, and the maker states that no brace is included.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, the common pitch for flash hiders and compensators.
• The gas system uses a .750 gas block, a common diameter that makes it simple to source replacement parts.
