The Franklin Armory F17-X rifle in .17 WSM and black finish (brand part no. 00-10058-BLK) runs a piston-operated action to reliably cycle the fast, flat-shooting .17 Winchester Super Magnum rimfire cartridge on an AR-pattern platform. Franklin Armory cuts the 16-inch barrel to a 1:9 twist and threads it 1/2-28, rating the rifle for a 20-round capacity and shipping it with one 20-round magazine. The rifle runs a manual thumb safety and ships without sights, leaving the top rail ready for the optic of your choice. Among AR rifles, this F17-X configuration favors .17 WSM shooters who want a piston-driven varmint rifle on familiar AR ergonomics.
