Citadel Taipan Pump-Action Rifle .223 Wylde 16.5-inch Black

The Citadel Taipan (brand part no. CITTPN223BLK) is a pump-action rifle chambered in .223 Wylde with a 16.5-inch barrel, built by Legacy Sports International to bring familiar AR-15 ergonomics to a manually operated spring-assist pump platform. Its straight-pull cycling gives shooters rifle-caliber performance in jurisdictions or use cases where semi-automatic actions are restricted, without giving up the controls and accessory compatibility shooters already know from the MSR platform.
