The Citadel Taipan X (brand part no. CITTPN223FDE) combines the ergonomics shooters already know from the MSR platform with a manually operated straight-pull, spring-assist pump action, chambered in .223 Remington with a 16.5-inch threaded barrel and a 10-round magazine. Legacy Sports International built this rifle in an FDE finish for shooters who want familiar AR-15-style controls in a manually cycled platform, whether for jurisdictions with semi-automatic restrictions or simply as a different shooting experience.
