Great Lakes GL15223SSBRZ AR-15 223 Wylde 16" Stainless 30rd Bronze

The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSBRZ delivers precision and reliability in a distinctive bronze Cerakote finish that stands apart from standard black rifles. This AR-15 platform combines the versatility of 223 Wylde chambering with premium materials and thoughtful engineering. The stainless steel barrel and enhanced receiver coating provide superior corrosion resistance for extended service life.

What Makes This Different

The 223 Wylde chamber specification allows accurate firing of both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition while maintaining tighter tolerances than standard 5.56 chambers. The bronze Cerakote finish provides 2-3 times better corrosion resistance than standard anodizing while reducing glare and signature. The stainless steel barrel construction resists throat erosion and maintains accuracy longer than standard chrome-moly barrels.

Key Features

• 223 Wylde chamber accepts both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition
• 16-inch stainless steel barrel with 1:8 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
• Bronze Cerakote receiver finish rated to 1,800°F with superior corrosion protection
• Full-length Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories
• 6-position collapsible stock adjusts from 10.75" to 14.5" length of pull
• Standard AR-15 magazine compatibility with 30-round capacity
• Polymer pistol grip with textured surface for secure handling

Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to maintain sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition across temperature extremes. The stainless barrel handles rapid-fire strings without significant point-of-impact shift, making it suitable for competitive shooting and tactical applications. The Cerakote finish withstands saltwater exposure and humid conditions that would compromise standard finishes. The 223 Wylde chambering provides match-grade accuracy potential while retaining military ammunition compatibility.
