The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSLBLK delivers precision engineering for left-handed shooters seeking a reliable AR-15 platform. This 223 Wylde chambered rifle eliminates the compromises typically faced by southpaw operators. Built with a 16-inch barrel and 15-inch M-LOK handguard, this configuration provides optimal balance between maneuverability and accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The 223 Wylde chamber specification sets this rifle apart from standard 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington chambers. This hybrid chamber design accommodates both cartridge types while delivering enhanced accuracy potential with match-grade ammunition. The left-hand ejection port and controls eliminate brass deflection issues and hot case ejection patterns that plague left-handed shooters using standard right-hand rifles.
