The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSMMAN AR-15 delivers precision shooting capability in a distinctive Manhattan urban camouflage pattern. This 223 Wylde chambered rifle accommodates both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition with enhanced accuracy potential over standard 5.56 chambers.
What Makes This Different
The 223 Wylde chamber specification provides tighter tolerances than mil-spec 5.56 chambers while maintaining full ammunition compatibility. The 15-inch M-LOK handguard offers extensive mounting real estate for accessories while keeping the overall profile streamlined. Manhattan Camo receivers feature a digital urban pattern that breaks up the rifle's outline in varied environments.
Key Features
- 223 Wylde chamber for improved accuracy with both .223 and 5.56 ammunition
- 16-inch barrel with integrated muzzle brake for recoil reduction
- 15-inch M-LOK compatible handguard with full-length top rail
- Manhattan Camo finish on upper and lower receivers
- Carbine-length gas system for reliable cycling

Field performance centers on the 223 Wylde chamber's ability to extract maximum accuracy from match-grade .223 ammunition while maintaining the reliability standards of 5.56 NATO. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise during rapid fire sequences. The extended handguard accommodates bipods, lights, and optics mounting without crowding the shooter's support hand position.
