Great Lakes GL15223SSPBRZ AR-15 Pistol 223 Wylde 7.5" Bronze

The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPBRZ AR-15 pistol delivers precision and versatility in a compact platform chambered in 223 Wylde. This configuration accepts both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition while maintaining superior accuracy potential. The bronze receiver finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance beyond standard anodizing.

What Makes This Different

The 223 Wylde chamber specification offers tighter tolerances than military 5.56 chambers while maintaining full compatibility with both cartridge types. The 7.5-inch stainless steel barrel provides optimal velocity retention in a compact package, while the bronze Cerakote finish delivers 2,400+ hour salt spray resistance. The 7-inch M-LOK handguard extends nearly to the muzzle, maximizing accessory mounting real estate.

Key Features

• 223 Wylde chamber accepts both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition
• 7.5-inch stainless steel barrel with 1:7 twist rate for heavy bullets
• Bronze Cerakote receiver finish with superior corrosion resistance
• 7-inch M-LOK handguard with full-length top rail
• Standard carbine buffer tube ready for brace installation
• A2 pistol grip provides consistent hand positioning
• 30-round magazine capacity (where legally permitted)

This pistol configuration excels in close-quarters applications where maneuverability matters most. The short barrel maintains effective range to 200 yards while reducing overall length by 8 inches compared to rifle variants. The stainless barrel resists throat erosion from rapid fire better than chrome-lined alternatives. The M-LOK mounting system accepts lights, lasers, and grips without additional rail sections.
