Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSTNG AR-15 223 Wylde 16" Stainless

The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSTNG delivers enhanced accuracy and corrosion resistance through its stainless steel construction and 223 Wylde chamber specification. This configuration allows shooters to fire both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition with improved precision compared to standard 5.56 chambers.

What Makes This Different

The 223 Wylde chamber specification provides tighter tolerances than mil-spec 5.56 chambers while maintaining safe pressure levels for both cartridge types. The 16-inch stainless steel barrel resists corrosion better than standard carbon steel barrels and maintains accuracy longer under high round counts. The tungsten-colored receiver finish offers durability beyond standard anodizing while the carbine-length gas system ensures reliable cycling.

Key Features

• 223 Wylde chamber for enhanced accuracy with .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO
• 16-inch stainless steel barrel with 1:8 twist rate
• Tungsten receiver finish with Type III hard coat anodizing
• 30-round Magpul PMAG included
• Carbine-length gas system with A2 flash hider

Field testing shows the 223 Wylde chamber typically delivers 0.5-1 MOA improvement over standard 5.56 chambers when firing match-grade .223 ammunition. The stainless barrel construction maintains accuracy through extended shooting sessions and resists throat erosion that degrades precision in carbon steel barrels. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent chamber dimensions, while the robust construction handles duty use and adverse weather conditions.
