It uses 15-round magazines and can accommodate a variety of optics, offering added versatility.

Features: This rifle comes with multiple barrel length options (18, 22, and 24 inches), making it adaptable to different shooting styles and ranges. A full-length Picatinny rail runs along the top of the rifle for mounting optics and accessories, and it comes equipped with a Magpul MOE PR stock for added comfort and customization.
