The Great Lakes Firearms 223 Wylde braced pistol delivers precision and modularity in a compact, legally compliant platform. Built on a 7.5" stainless steel barrel chambered in .223 Wylde, this AR15-pattern pistol pairs reliability with the flexibility to configure for range shooting, home defense, or specialized applications. The bronze Cerakote finish resists wear and corrosion in field conditions, while the billet aluminum lower and forged aluminum upper receivers provide the durability you expect from a modern fighting gun in a pistol form factor.
Accuracy and control start with the foundation: a 1:8 twist 416R stainless barrel that stabilizes a wide range of .223 loads, combined with a mil-spec trigger and M4 feed ramp for reliable cycling. The G-Force adjustable brace includes five positions to dial in your cheek weld and shooting geometry, making this platform equally at home behind barrier cover or from unconventional shooting positions. Threading is 1/2x28 for easy muzzle device swaps—whether you're adding a brake for recoil management, a flash hider, or a suppressor-ready adapter.
The 15.25" handguard in aluminum 6061 runs full M-LOK for accessory mounting, with a continuous Picatinny rail across the top for optics. Thirty-round magazine capacity keeps you supplied for extended range sessions or rapid-fire drills. Whether you're a dedicated pistol competitor, a tactical trainer, or a shooter exploring the versatility of short-barreled AR builds, the GLFA 223 Wylde gives you a solid platform to build on.

.223 Wylde is a hybrid chamber that safely fires both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition. The Wylde specification offers tighter tolerances than standard 5.56 chambers, which can improve accuracy with .223 ammunition while maintaining full NATO compatibility.
