The Great Lakes Firearms 223 Wylde braced pistol is a compact, AR-pattern firearm built for shooters who want a short-barreled platform without the NFA paperwork. Chambered in .223 Wylde—a versatile round that reliably cycles both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition—this 7.5" stainless steel barrel pistol delivers the accuracy and modularity of an AR in a highly portable package. The G-Force GFAB001 Ace adjustable brace provides a stable shooting platform across five positions, making it equally suited to bench work, tactical training, or close-quarters drills.
Built on a billet aluminum 7075 lower receiver and forged aluminum upper, this pistol prioritizes durability without excessive weight. The 15.25" aluminum handguard features M-LOK slots for mounting optics, lights, and other accessories, plus a full-length Picatinny rail on top—plenty of real estate to configure the gun exactly how you shoot it. The 1:8 twist rifling stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights, and the 1/2x28 muzzle threads accept standard AR suppressors and brakes. With a mil-spec trigger, M4 feed ramp, and .750 gas block, this is a purpose-built shooter, not a budget compromise.
The white Cerakote finish stands out visually and offers solid corrosion resistance for regular use. Whether you're setting up a truck gun, a training platform, or a backup defensive rifle, the GLFA 223 Wylde gives you AR reliability and upgradability in a form factor that goes where full-length rifles can't. Comes with a 30-round magazine.
