Great Lakes Firearms GL15223PBWHT AR-15 223 Wylde 30+1 7.50" Black Nitride Threaded Barrel, M-LOK Handguard, White Cerakote Aluminum Receiver w/Picatinny Rail, Black Polymer Mil-Spec Grip

The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223PBWHT is a .223 Wylde AR-15 pistol built for shooters who want a compact, modular platform without sacrificing accuracy or flexibility. This short-barreled rifle (SBR) alternative pairs a 7.5" black nitride 4150 CRMOV barrel with a white Cerakote aluminum receiver and 15.25" M-LOK handguard, giving you a distinctive, lightweight setup that's equally at home on the range, in tactical training, or for home defense. The 1:8 twist rifling stabilizes a wide range of .223 ammunition, while the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle accepts standard suppressors and muzzle devices.

This pistol ships with a 30-round capacity and rides a G-Force GFAB001 Ace of Brace adjustable five-position brace for stability and control. The upper is forged aluminum with an M4 feed ramp; the lower is billet 7075 aluminum for durability. Full-length Picatinny rail atop the receiver and M-LOK slots on the handguard give you multiple mounting points for optics, lights, and accessories. A mil-spec trigger and grip round out the controls—proven, reliable, and familiar to anyone who's shot an AR-platform rifle.

The white Cerakote finish stands out visually and offers solid corrosion resistance, while the black nitride barrel resists wear and fouling. Whether you're building a compact precision trainer, a truck gun, or a dedicated short-range platform, the GL15223PBWHT delivers modularity and performance in a package that feels and handles like a proper AR—just shorter.
