Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPB BLK/SS 223 Wylde 7.50"
The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPB is a .223 Wylde AR15 pistol built for shooters who want a compact, versatile platform without compromise. With a 7.5" stainless steel barrel and a purpose-built pistol brace, this short-barreled rifle delivers the ergonomics and modularity of the AR platform in a truly handheld format. Whether you're running drills at close quarters, setting up a truck gun, or exploring specialized competition formats, this pistol offers the precision and customization depth that serious shooters demand.
Great Lakes Firearms started with a billet aluminum lower receiver (7075-T6) and forged aluminum upper, then dressed it in a professional black and stainless two-tone Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and wear. The 416R stainless steel barrel uses a 1:8 twist rate, suited to stabilize a range of .223 Wylde loads, and threads at 1/2x28 for suppressor or muzzle brake compatibility. The gun ships with a custom muzzle device and the G-Force Ace of Brace—a five-position adjustable pistol brace—so you can dial in length of pull out of the box.
The handguard is a 15.25" M-LOK aluminum rail (6061-T6) with a full-length top Picatinny rail for optics and accessories. The receiver set is built around a mil-spec trigger and M4 feed ramp geometry, ensuring reliability and parts compatibility. At this length and configuration, this AR pistol is ideal for close-range accuracy, tactical drills, or as a truck-mounted platform that doesn't sacrifice modularity.
