Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPB ODG/SS 223 Wylde 7.50"
The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPB is a .223 Wylde AR15 pistol built for shooters who want a compact, configurable platform without the NFA paperwork that comes with a short-barreled rifle. With a 7.5-inch stainless steel barrel and a G-Force adjustable brace, this ODG and stainless finish pistol delivers the modularity of an AR platform in a package that's easy to handle in tight spaces, from the range to the truck bed. Whether you're testing loads, running drills, or keeping a handy defensive option, the .223 Wylde chamber gives you flexibility to shoot both .223 and 5.56 NATO ammunition.
Built on a billet aluminum 7075 lower receiver and forged aluminum upper, the GLF15223SSPB prioritizes strength and precision. The 15.25-inch M-LOK handguard with full top Picatinny rail lets you mount optics, lights, and accessories exactly where you want them. The 1:8 twist barrel is threaded 1/2x28 and fitted with a custom muzzle device—ready for a suppressor if you go that route. Mil-spec trigger, M4 feed ramp, and a .750-inch gas block round out a straightforward, no-nonsense build.
This is a pistol for shooters who understand what they're buying: a legal, configurable AR platform in a smaller footprint. It's not a rifle, it's not a SBR, and it's your responsibility to know your local laws. If you're shopping for a compact .223 shooter with room to grow, the Great Lakes Firearms GL15223SSPB delivers the core AR features and modularity that make the platform so popular.
