Color on an AR is not unusual anymore, and the Orchid finish on this Great Lakes Firearms pistol is a good example. It is an AR-15 pistol chambered in.223 Wylde with a 7.5-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine, finished in orchid and fitted with a buffer tube but no brace.

Great Lakes is a Wisconsin barrel maker that also sells complete firearms. The.223 Wylde chamber is cut to handle both.223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, so you can use either. A 7.5-inch barrel makes the gun very compact, and the lack of a brace means the buyer should understand the pistol has no stock.

At just over seven hundred sixty-five dollars, it is an affordable way to own a compact AR in a distinct color. Expect plenty of muzzle blast and flash from a short barrel, and use hearing protection. Optics, lights and slings can be added from the large AR aftermarket. Spare parts and accessories are easy to find, so you can tune it to your own needs over time.

This firearm is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer of your choice for the background check and transfer.
