This setup includes a mounted optic and bipod, making it drop-in ready for the range or field.
Key Features
- Complete Out-of-the-Box Package: Comes with a 4X32 scope and Caldwell XLA bipod pre-installed on the M-Lok handguard—no extra purchases or assembly needed to start shooting accurately.
- AR-15 Platform Familiarity: Controls, takedown, and handling mirror a centerfire AR-15, making it the most cost-effective training tool for that platform. The 10-round magazine is perfect for states with capacity restrictions or bench-rest shooting.
- Low-Recoil, High-Fun .22 LR: Chambered in the most affordable centerfire rifle caliber, allowing for extended practice sessions without breaking the bank on ammunition.
- Practical Configuration: The 16.5-inch barrel provides a good balance of velocity and maneuverability, while the collapsible stock adjusts for shooters of all sizes.

The rifle’s polymer upper and lower receivers are lightweight yet durable, engineered specifically for the low pressures of .22 LR. The 6-lb trigger pull is consistent for a rimfire trainer. Weighing in at just over 6 pounds unloaded, it’s easy to handle for younger shooters or for carrying on long walks. The package price of $465.95 represents significant value versus buying the rifle, optic, and bipod separately.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the Missouri shooter who needs an affordable analog for their centerfire AR. When it comes to honing fundamentals—sight picture, trigger control, magazine changes—nothing beats thousands of reps with cheap ammo. It’s also the ideal first rifle for a new hunter learning to stalk squirrels or manage pests around the property. The included bipod and scope make first-shot accuracy a given, which builds confidence fast.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unbeatable cost-per-round training. The complete package requires no gunsmithing. Familiar AR controls build muscle memory. Lightweight and low-recoil for all-day shooting. The M-Lok handguard accepts a vast array of lights and grips. Ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Cons: As a dedicated .22 LR, it’s not a home defense firearm. The included 4X32 scope is functional but basic; serious precision shooters may upgrade. The 10-round magazine is a limit for some, but it promotes deliberate shooting and is compliant in more areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a “real” AR-15?
A: It functions identically in terms of controls, disassembly, and handling, but it’s built on a polymer receiver set specifically for .22 LR. This makes it lighter and more cost-effective. It is not a centerfire AR-15 converted to .22; it’s a purpose-built rimfire trainer that’s mil-spec compatible in ergonomics.
Q: Can I use my existing AR-15 magazines or accessories?
A: It uses proprietary Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 magazines. However, the M-Lok handguard means a huge range of aftermarket accessories—from Magpul handstops to Streamlight weapon lights—will attach directly. The collapsible stock is also compatible with many standard AR-15 buffer tube stocks.
Q: Is it reliable with all types of .22 ammo?
A: It runs best with high-velocity 40-grain round-nose ammunition. While it can cycle some standard-velocity rounds, for optimal reliability and to avoid frustrating malfunctions during training sessions, stick with high-velocity loads. Its blowback action is simple and robust when fed the right ammo.
