Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 223 Wylde and standard 5.56 NATO?

223 Wylde is a hybrid chamber that safely fires both 5.56 NATO and 223 Remington ammunition with better accuracy than a standard 5.56 chamber. It offers tighter tolerances for 223 Remington while maintaining 5.56 NATO compatibility.

How much rail space does the 15-inch M-LOK system provide?

A 15-inch M-LOK rail gives you substantial real estate for mounting optics, lights, lasers, and grips. M-LOK slots are spaced throughout, allowing flexible accessory placement without rail clutter.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. Looking for gun shop Palo Alto? Visit us in Sunnyvale.
