Q: Is the AR-X LightFighter chambered in .223 Wylde or 5.56?

A: The AR-X LightFighter is chambered in 5.56, which is backward compatible with .223. This means it can safely shoot both 5.56 and .223 ammunition. The only notable difference is that .223 Wylde chambers have a slightly narrower wall thickness. Given that our benchrest-grade barrels are designed for sub-MOA accuracy, you can confidently use either .223 or 5.56 ammunition with your AR-X LightFighter.

 

Q: Does the AR-X LightFighter come in other barrel lengths?

A: While we are actively exploring the possibility of offering alternative barrel sizes for the AR-X LightFighter, such as 12.5" and 14.5", it's important to note that we are currently in the testing phase. Our primary goal is to ensure that any new barrel lengths meet our stringent quality standards while maintaining the high level of accuracy our customers expect. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to expand our product offerings.

 

Q: Will you be selling the upper separately?

A: The upper is mil-spec when paired with a mil-spec lower, but due to the specific controls on the AR-X lower, they are designed to fit seamlessly together. We do not have plans to sell them separately.

 

Q: Will you be making a left-hand ejection version of the AR-X?

A: The ambidextrous controls on the AR-X make it an excellent choice for left-handed shooters. However, we do not intend to develop a left-hand ejection version.
