Wilson Combat Tactical Ultralight Rifle

Wilson Combat is known for making top-shelf 1911 pistols and accessories in addition to its custom long guns. The Arkansas company recently launched a new variant of the Ultralight rifle series, the Tactical Ultralight Rifle.

The Wilson Combat Tactical Ultralight Rifle is based on the standard AR-15 pattern rifle and is offered in three popular intermediate centerfire rifle cartridges, including the 5.56 NATO, .300BLK and Wilson Combat’s own .300 HAM’R cartridge. Wilson Combat builds these rifles from a forged upper and lower receiver set created to the company's own specifications and outfits these lightweight tactical rifles with a telescoping Rogers Super Stock, a lightweight 16-inch hunter profile match grade tapering barrel and an ultra-lightweight M-Lok compatible railed handguard. Wilson Combat also finishes these firearms with its signature Armor-Tuff thermally cured finish that gained attention from its use on their 1911 pistols. Unlike a standard AR-15 pattern firearm, Wilson Combat also includes a low-mass bolt-carrier group to ensure that the carbine remains as lightweight as possible.

  • Available Calibers: 5.56 NATO, 300BLK, 300 HAM'R
