Rise Watchman .223 Wylde AR-15 Rifle
The RISE WATCHMAN AR-15 Rifle is an incredibly dependable, accurate rifle.
Originally created as the WATCHMAN Law Enforcement Rifle, we set out to combine the best in accuracy, dependability, and affordability. Right out of the box, this rifle is ready for home defense or time at the range.
The RISE WATCHMAN AR-15 Rifle comes equipped with a match-grade RISE Trigger. It sports a smooth 3.5-lb. pull, crisp break, and fast reset. With the trigger’s incredibly quick reset, you’ll be able to stay on target easier and hit your follow-up shots faster.
Lightweight but balanced, it features a 416R stainless steel barrel and free-float aluminum handguard with multiple options for mounting accessories.
Watchman features a 416R stainless steel barrel shoots sub MOA with most factory ammo, and many shooters regularly record hits out to 600 yards with heavier, duty-type ammo.
It has a 1:7 twist, 1/2 x 28 threads, and mid-length gas system for more manageable recoil. The handguard has MLOK slots for attachments, a slim profile for comfort, and skeletonized design for weight reduction.
This rifle also has a Rise flash hider, LE145 single-stage trigger, and ambidextrous safety.
