56 NATO Pistol – The Ideal Defense

The ALTERNATOR 5.56 AR pistol is has all the features you need, plus the bells and whistles you’ll actually want in an AR-15. For years, we’ve helped folks upgrade or build their custom guns, and now we’re offering this: an AR pistol that does everything you ask, equipped with great components you’ll want to keep. Plus, three great matching finishes to suit your preferences.

We want you to hit the range running with the ALTERNATOR. This rifle comes equipped with a free floating 12 inch M-LOK handguard, ambidextrous charging handle, mag catch, and safety, a 4.5 pound single stage trigger, and Magpul furniture for a comfortable, modernized feel. Grab an optic, load up your color-matched magazine, and get ready to send it.

Be sure to check out our Red Dot Sights and Scopes to make this rifle complete and ready for the range. For home defense, we always recommend a Weapon Light to identify your targets, as well as a Sling for weapon retention under stress. To improve your grip, consider a Front Grip for the handguard, or a Bipod for greater stability.
