Wilson Combat debuts a new set of rifles, the Ranger AR series, which combines the company’s lightweight billet receiver set to the Ranger match grade barrel.
The combination lends itself to a fast-handling AR setup that Wilson Combat says is perfectly suited for tactical, defense or hunting. The Ranger comes equipped with a M-LOK rail in addition to a Tactical Trigger Unit and Wilson-SLR click adjustable gas block. The series comes in two models — the Ranger and Ultralight Ranger.

Barrel length is dependent on caliber, but on the short end serves up 14-inches, topping out at 16-inches. The 8-pound rifle boasts an overall length of 33.5-inches collapses and 36.5-inches fully extended.
