The first of these models will be released in the Ranch configuration, with six chamberings available: 7.62x39mm, 450 Bushmaster, 400 Legend, 350 Legend, 300 Blackout and 5.56 NATO.
Compact and purpose-built, American Rifle Gen II Ranch models feature a 16.1″ cold hammer-forged, threaded barrel paired with a factory-installed radial port muzzle brake.
