Rise Armament Watchman Semi-Automatic Rifle .223 Wylde 16" Barrel (1)-30Rd Magazine Right Hand B5 Stock Black Finish
RISE Armament's Watchman AR-15 combines the best in reliability, accuracy, and affordability. Lightweight, made of premium components, and backed by a lifetime warranty, it stands out in a sea of black rifles. Chambered in .223 Wylde, the Watchman has a 16.1-inch barrel with a mid-length gas system for more manageable recoil. The free-floated 416R stainless steel barrel provides superior accuracy and proprietary weight reduction, making it a favorite among top competitive shooters. The Watchman comes standard with a RISE match-grade trigger that features a crisp, balanced break and lightened pull weight. It also has a Veil flash hider, which RISE developed specifically for the Watchman to minimize flash in low-light environments without the ringing that's typical with prong-style flash hiders. The Watchman's precision machined aluminum handguard boasts a continuous 12 o'clock top rail, MLOK slots, and six QD points spanning 360 degrees for virtually limitless customization options. It has a slim profile for comfort and a skeletonized design for weight reduction.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 223 Wylde is not a cartridge but a chamber. Although case dimensions of the 223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge are identical, pressures are not the same, chambers are not cut the same, and the two are not fully interchangeable. 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition should not be fired in a 223 Remington chamber. 223 Remington ammunition can safely be fired in a 5.56x45mm NATO chamber--but functioning may not be perfect in all semiautomatic actions. Bill Wylde of Greenup, Illinois created a "hybrid" chamber that enables full use of both types of ammunition in the same chamber, essentially the best of all worlds because of the huge variety of both 223 and 5.56 loads on the market.
