Description
Griffin Armament’s MK1 AR-15 Series represents a fully-featured, quality, and value-packed carbine worthy of use as your primary carbine out of the box. Built as a system with each component working in harmony to create an incredibly soft-shooting platform suppressed or unsuppressed, while maintaining milspec tolerances for compatibility with other milspec parts on the market. This is not just another milspec AR though, each component is finely tuned and tweaked to produce a superior system that just plain works.
The MK1 Recce 16″ .223 Wylde Carbine is a true front line fighting rifle. The tuned mid-length gas system and suppressor optimized buffer system ensure a soft yet reliable gas system suppressed or unsuppressed. Griffin’s Anti-Rotation LOW-PRO Rails provide a rigid, yet lightweight handguard that is comfortable in the hand, yet robust enough to accommodate accessories such as lights and lasers. These rails have a tab that interfaces with the upper to prevent rotation of the rail under torque.
MK1 Firearms allow the end user to customize their build to fit their needs. Options include choice of muzzle device, furniture color, fixed or adjustable gas block, and milspec or gas pocket BCG. Users can also choose between Griffin’s time-tested 416R SS HEDP barrel, or our new 4140 CMV Chrome-Lined HEDP barrel – both of which provide exceptional accuracy and lifespan.

One of the best rifles I’ve ever shot straight out of the box.
Pros
-The recoil is unbelievable. Pushes the recoil straight back so there’s almost no vertical rise.
– The trigger is very nice. It feels like mil-spec, but without all the travel of a standard M-4 trigger.
– The freefloat rail system is rock solid and comfortable hold with either a standard or c-clamp grip.
– Back up irons are reliable and take up little space. I zeroed with them out of the box, 2 years and 1500rds later they’re still spot on.
Cons
-The pistol grip. It does it’s job, but if you run it without gloves, it’s very awkward feeling.
Not a con, but something to note
-If you’re going for accuracy, grab 62gr or heavier ammo. The 1-7 twist in these barrels are very picky. Good 62gr will get you submoa pretty easily. Factory 62gr will get you between 1-1.5 depending on manufacturer. 55gr performance massively decreases to 2-3 moa.

Built this up exactly as the Rifle’s name intended – a suppressed 16in gun with a 1-8 lpvo. This thing is fantastic. My safety selector screw was loose out of the box but that was a quick fix. I have zero complaints with this rifle. The suppressed tuned gas system really is what it says it is…especially with an OSS can. Buy it.
