Dark Storm Variant 1 Standard Rifle 16″
Built on a precision matched billet receiver set, the Variant 1 features competition‑grade performance and combat reliability. The Tungsten Cerakote finish over Ed Earle’s detail‑rich design makes it stand out in a sea of generic black rifles. It includes partial ambidextrous controls and an extended 13″ M‑Lok handguard ready for optics and attachments. The SOCOM‑profile 16″ barrel delivers long‑range accuracy without extra bulk. Up front, a Competition Compensator cuts muzzle rise and recoil. A Hogue rubber over‑molded polymer pistol grip and fixed stock provide rock‑solid control in any conditions.
Every firearm is hand‑assembled and individually tested at our factory in Rockledge, Florida with all American‑made components and materials.
