Description
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.
Effective 03/01/2026: All rifles will ship with a Magpul DT Stock and K2 pistol grip.
Every firearm is hand-assembled and individually tested at our factory in Rockledge, Florida with all American-made components and materials.
