FAQ
What caliber does this rifle use?
It chambers .223 REM and 5.56 NATO, so you can shoot both interchangeably. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes heavier bullets well.
Is the CK-PRO-LITE legal in my state?
Because the barrel is 7.5 inches, this rifle is classified as a short-barreled rifle (SBR) under federal law unless it has a pistol brace or is registered with the ATF. Check your local laws before ordering.
Can I mount a suppressor on this barrel?
Yes, the 1/2×28 threads are standard for 5.56 suppressors, but the short barrel may void some suppressor warranties. Always confirm with the can manufacturer first.
Does this come with iron sights?
No, the rifle ships without sights or optics. You’ll need to add your own sights, red dot, or scope.
