The F17-X R2 has a new Osprey Defense slim piston system. The new piston system automatically adjusts for suppressed or unsuppressed use, no adjustments needed and functions with most suppressors. This pairs perfect for use with the 16-inch barrel, which is threaded in the common ½-28 TPI thread pitch perfect for use with compatible suppressors. The new proprietary handguard features an integrated barrier stop/indexing point and is M-Lok compatible.

The Franklin Armory F22 series is packed with tons of great features. This complete .22 Long Rifle (LR) firearm has low recoil and easy to use controls, making it great for plinking and small game hunting.
