Description
The .350 Legend has earned a loyal following among deer hunters, and the Great Lakes Firearms GL-15 gives you that straight-walled thumper in a rifle that handles like the AR you already know. Built in Michigan, this one wears an 18 inch 416R stainless steel barrel with a 1:16 twist against a black receiver set, giving it a sharp bi-tone look that stands out from the sea of all-black rifles on the rack. The heavy-profile barrel is threaded 9/16×24 and comes topped with a ported compensator, which takes the already mild recoil of the .350 Legend down another notch.
What the GL-15 Brings to the Deer Woods
Inside the .350 Legend punches well above its looks. It pushes a .35 caliber bullet with enough energy to cleanly take whitetail out to 200 yards or so, with recoil soft enough that newer hunters and smaller-framed folks can shoot it comfortably all afternoon. The GL-15 feeds from an included 5-round magazine and uses modified M4-style feed ramps to keep those straight-walled cases running smoothly. A 7075 aluminum upper receiver keeps things rigid without piling on weight, and the mil-spec trigger breaks in the 5.5 to 6 pound range, right where you'd expect a working rifle to sit.
Setting Up Your GL-15 .350 Legend
There are no sights on board, and that's by design. The full-length Picatinny rail up top gives you a clean slate for a hunting scope, red dot, or LPVO, and the 15.25 inch 6061 aluminum M-LOK handguard has real estate for a bipod, light, or sling mount wherever you want it. The six-position collapsible stock adjusts to fit heavy winter layers or a smaller shooter without any tools.
Great Lakes Firearms has built a solid reputation for turning out well-made ARs at working-folk prices, and the GL-15 in .350 Legend is a big reason why. If your deer season calls for a straight-walled cartridge, this rifle checks the boxes without emptying your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Great Lakes GL-15 .350 Legend come with sights?
No, this rifle ships optics-ready with no iron sights installed. The full-length Picatinny rail on top gives you plenty of room to mount a scope, red dot, or LPVO. Most buyers pair it with a 1-6x or 3-9x scope for deer hunting.
Is the .350 Legend a good deer cartridge?
It has become one of the most popular straight-walled cartridges for whitetail, and for good reason. It delivers plenty of energy for clean, ethical shots on deer-sized game inside 200 yards while producing noticeably less recoil than rounds like the .450 Bushmaster. That soft shooting makes it a great pick for newer hunters and younger family members.
What is the difference between the barrel and receiver finish on this GL-15?
This model wears a bi-tone setup, meaning the 416R stainless steel barrel is left in its natural silver finish while the receivers and furniture are black. Great Lakes does its Cerakote work in house, and the two-tone contrast gives the rifle a custom look right off the shelf.
Can I mount accessories on the GL-15's handguard?
Absolutely. The 15.25 inch 6061 aluminum handguard has M-LOK slots along the sides and bottom, so you can add a bipod, weapon light, hand stop, or sling mount wherever it suits you. The uninterrupted Picatinny rail up top ties into the receiver for solid optic mounting.
