Coming with a preinstalled MOSFET and ETU, you can be sure that this rifle's internals will be safe from any battery-related drama, and you can also program either a 3-round or 5-round burst instead of full auto.

This sleek rifle comes with a stylish muzzle break and handguard, plus a PDW-style stock, so you can easily dominate the CQB arenas! If you are looking for a modern operator-style look, you'd be hard-pressed to find something quite like the Seekins Precision SBR8.
