The lower receiver features the "Rampant Colt" and model markings on the left side of the magazine well and a right-handed, three-position selector marked "SAFE/SEMI/AUTO." Fitted with a ribbed round handguard, checkered pistol grip, and a two-position telescoping buttstock. Includes a black nylon sling. Magazine absent.
