- Combination finish: Cerakote and dark hard-coat anodizing

- Two-stage match trigger
- Anti-rotation handguard with locking system and integrated Arca rail with anti-friction.
- Brand X proprietary taper lock barrel nut

A note on finish: Anodizing and Cerakote each react to small variables, so shade can vary slightly from rifle to rifle — no two come out identical. That subtle variation isn’t a defect; it’s the fingerprint that makes your Standard one of one.
