Chambered in 5.56mm NATO, the MEAN Hybrid-15 has a chrome-lined government profile barrel with a 1:7 twist, an A2 front sight, and a mil-spec trigger group, buffer tube and buttstock.

Perhaps most importantly, the Hybrid-15 incorporates MEAN’s 7075-T6 aluminum insert anodized to Mil-Spec standards and composite AR-15 lower receiver.
