Geissele ALG Defense El Jefe 5.56 NATO

The Geissele ALG Defense El Jefe in 5.56 NATO is a Mil-Spec semi-automatic rifle engineered for reliability and performance at a competitive price. This rifle features a 16-inch chrome-lined, button-rifled barrel with an A2 flash hider, ensuring accuracy and durability for thousands of rounds. Constructed from 7075 aluminum billets, the upper and lower receivers are CNC-machined and finished with a Type 3 black anodized hardcoat for strength and corrosion resistance. The ALG V3X 15-inch M-LOK handguard and Warner & Swasey 3MOA red dot sight enhance tactical versatility for sport shooting or home defense.

Equipped with a Geissele mid-length gas system and 17-4 PH stainless steel gas block, the El Jefe delivers softer recoil and reliable cycling. The Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring, paired with an H1 buffer, ensures consistent cartridge stripping, even with steel case ammo or in dirty conditions. The B5 Systems Enhanced Sopmod stock and Geissele A22 grip provide ergonomic comfort, while the ALG Advanced Combat Trigger (ACT) offers a smooth, creep-free pull. No box or additional accessories are included beyond one 30-round magazine and a Mil-Spec sling.

Designed for shooters seeking a high-quality AR-15 without the premium price, the El Jefe combines Geissele’s precision engineering with practical features. The 6.5-pound weight and adjustable length (33.25" collapsed to 36.5" extended) make it maneuverable for dynamic scenarios. Whether for law enforcement, competitive shooting, or personal protection, this rifle delivers the durability and performance expected from Geissele’s ALG Defense line, making it a standout choice for any firearms enthusiast.
