GEISSELE AUTOMATICS ALG Defense El Jefe 5.56mm NATO 16.25in 30rd Black Semi-Automatic Rifle (08-478B)

The ALG Defense El Jefe Rifle is designed for a shooter looking for a Mil-Spec class rifle at a solid price point. El Jefe is a complete rifle system with an included sling and a Warner&Swasey red dot sight. A quality rifle starts with a quality receiver set. El Jefe's upper and lowers start with domestically sourced 7075 aluminum billets.

El Jefe's handguard is the well-known ALG V3X featuring a slim, round profile with low viz M-LOK slots. The V3X uses the ALG rock solid large diameter barrel nut for the ultimate in stiffness and resistance to rough handling. A comfortable and ergonomic SOPMOD stock from B5 Systems is mated to a 7075-T6 aluminum Mil-Spec six position buffer tube. A Geissele Super 42 braided wire buffer spring surrounds an H1 buffer so that even low powered steel case ammunition will cycle reliably.

Of course, the El Jefe has the renowned ALG Defense Advanced Combat Trigger. Machined from MIL-B-11595E chrome moly steel, the barrel on El Jefe is button rifled and chrome plated. A 5.56 NATO chamber will eat both .223 Remington and military 5.56mm ammunition. Hard chrome plating is the most effective method of making a true hard use combat barrel. Not only does chrome provide corrosion and wear resistance but it also is non-fouling and resistant to the erosive effect of hot powder gases.

To complete the rifle system, El Jefe comes with an M4 carbine Mil-Spec web sling and a pair of steel QD swivels. The cherry on top is the US engineered Warner and Swasey 3 MOA red dot sight with integral back up iron sights so there is no need for a separate BUIS set. With no requirement to dismount the red dot or flip or move anything out of the way, the W&S integral iron sights are instantly available in an emergency. A sharp and clear red dot affirms the quality of this sight as soon as the shooter takes aim at his target. A strong scope mount with oversize cross bolts maintains zero during the inevitable bumps and drops of a duty rifle.
