5.56mm NATO


The PROTECTOR series AR carbine and pistols from Wilson Combat have been designed from the ground up to offer true rifle performance in a Tactical AR package. The heart of every PROTECTOR is our Wilson Combat Match-Grade precision button rifled barrel, which is renowned in the firearms community as one of the most accurate AR barrels on the market and matched up with a premium bolt carrier assembly.

The Protector Elite models are built using billet upper and lower receivers, as opposed to forged receivers.

  • Protector Elite Carbine

    Using a CNC-Machined, billet upper and lower receiver set, the Protector Elite series AR Carbines and Pistols are lightweight and fast handling. The free-floating and rugged Wilson Combat M-LOK® handguard has a slim, ergonomic profile with ample rail and attachment surface and shields the black nitride-finished non-adjustable gas block. Our durable and low-signature Armor-Tuff coating is individually applied to the receiver and barrel for a professional and practical, custom-style finishing touch.

    Our Wilson Combat Match-Grade, precision button-rifled stainless steel barrels are tested for accuracy and finished with our Q-Comp muzzle device that provides excellent recoil control without exacerbating blast back to the operator. The Wilson Combat exclusive 2-stage Tactical Trigger unit is utilized for a trouble-free, superior, crisp trigger pull every time with a modular construction that simplifies takedown and cleaning after high round count training sessions. Ergonomic comfort features like our machined aluminum Tactical Trigger Guard, Wilson Combat/BCM pistol grip, and a Wilson-Rogers Super-Stoc (Carbine versions only) complete this high-performing package that is tailored to the needs of military, law enforcement, or the well-armed civilian.
