The Shadow Systems E526 combines a compact braced layout with a lightweight build and a refined two-stage trigger. Its black bolt carrier complements the black finish, while ambidextrous controls and a textured pistol grip keep the handling straightforward. A chrome-lined barrel and carbine-length gas system complete the platform.
