X-Ordnance displayed the X1-15 during CANCON West 2026 at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City, Nevada, where Cody spoke with Luke. The rifle employs a patented quick-release method rather than the pins that have joined AR-15 uppers and lowers since the platform began.

It preserves standard AR controls and ergonomics. Construction features 7075 billet aluminum receivers, an M-LOK handguard that is free-floating, and a Picatinny rail running the full length. The company builds these firearms in Surprise, Arizona, in both 5.56 and .22 LR configurations.
