PSA 16" Mid-Length 5.56 NATO Rifle with 15" M-LOK Free Float Rail
The Palmetto State Armory 16" Mid-Length Rifle combines proven AR-15 reliability with modern features and exceptional value. Built with forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers, a nitride-treated 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel, and a free-float M-LOK handguard, this rifle is designed to perform whether you're training at the range, protecting your home, or enjoying a day of recreational shooting.
At the heart of the rifle is a 16-inch 4150 CMV barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO with a versatile 1:7 twist rate, allowing it to stabilize a wide variety of bullet weights. The mid-length gas system offers smoother cycling and reduced felt recoil compared to traditional carbine-length systems, while the nitride finish enhances corrosion resistance and barrel longevity.
The rifle features PSA's lightweight 15-inch Hex M-LOK free-float handguard, providing ample space for optics, lights, slings, bipods, and other accessories. A continuous Picatinny top rail allows for flexible optic mounting while the M-LOK attachment system keeps weight to a minimum.
Internally, the rifle utilizes a Carpenter 158 steel bolt, an 8620 full-auto profile bolt carrier, and a properly staked gas key built to mil-spec standards for dependable operation. Combined with forged receivers, a mil-spec fire control group, and a six-position adjustable stock, the PSA Mid-Length Rifle is built to provide years of reliable service.
