Springfield Armory Introduces Saint 5.56

Springfield Armory has introduced a new Saint 5.56 AR-15 model, which they are calling “the ultimate refinement of the AR-15 form.”

The Saint’s design includes a flip-up rear aperture sight and fixed A2-style front. The 16-inch Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel features a 1:8 twist rate to handle a wide range of bullet types. The operation of the M16 bolt carrier group is managed by a mid-length gas system paired with a heavy tungsten buffer, resulting in an exceptionally smooth action. Micro-polished and Nickel Boron treated components for a comfortable grip and pull. Easily add your own accessories such as scopes and lights. Rear sight on a tactical rail is easily removed to allow for addition of a wide array of rear-mount accessories.

The Saint uses exclusive new Bravo Company components including a rattle-free buttstock and pistol grip designed for improved performance, along with a PKMT KeyMod handguard with heat shields and flexible attachment points.

5.56x45mm NATO caliber
35.5-inch length fully extended, collapses to 32.35 inches
