Springfield SA-16 A2 5.56 Rifle, 20" Barrel, 30 Rounds

Springfield Armory SA-16 A2: The Evolution of a Legend

The Springfield Armory SA-16 A2 is more than just a rifle; it is an homage to one of the most iconic firearms in military history, the M-16 A2. This modern iteration upholds the legacy while integrating advancements that enhance performance and accuracy. Built with precision, each component reflects decades of proven battlefield experience and engineering excellence.

Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO (.223 REM), the SA-16 A2 maintains its versatility for both tactical applications and sporting use. The 20-inch barrel is crafted from 4150 CMV steel, chrome-lined for longevity, and features a 1:7 twist rate—ideal for stabilizing heavier projectiles favored by many shooters today.

The upper receiver is forged from rugged 7075 T6 aluminum with Type III hardcoat anodizing, ensuring durability under harsh conditions. Complementing this robust construction are M4 feed ramps and a forward assist feature borrowed from battle-proven designs.

A hallmark of reliability, the direct impingement gas system operates with an A2 pinned gas block at rifle length—a design choice that promotes smoother cycling and reduced recoil impulse. Meanwhile, the enhanced M16 bolt carrier group made from high-strength 9310 steel undergoes rigorous HPT/MPI testing to guarantee dependability when you need it most.

This model retains classic elements like an A2 flash hider muzzle device and fixed stock while offering modern conveniences such as an Accu-Tite™ tension system within its lower receiver assembly—also crafted from toughened aluminum alloy—and fitted with polymer handguards featuring integral heat shields to protect your hands during sustained fire sessions.

• Sights: Traditional iron sights configured in standard A2 style provide reliable target acquisition under various lighting conditions.
• Weight & Length: Weighing in at approximately 7 lbs 8 oz., this rifle balances well between maneuverability and stability across its full length of 39.5 inches.
• Trigger & Controls: Outfitted with Mil-Spec components including trigger guard setup ensures familiar controls for those accustomed to service rifles or civilian variants thereof; single side safety switch set at conventional ninety-degree throw enhances ease-of-use without sacrificing secure handling protocols during operation drills or live exercises alike!
