    New Springfield Armory AR

    Saw this on another forum. Springfield Armory is releasing a new AR that the specs actually look pretty good for the budget guns. MSRP of 899.

    http://www.alloutdoor.com/2016/10/31...aint-revealed/


    he upper and lower receivers are Type III hard anodized 7075 T6 aluminum, the upper receiver BCG bore and extension tube bore are coated with dry film lubricant, the upper includes M4 feed ramps and an “Accu-Tite Tension System” utilizes a nylon tipped tension screw between the upper and lower receivers to eliminate play and improve accuracy.

    The 16″ barrel is made of Chrome Moly Vanadium with a 5.56 NATO chamber and a 1:8 RH twist. The chamber, bore and external surfaces are coated with a Melonite finish, including under the front sight base.

    The rifle uses a mid-length gas system with a “H” heavy tungsten buffer. This combination is engineered to improve function, reduce wear on internal parts, and reduce felt recoil.

    The furniture is provided by Bravo Company and includes their six-position butt stock, exclusive PKMR handguard with KeyMod attachment points, Mod 3 pistol grip, and Bravo Company oversize trigger-guard.

    Although optic-ready, the SAINT is ready to go out of the box with a “F” height front sight with 2 MOA adjustment and a Springfield Armory low profile, flip-up, dual aperture rear sight with 1/2 MOA windage adjustment.

    The carbine uses a M16 bolt carrier group which has been shot peened and magnetic particle inspected to met mil-spec requirements. The gas key is hardened and staked and the extractor spring is installed with a o-ring for consistent extraction. The trigger is an enhanced single-stage GI type with a nickel boron coating.

    No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

    Looks like they did lots of things right, plus, the BCM KMR handguard is CLOSER!

    It's the PKMR hand guard and they melted. But he did claim to dump like 8 or 10 mags in 10 min.

    Pretty good looking specs, looks like they are competing with S&W with features relevant in the current market.

    Need to see one in person but it looks ok on paper for a budget AR. Be interesting to see street price.

    You can get a Colt 6920/6720 for the same money as the SAINT MSRP right now. If you can only have one, which would you choose?

    Looks pretty good for a basic entry AR, especially since it comes with iron sights. Now we need some people to run these hard for about a year to find out if they are worth it. I really thought the saint was going to be a new pistol since the AR market was so saturated already.
