Palmetto State Armory PA-15 16" Nitride M4 Carbine Classic 5.56 NATO Rifle with FDE Furniture & Ambidextrous Charging Handle
This PSA PA-15 Classic delivers the tried-and-true M4 pattern with forged 7075-T6 receivers, a 16-inch nitrided 4150 CMV barrel, and carbine-length gas system. Factory FDE Magpul furniture and an ambidextrous charging handle engraved “U.S. Pat: D893662” set this example apart. The flat-top upper with Picatinny rail, threaded muzzle, and 1:7 rifling give buyers a ready canvas for optics and muzzle devices, while three translucent magazines—one 40-round and two 10-round—add immediate range value.
Forged in the USA and weighing about 6.8 lb unloaded, this full-size AR-15 offers rugged simplicity backed by PSA’s high-pressure-tested, magnetic-particle-inspected barrel and a manual safety selector. Whether you need a reliable range carbine or a platform for future upgrades, this rifle brings dependable components and clean execution in a collector-worthy condition.

The forged upper and lower receivers give the rifle a solid foundation, while the black hard-coat anodized finish resists wear. The carbine-length gas system keeps recoil smooth and parts common.
The 16-inch barrel is HP/MPI inspected, nitrided for corrosion resistance, and sports a 1:7 twist to stabilize a broad range of 5.56 NATO and .223 bullets. A standard A2 flash hider caps the 1/2-28 threaded muzzle for quick suppressor or device swaps.
Flat Dark Earth Magpul MOE furniture provides a secure grip and distinctive look. The six-position adjustable stock sets length of pull at approximately 10.5 inches when collapsed, while the matching MOE pistol grip improves ergonomics.
An ambidextrous charging handle simplifies operation for left- or right-handed shooters, and the flat-top receiver with integral Picatinny rail is ready for the optic of your choice. An F-marked A2 front sight gas block is installed; add the rear sight or optic that best fits your needs.
