Sierra Nevada Arms SNA15 10.5" 5.56mm NATO AR Pistol — Limited-Production, Threaded Barrel
The Sierra Nevada Arms SNA15 is a scarce AR-15-pattern pistol produced in limited numbers before the company closed its doors. Built on forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers and fitted with a 10.5-inch threaded barrel, this direct-impingement pistol offers a compact footprint while retaining full-size AR compatibility. Collectors and shooters alike will appreciate its Anchor-Harvey “A” forged upper, free-float handguard with full-length Picatinny rail, and distinctive SNA roll marks that document its short production run.

Produced in the 2010s, the SNA15 was assembled by Sierra Nevada Arms using high-quality components and traditional direct-impingement operation. The lower receiver carries the ATF manufacturer code “SFV” and is roll-marked CAL. MULTI / MOD. SNA15, highlighting its multi-caliber capability within the AR platform.
The 10.5-inch barrel is threaded at the muzzle, ready for flash hiders, brakes, or other muzzle devices. Its compact length, combined with the pistol configuration, makes the SNA15 well-suited for confined-space handling while still delivering 5.56mm performance.
An aluminum free-float handguard with a full-length Picatinny rail provides a rigid mounting surface for sights and accessories without contacting the barrel. The mil-spec charging handle and manual safety selector maintain familiar AR-15 controls.
The receivers are machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in black hard-coat anodizing for durability. An over-molded rubber finger-groove grip improves purchase and comfort during extended handling.
