The forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers feature a Type III hardcoat anodized finish and Springfield's Accu-Tite receiver-tensioning screw to reduce play between the upper and lower. The upper includes a T-marked flat-top Picatinny rail (T4–T14), plus a forward assist, shell deflector, and ejection-port cover.
The 16-inch chrome-moly-vanadium steel barrel is Melonite-treated for durability and corrosion resistance, cut with a 1:8 RH twist for a wide range of 5.56 loads. It is threaded 1/2x28 and fitted with an A2 birdcage flash hider.
The operating system is semi-automatic, direct impingement with a mid-length gas setup. The bolt is HPT/MPI Carpenter 158 steel paired with an M16-profile carrier. Controls include a GI-type charging handle, a manual safety selector, and a GI-pattern single-stage trigger with nickel-boron coated components.
Furniture includes a 6-position collapsible polymer stock with a rubberized buttpad (13.5-inch length of pull), a textured polymer pistol grip, and a two-piece, delta-ring-retained polymer mid-length handguard. Sighting is via an A2 fixed front sight tower and a Springfield-marked flip-up aperture rear sight. Capacity is 30+1 with the included PMAG.
Made in the United States and finished in black, this SAINT configuration delivers a clean, practical setup ready for use with its included sights and quality components.
