The A2 configuration defines this carbine, with a fixed carry-handle upper that integrates a protected rear aperture sight. The carry handle bears an "A" forging code, and the receiver is roll-marked St. Cloud, Minnesota U.S.A. A round delta ring, ejection port cover, and case deflector are included on the upper.
The 16.5 in steel barrel uses a carbine-length gas system and ends in a threaded muzzle fitted with a birdcage flash hider. Ribbed polymer carbine-length handguards provide a solid, heat-resistant grip.
Furniture is classic and practical: a 6-position adjustable polymer stock with a rear sling loop and checkered buttplate offers an approximate length of pull from 10.25 to 14 in. An A2-style pistol grip with finger swell and checkering gives a familiar hold.
This A-15 operates via a semi-automatic, direct impingement system and uses a manual safety. The aluminum alloy receiver wears a matte anodized finish. Chambered in 5.56mm NATO with a 30+1 capacity, it retains the straightforward controls and handling expected of an AR-15 platform made in the USA.
