The ArmaLite M15TAC16 delivers proven performance in a versatile tactical platform chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. This carbine-length rifle combines ArmaLite's manufacturing expertise with premium Magpul accessories for enhanced functionality. The 16-inch barrel provides optimal velocity while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces.

What Makes This Different

The M15TAC16 features a hard coat anodized receiver that exceeds mil-spec Type III standards for corrosion resistance. Unlike basic carbines with standard furniture, this rifle comes equipped with the adjustable Magpul STR stock that offers multiple length-of-pull positions and enhanced cheek weld. The integrated Magpul MBUS flip-up sights provide reliable backup optics while maintaining a low profile when folded.

Key Features

  • 16-inch chrome-moly vanadium barrel with 1:7 twist rate for heavy bullet stability
  • Hard coat anodized Type III finish on upper and lower receivers
  • Magpul STR collapsible stock with adjustable length of pull and storage compartments
  • Magpul MBUS front and rear flip-up iron sights
  • A2 flash hider reduces muzzle flash and can be replaced with suppressors or muzzle devices
  • Flat-top upper receiver with full-length Picatinny rail for optics mounting
  • Standard AR-15 magazine compatibility with included 30-round capacity
Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F. The carbine-length gas system provides reliable cycling with both 55-grain and 77-grain ammunition. Law enforcement agencies report minimal maintenance requirements during extended training cycles. The 16-inch barrel length meets federal requirements while delivering effective range capabilities to 500 yards with appropriate optics.
