Black Rain BRO-20102901 Billet AR-15 5.56 NATO 16" FDE Cerakote

The Black Rain BRO-20102901 delivers precision-machined reliability in a lightweight billet platform designed for demanding applications. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle combines aerospace-grade construction with mission-ready durability. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining a professional appearance.

What Makes This Different

Billet construction offers tighter tolerances than forged alternatives, resulting in improved accuracy and consistent lockup. The precision-machined upper and lower receivers eliminate material inconsistencies found in standard manufacturing processes. This rifle achieves sub-MOA potential with quality ammunition, outperforming many rifles in its class.
