The Black Rain BRO-20110401 delivers precision engineering in a billet-machined AR-15 platform chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. This rifle combines aerospace-grade aluminum construction with tactical aesthetics, featuring an OD Green Cerakote finish that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard anodizing.
What Makes This Different
Billet construction starts with a solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum, resulting in tighter tolerances and enhanced structural integrity versus forged receivers. The proprietary machining process eliminates weak points found in traditional manufacturing methods. Black Rain's quality control standards ensure each receiver meets mil-spec dimensions while exceeding commercial durability requirements.
Key Features
- Billet 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers with enhanced rigidity
- 16-inch barrel optimized for 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington cartridges
- OD Green Cerakote finish rated for 2,400+ hours salt spray resistance
- MFT Minimalist Stock with 6-position carbine buffer tube compatibility
- Black MFT Engage pistol grip with aggressive texturing
- 30-round magazine capacity with STANAG compatibility
- Picatinny rail system for optics and accessory mounting
Field performance centers on the 16-inch barrel length, which provides optimal velocity for 5.56 NATO ammunition while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces. The billet construction dampens vibration better than forged alternatives, contributing to consistent accuracy potential. Law enforcement agencies and competitive shooters recognize the platform's reliability in adverse conditions, with the Cerakote finish maintaining appearance and function through extended use cycles.
