Colt EPR 7.62x39mm Semi-Auto Rifle 16.1" Barrel 30rd M-LOK

The Colt Enhanced Patrol Rifle (EPR) in 7.62x39mm delivers the proven reliability of the AR platform chambered in the versatile Soviet cartridge. This configuration bridges the gap between traditional AR-15 performance and the hard-hitting capabilities of the AK round.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 5.56 AR-15s, this EPR variant chambers the 7.62x39mm cartridge, providing 30% more kinetic energy at typical engagement distances. The enhanced bolt and barrel extension accommodate the larger case dimensions while maintaining AR ergonomics. Colt's manufacturing tolerances ensure reliable feeding with both steel-cased and brass ammunition.
