Springfield Saint Victor 5.56 NATO 16" CA Compliant 10-Round Rifle

The Springfield Saint Victor 5.56 NATO rifle delivers reliable performance in a California-compliant configuration designed for restricted markets. This 16-inch barrel rifle combines proven direct impingement operation with modern features that serious shooters demand. Built to handle both recreational shooting and tactical applications, the Saint Victor maintains Springfield's reputation for quality while meeting stringent state requirements.

What Makes This Different

The Saint Victor stands apart from basic AR-15 platforms through its enhanced trigger guard, upgraded furniture, and precision-machined components. Unlike standard mil-spec rifles, this model features a nickel boron-coated bolt carrier group that reduces friction and cleaning time. The mid-length gas system provides smoother cycling compared to carbine-length alternatives, resulting in reduced felt recoil and improved reliability across various ammunition weights.

Key Features

• 16-inch chrome moly vanadium barrel with 1:8 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
• California-compliant configuration with 10-round magazine capacity
• Mid-length gas system with low-profile adjustable gas block
• Nickel boron-coated bolt carrier group for enhanced durability and easier maintenance
• Free-floating M-LOK handguard with multiple attachment points
• Springfield Armory enhanced trigger guard and safety selector
• Six-position collapsible stock with enhanced buttpad

Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy with various 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington loads, typically achieving sub-2 MOA groups with quality ammunition. The mid-length gas system cycles reliably with both 55-grain and 77-grain projectiles, making it suitable for competitive shooting, hunting applications, and defensive scenarios. Weather-resistant finishes protect critical components during extended outdoor use, while the free-floating handguard maintains zero even under thermal stress.
