Shadow Systems U526 5.56 NATO 16" 10rd FDE Rifle

Shadow Systems calls the U526 a duty rifle, built for shooters who care about smooth recoil, consistent behavior and reliability over the long haul. It is a semi auto in 5.56 NATO with a 16 inch barrel and a 10 round capacity. An intermediate gas system works with a hybrid profile, chrome lined barrel, and Shadow Systems says the pair gives a refined shooting impulse across a wide range of ammunition.

This one is dressed in flat dark earth. The receiver, the polymer stock and the grip are all FDE, and the barrel is black. A Picatinny rail on the receiver takes your optic, and the handguard offers M-LOK slots for lights and other accessories, joined to the receiver at a rigid interface that holds steady under load. Shadow Systems makes its own furniture, rail, trigger and controls for the U526 instead of pulling them from other brands, so every one of those parts is built to work with the rest of the rifle.
