Shadow Systems U526 5.56 NATO 16" 10rd Rifle

The U526 is the Shadow Systems answer for a purpose built duty rifle. This all black version is chambered in 5.56 NATO, runs semi auto and holds 10 rounds. Recoil is meant to stay smooth and the rifle is meant to stay consistent over the long haul, and the barrel and gas system are where that starts. A 16 inch chrome lined barrel with a hybrid profile pairs with an intermediate gas system, which Shadow Systems tuned for a refined shooting impulse with a wide range of ammunition.

The handguard mounts through a rigid interface so it stays put under load, and its M-LOK slots take lights, grips and other accessories. A Picatinny rail runs along the receiver for an optic. Shadow Systems makes its own furniture, rail, trigger and controls for this rifle, with the goal of predictable performance from the first shot to the last. The stock and grip are polymer, and the barrel and receiver are black.
