Shadow Systems U526 5.56 NATO 16" 30rd FDE Rifle

The Shadow Systems U526 is a purpose built 16 inch duty rifle in 5.56 NATO, made for shooters who want smooth recoil, consistency and long term reliability. Shadow designed it as a complete system, not a parts bin assembly. An intermediate gas system works with a hybrid profile, chrome lined barrel to give a refined shooting impulse across a wide range of ammunition.

The furniture, rail, trigger and controls are Shadow's own proprietary parts, built to work together as one system. The M-LOK handguard has a rigid interface that stays stable under load, and the bolt carrier group is DLC coated. This version wears FDE and black, and two 30 round magazines come with it. The result is a semi auto rifle that balances accuracy, durability and control in a light, hard use package. Shadow describes it as a rifle built to run predictably when conditions and expectations are high.
