Shark Coast Tactical Anime-15 5.56 NATO 16" 30rd Bronze Rifle

Shark Coast Tactical finishes the Anime-15 receiver in bronze Cerakote and pairs it with a black nitride threaded barrel, which is where most of this rifle's character comes from. The barrel measures 16", the standard length for a 5.56 NATO carbine that stays out of the paperwork. A Picatinny rail runs across the top of the receiver and the handguard carries M-LOK slots down its length for a light, a sling mount or a bipod.

Furniture comes from Magpul: a collapsible stock and an MOE grip, both in black, which frame the bronze receiver instead of disappearing into it. It runs a 30 round magazine. Underneath the color work the layout is conventional, and that is a feature rather than a shortcoming, because every part on it is easy to source and easy to swap when a shooter wants a different stock or a heavier buffer. The threaded muzzle accepts a brake, a flash hider or a suppressor mount, and the receiver rail gives a long uninterrupted surface so a red dot or a magnified optic can be positioned where the shooter's eye actually lands.
