Springfield Armory Saint Edge 5.56x45mm Nato 16 in 30+1 Melonite Hardcoat

The Springfield Armory SAINT Edge (model STE916556B) is a fast-handling 5.56x45mm NATO semi-auto rifle that brings premium, near-custom AR performance to serious shooters and tactical users, featuring a 16" 1:8 twist CMV Melonite-treated lightweight barrel, SA multiport muzzle brake and a patent-pending full-length free-float handguard for greater accuracy and controllable recoil during rapid strings of fire; at just over 6 lbs the Edge's billet 7075 T6 receiver with lightening cuts, Accu-Tite tension system and forged Type III hard coat anodized upper deliver a rigid, rattle-free platform for duty, competition or defensive roles. The rifle's mid-length adjustable gas block, enhanced M16 BCG with shot peening and MPI testing, and Springfield's modular match short-reset trigger produce reliable, consistent function and a crisp trigger press ideal for precision work or follow-up shots, while the Bravo Company Mod 0 SOPMOD stock, Mod 3 grip and flared mag well aid ergonomics and reload speed. With flip-up front and rear sights, ambidextrous safety lever, carbine “H” heavy tungsten buffer and Magpul PMag compatibility, the SAINT Edge is suited for range training, 3-gun, patrol duty or personal defense and requires FFL transfer.
