The APF Armory Carbine 2.0 (brand part no. RI238FDE) is a 5.56 NATO AR-15 rifle crafted in Alexandria, Minnesota, built to perform at the range, in the field, or in a tactical role with unrelenting reliability. Its 16-inch, 4150 stainless steel, nitride-coated barrel carries a 1/7 twist rate for exceptional accuracy and durability, while the 13.5-inch M-LOK handguard provides a rock-solid platform for optics, lights, or grips. The .750 mid-length gas system and nitride M16 bolt carrier group ensure smooth, consistent cycling, and the Butcher-16 muzzle brake tames recoil for fast follow-up shots. It suits competitors, hunters, and defenders who want a lightweight, fully American-made AR-15 finished in Flat Dark Earth Cerakote.
