Rock River Arms LAR-15 A2 Mid 5.56 16-inch Rifle, 30-Round

The Rock River Arms LAR-15 A2 Mid is a 5.56 NATO carbine (Rock River Arms part no. AR1296) built around a forged A2 upper receiver for shooters who want a classic, no-frills AR-15 with a few useful upgrades. It’s fitted with a 16-inch chrome moly barrel and a 1:9-inch twist rate, a combination well suited to standard-weight 5.56 bullets. A two-stage trigger gives shooters a cleaner, more controlled break than a typical single-stage mil-spec trigger, while the A2 front sight post provides a reliable mechanical zero. The six-position collapsible buttstock lets shooters adjust length of pull for different body types or armor setups, and the rifle ships with a magazine so it’s ready to run as soon as it arrives. It’s a dependable, straightforward carbine for range use, training, or home defense.
