The APF AR15 Carbine 2.0 5.56 NATO Black (brand part no. RI238) is a 16-inch 5.56 NATO carbine built by APF Armory in Alexandria, Minnesota. Billet upper and lower receivers hold a 16-inch 4150 stainless steel barrel with a nitride coating and a 1:7 twist, and a .750 mid-length gas system runs a nitride M16 bolt carrier group. A Butcher-16 muzzle brake tames recoil, a 13.5-inch M-LOK handguard carries your accessories, and a Magpul MOE SL adjustable stock and MOE grip finish the ergonomics. APF lists the rifle at about 6.5 pounds with a 30-round magazine, so it suits range days, competition and home defense.
