The ATI Alpha Maxx 5.56 NATO rifle (brand part no. ATIGAX5569ML) from American Tactical is a semi-automatic AR-pattern rifle with a 16-inch barrel and a 9-inch M-LOK handguard. The shorter handguard keeps the front end light and compact while still giving you M-LOK slots for a light or grip. A 1:8 barrel twist and flip-up front and rear sights come standard, and it feeds from a 30-round magazine. It is built for range sessions, training and home defense.
