Shark Coast Tactical Distressed 5.56 16-inch Rifle, Green Cerakote

The Shark Coast Tactical Distressed is a 5.56 NATO AR-15 (Shark Coast Tactical part no. 300-044-1000-14) finished with a Green Distressed Cerakote treatment over the aluminum receiver for a worn, purpose-built look that stands apart from a standard black rifle. It runs a 16-inch black Melonite-treated, threaded barrel with a 1:7-inch twist rate, giving it the stability to handle a wide range of 5.56 bullet weights. A full-length Picatinny top rail pairs with a free-float M-LOK handguard for mounting optics, lights, and other accessories wherever a shooter needs them. Magpul MOE SL furniture rounds out the build for a comfortable, reliable grip and stock setup. Feeding from a 30+1 capacity, this rifle is built for shooters who want a distinctive-looking, well-equipped 5.56 carbine ready for range use or home defense.
