The Shark Coast Tactical Holmes 5.56 NATO rifle (brand part no. 300-063-1000-04) is a complete AR-15 pattern build from Shark Coast Tactical, pairing a 16-inch black nitride threaded barrel with a full-length M-LOK handguard for mounting lights, grips, and optics. The aluminum receiver set carries a Picatinny rail for optics, and the rifle ships with a Magpul collapsible stock and Magpul MOE grip for a solid, ergonomic hold. With 30+1 capacity, it’s built as a ready-to-run rifle rather than a parts-built project gun. Among AR rifles, the Holmes suits range shooters and home-defense buyers who want a complete, name-brand AR without sourcing individual components.
