The Springfield Armory SA-16 A2 in 5.56x45mm NATO (MPN SA920556B-A2) is a semi-automatic AR-15 built to the classic A2 configuration, pairing a 4150 CMV chrome-lined 20-inch barrel with a 1:7 twist rate. Springfield Armory builds the forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower with Type III hard-coat anodizing, an Accu-Tite tension system, forward assist, and M4 feed ramps. The enhanced M16 bolt carrier group uses a 9310 steel bolt with HPT/MPI testing and a phosphate finish, running through a direct-impingement, rifle-length gas system with an A2 pinned gas block. An A2 polymer handguard with an integral heat shield, A2 fixed stock, and A2 flash hider complete the classic profile, and the rifle wears A2 front and rear sights on a mil-spec trigger. It feeds from one included GI aluminum 30-round magazine. Among AR-platform rifles in the AR rifles category, the SA-16 A2 favors shooters and collectors who want a classic fixed-stock, carry-handle-era rifle profile.
