Bushmaster 0010002CA QRC Pro *CA Compliant 5.56x45mm NATO 16" 10+1 Black Rec/Barrel Bravo B5 6 Position Collapsible Stock Black B5 Grip Right Hand

The Bushmaster QRC Pro 5.56x45mm NATO 16-inch carbine with 10+1 capacity delivers a purpose-built platform engineered for tactical environments where fast target engagement and modularity matter. Built on a 7075-T6 forged aluminum A4 flat-top receiver, this California-compliant model combines proven ergonomics with current-generation component integration, making it suitable for patrol, training, and defensive applications where reliability and adaptability are non-negotiable.

The 16-inch barrel is crowned with an A2 birdcage-style flash hider, a proven design that reduces muzzle signature in low-light operations while maintaining velocity efficiency in the 5.56 NATO round. The KeyMod mid-length handguard provides a modern mounting platform for tactical accessories—lights, vertical grips, and optic risers—without adding unnecessary weight. At 8.6 pounds, the carbine balances controllability with the Bravo B5 6-position collapsible stock, allowing shooters to optimize length of pull for armor, tactical gear, or bare-shoulder shooting. The B5 Type 23 pistol grip offers a familiar angle and texture for natural point-of-aim and consistent trigger control.

This configuration targets law enforcement, reserve and auxiliary personnel, armed private security, and serious recreational shooters seeking a modular carbine platform that meets California's compliance requirements without compromising core functionality. The flat-top receiver accepts standard Picatinny rail-mounted optics, and the KeyMod interface integrates with a full ecosystem of aftermarket components for customization as mission requirements evolve.

The mid-length gas system paired with a 16-inch barrel represents a balanced compromise between velocity, recoil impulse, and practical handling in confined spaces. This carbine length falls within the sweet spot for most users training or operating in vehicle, building-entry, and outdoor-patrol scenarios where a full-size rifle becomes unwieldy.
