Bushmaster 0010017BLK QRC 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Carbine

The Bushmaster QRC 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Carbine is a purpose-built direct impingement rifle engineered for law enforcement, military, and civilian tactical applications where reliability and modularity are non-negotiable. This mid-length carbine delivers the balance of velocity, handling, and controllability that makes it effective from close quarters to intermediate distances.

Built on Bushmaster's time-tested direct impingement system, this 5.56 NATO carbine features a 16-inch barrel that provides optimal muzzle velocity while maintaining maneuverability in tight spaces—critical for entry teams and vehicle operations. The rifle ships with a 31-round magazine, standard capacity for modern tactical carbines, and a modular rail system that accepts industry-standard optics, lights, and accessories without proprietary adapters.

At 8.35 pounds unloaded, the QRC maintains a lightweight profile suitable for extended carry without introducing fatigue during dynamic shooting events. The flat-top receiver design and integrated Picatinny rail ensure co-witnessing of iron sights with your primary optic, a proven setup trusted by active duty and reserve components. Shooters across law enforcement, security operations, and civilian tactical communities benefit from this carbine's proven ergonomics and accuracy.
