Bushmaster QRC II Pro 5.56 NATO 16" 11-Round Threaded Barrel Carbine

The Bushmaster QRC II Pro 5.56 NATO 16" 11-Round Threaded Barrel Carbine (SKU 156117) represents the modern evolution of one of America's most trusted modular rifle platforms. Purpose-built for law enforcement, military training, and civilian tactical applications, this carbine balances precision, ergonomics, and modularity in a compact, field-proven package. The 16-inch barrel and 11-round magazine capacity make it ideal for close-quarters operations, home defense scenarios, and training environments where maneuverability without sacrificing effective range is essential.

The threaded barrel design enables seamless suppressor integration and allows shooters to adapt muzzle devices—critical for noise mitigation in tactical operations and noise-sensitive training facilities. Bushmaster's QRC II Pro platform incorporates Picatinny rail systems for optic mounting and accessory integration, giving operators the flexibility to configure the carbine for mission-specific requirements. At 8.6 pounds unloaded, the rifle maintains a responsive handling profile while providing the mechanical accuracy and reliability demanded by professionals. The 5.56 NATO chamber ensures compatibility with the most widely available military-standard ammunition and allows access to a vast ecosystem of loadings for different engagement distances and ballistic requirements.

This carbine benefits operators conducting room-clearing drills, vehicle-mounted operations, and training courses where the 41.2-inch overall length delivers superior balance to shorter platforms without compromising compact handling. Law enforcement trainers and military personnel value the QRC II Pro's proven track record for reliability across extended training cycles and multiple shooter profiles. The modular design supports upper and lower receiver customization, allowing agencies and individual operators to maintain standardized platforms while tailoring ergonomics and accessory configurations to specific operational needs. Installation of suppressors, compensators, or flash hiders requires only standard gunsmithing tools compatible with standard AR-15 platform maintenance procedures.
