Faxon ARAK-21 XRS 5.56 16 XRS Rifle

The Faxon ARAK-21 XRS 5.56 16-inch rifle is a modern piston-driven platform designed for shooters who prioritize reliability, accuracy, and low maintenance in challenging field conditions. This rifle is built on the proprietary ARAK architecture, offering the proven ergonomics and modularity of the AR platform while incorporating the benefits of short-stroke piston operation. It is suitable for tactical operations, precision training, and home defense scenarios.

The short-stroke piston design of the ARAK-21 XRS significantly reduces heat and fouling in the upper receiver compared to traditional direct impingement rifles. This results in extended service intervals and cleaner operation during sustained fire. The rifle's 16-inch barrel provides an optimal velocity-to-maneuverability ratio, making it effective for both close-quarters and intermediate-range engagements.

With its refined ergonomic controls, improved charging handle geometry, and optimized gas system tuning, the XRS designation enhances the shooter's experience by minimizing recoil impulse and allowing for faster target reacquisition. Law enforcement, military professionals, and civilian shooters seeking a duty-grade rifle with a reduced maintenance burden will find the Faxon ARAK-21 XRS to be an excellent choice.
