Great Lakes Firearms 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Stainless Rifle

The Great Lakes Firearms 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Stainless Rifle delivers reliable, modern firepower for law enforcement, military, and civilian tactical operators who demand dependable performance in the field. Designed to meet the proven 5.56 NATO standard, this rifle combines a manageable 16-inch barrel length with stainless steel construction for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Whether used for duty carry, training, or tactical operations, this platform bridges the gap between precision and practical ergonomics that professional operators require.

The stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to environmental corrosion compared to standard mil-spec finishes, making it ideal for humid climates, coastal operations, or extended field deployment. The 16-inch barrel strikes an optimal balance between velocity retention and handling characteristics—short enough for vehicle and close-quarters work, yet long enough to maximize muzzle velocity and effective range to 300+ meters. At 10.2 pounds unloaded, the rifle maintains manageable weight distribution for extended carry while supporting the 31-round magazine capacity for sustained engagement scenarios. The platform's proven architecture ensures compatibility with standard 5.56 NATO accessories, optics mounts, and aftermarket components essential to modern tactical configuration.

Law enforcement tactical teams, military unit personnel, and professional civilian operators benefit from this rifle's corrosion resistance and field-proven reliability. The 31-round capacity provides adequate ammunition reserves for high-threat scenarios without excessive weight penalties. Installation of optics, lights, and rail-mounted accessories follows standard Picatinny conventions, allowing rapid customization to mission requirements. This firearm requires FFL transfer and compliance with all federal, state, and local firearms regulations—consult your dealer for licensing requirements and purchase eligibility in your jurisdiction.
