Rock River Arms AR1222 LAR-15M CAR 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Carbine

The Rock River Arms AR1222 LAR-15M CAR 5.56 NATO 16" carbine represents a purpose-built platform trusted by law enforcement agencies and professional tactical operators. Designed for intermediate-range engagement and rapid follow-up shot capability, this carbine bridges the gap between compact maneuverability and combat effectiveness. The 16-inch barrel length provides an optimal balance of velocity, handling, and transportability in vehicle-based operations, building clearances, and close-quarters tactical scenarios where a full-length rifle becomes a liability.

Built on the proven AR-15 platform, the LAR-15M CAR features a modernized ergonomic design refined through real-world field testing. The modular furniture arrangement allows operators to customize controls, handguards, and optic mounting systems to mission-specific requirements without tools or gunsmithing. The 5.56 NATO chambering delivers reliable ballistics across standard military and commercial ammunition, while the 31-round magazine capacity ensures sustained engagement capability and faster target transitions in high-stress situations. At 17.3 pounds, the system maintains a practical weight distribution that reduces fatigue during extended operations without sacrificing structural rigidity or recoil management.

This carbine platform excels in tactical team deployments, security operations, and operators requiring a duty-grade AR variant with factory reliability and consistency. Law enforcement professionals and armed security personnel benefit from the Rock River Arms commitment to tight tolerances and mil-spec compliance, ensuring zero-to-zero compatibility with standard AR-15 optics, rail systems, and aftermarket components. The combination of accurate shooting capability, ergonomic controls, and proven durability makes the AR1222 LAR-15M CAR a trusted choice for agencies that demand accountability in critical incidents and consistent performance under pressure.
