Shark Coast Tactical 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Shark Coast Tactical 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle is a modern direct impingement platform purpose-built for tactical professionals, law enforcement, and serious sport shooters who demand reliability and accuracy in a compact, fighting-weight package. With a 16-inch barrel and threaded muzzle, this rifle delivers the ballistic performance of the 5.56 NATO cartridge in a platform optimized for close-quarters and mid-range engagements. The 31-round capacity supports extended tactical operations without frequent magazine changes, making it ideal for home defense, patrol, or competition environments where reliability matters.

The threaded barrel design enables attachment of suppressors, compensators, or flash hiders, giving operators the flexibility to tailor muzzle signature and recoil management to their specific mission profile. The 16-inch barrel length provides a velocity sweet spot—sufficient for effective 5.56 NATO terminal performance at distance while maintaining the agility of a carbine in tight spaces. At 8.2 pounds unloaded, the rifle balances firepower with shootability, minimizing fatigue during extended use or tactical movement. The modular design characteristic of modern Shark Coast Tactical platforms ensures compatibility with standard AR-pattern accessories, rails, and upgrades, allowing you to customize ergonomics, optics mounting, and controls to your requirements.

Law enforcement units, military personnel, and civilian shooters benefit most from this configuration—it's equally at home as a duty rifle, home-defense platform, or precision rifle sport tool. The 31-round magazine capacity and 5.56 NATO chambering make it practical for scenarios demanding sustained fire or extended engagements. Installation of muzzle devices, optics, and furniture is straightforward on standard AR platforms; ensure your chosen accessories feature proper 1/2x28 threads to match the barrel and verify compatibility with your local laws regarding barrel length and overall configuration before purchase.
