Bushmaster Patrolman 5.56 16" 10+1 Blk

The Bushmaster Patrolman 5.56 16" 10+1 Black is a purpose-built rifle for patrol, training, and law enforcement applications where reliability and compliance with magazine restrictions are paramount. Designed for agencies and operators working in jurisdictions with capacity limitations, this 5.56 NATO platform delivers the proven performance of the AR platform in a practical, configurable package. Whether deployed for duty or used as a duty-grade training rifle, the Patrolman combines Bushmaster's manufacturing heritage with straightforward, mission-ready ergonomics.

This rifle features a 16-inch barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO/223 Remington, delivering the ballistic performance and velocity needed for duty-distance engagements while keeping the overall profile at 32.5 inches—compact enough for vehicle transport and building entry. The aluminum receiver provides weight savings and corrosion resistance, while the matte black finish resists glint and reflectivity. Fixed front sight and carry handle rear sight configuration offer both backup aiming capability and a stable platform for mounting optics via the integrated Picatinny rail, a standard that field-proven patrol rifles depend on.

Law enforcement, reserve officers, and civilian patrol-minded shooters will appreciate the 10+1 capacity that aligns with restrictive state and local regulations while maintaining rapid reload capability. The collapsible stock allows shooters of varied builds to achieve proper cheek weld and eye relief, critical for consistent accuracy in dynamic scenarios. This rifle accepts standard AR-pattern magazines, ammunition, and aftermarket components, making it readily configurable for specific duty requirements—whether upgrading the trigger, adding tactical lighting, or refining the ergonomic package over time.
