Rra Lar-15 A2 5.56 NATO 16" 30-Round Carbine

The Rock River Arms LAR-15 A2 CAR 5.56 NATO 16" 30-round carbine is a semi-automatic AR-pattern rifle built to meet the needs of shooters who demand reliability across training, law enforcement, and civilian defense scenarios. With its carbine-length gas system and A2 upper receiver configuration, this rifle delivers the balance of control and simplicity that professionals have relied on for decades.

The 16-inch barrel optimizes velocity in the 5.56 NATO cartridge while maintaining the compact footprint essential for vehicle work, tactical entries, and close-quarters training. The carbine-length gas system reduces felt recoil and cycles reliably across a range of ammunition types. The A2 front sight provides a proven aiming reference without battery dependency, and the two-stage trigger offers the crisp, predictable break that separates intentional shooting from spray-and-pray. A 6-position collapsible stock allows rapid length-of-pull adjustment for different shooting positions and gear configurations, while the anodized black finish resists corrosion during storage and field operations.

This rifle is designed for shooters who value simplicity and proven ergonomics over trend-chasing. LEOs working patrol duty, military personnel conducting marksmanship qualification, and civilian operators prioritizing functional reliability will find the LAR-15 A2 CAR an uncomplicated platform that runs when called upon. The 30-round magazine capacity and straightforward controls make this carbine equally effective for range training, duty application, or home defense. Rock River Arms LAR-15 rifles are engineered to strict tolerances and have earned recognition within professional and competitive shooting communities for their accuracy and durability.

The 5.56 NATO cartridge delivers a flat trajectory, manageable recoil, and consistent performance across distances from close work to 300+ yards. For shooters building an AR platform or seeking a documented, purpose-built carbine, the LAR-15 A2 CAR represents a direct-action choice with the modularity to accept standard AR-15 aftermarket parts and accessories.
