RIFLES Descriptions

Battle Arms Xiphos 9 Rifle 16in 9MM Combat Gray

The BATTLEARMS XIPHOS series of firearms are designed from the ground up and purpose-built as the next generation, blow-back AR-style pistol caliber carbine. The heart of the rifle is the billet BAD-GS 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminum receiver and free-float rail handguard with M-LOK attachment points at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. At 12 o’clock is a full-length Picatinny accessory rail with our signature notch cut matching the upper receiver. Every firearm is equipped with a 4150 chrome-moly steel barrel and 8620 steel black nitride blow-back bolt for ultimate reliability and ease of cleaning. Each rifle is built with our patented 9mm buffer system that reduces weight, felt recoil and wear. Raising the bar even higher, every XIPHOS is outfitted with the new industry standard-setting RACK ambidextrous charging handle with monolithic handle and smooth side sliding latch that is built to take abuse. It is loaded with numerous enhanced components such as our extended magazine release, enhanced takedown/pivot pins for easy tool-less breakdown, one-piece magazine catch, enhanced bolt catch, user-adjustable three-position pistol grip, and enhanced single side safety. The XIPHOS series PCC is the ultimate pistol caliber firearm for defense, duty or competition.

RUGER AR-556

This Ruger AR-556 is an affordable, American-made semi-automatic modern sporting rifle with rugged reliability. It features a milled gas block, a telescoping M4-style butt-stock, and an ergonomic pistol grip with extended trigger reach. The flattop upper is forged from aerospace-grade aluminum, includes a forward assist, dust cover and brass deflector, and is hard coat anodized for durability, while a built-in rail makes for the easy addition of optics and accessories. The medium contoured barrel is cold hammer-forged from chrome-moly steel for longevity and easy cleaning. Heat-resistant, glass-filled nylon handguards aid in comfort and durability, and the single-stage trigger, with enlarged trigger guard for gloved shooting, assists with reliable fire control. This rifle is suitable for target shooting, home defense, and hunting.
