Design and Construction

The DEL-TON ECHO 316M is built on a 7075-T6 aluminum receiver set and features a 16″ mid-contour barrel chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO with a 1:8 twist. The choice of 7075-T6 gives solid receiver rigidity without excessive weight, and the mid-contour barrel balances heat dissipation and handling for tactical drills and range work.

Handguard, Sights, and Controls

This rifle includes a 15″ M-LOK free-float handguard with single heat shields, providing ample modular mounting options for lights, grips, and rail sections while maintaining a consistent barrel harmonics profile for accuracy. The A2 flash hider and dual-aperture rear sight deliver familiar, service-style controls, and the Mil-Spec M4 5-position stock allows quick length-of-pull adjustments for different shooting positions and body armor configurations.

Magazine and Safety Accessories

The ECHO 316M ships with one 30-round magazine and a gun lock, ensuring you have the basics for practice sessions and secure storage. Priced at $429.99 and listed in the Semi Auto category, it represents an entry-level to mid-range option with solid factory components.

The 5.56x45mm NATO chambering is advantageous for tactical and defensive applications: it offers manageable recoil for quick follow-up shots, wide ammunition availability, and proven terminal performance when paired with appropriate defensive loads. For training, its low recoil and common calibers make regular practice economical.

Whether you’re building a training rig or selecting a baseline duty-style rifle, Del-Ton’s reputation for practical, value-oriented builds makes this model noteworthy for shooters who prioritize modularity and familiar ergonomics.
