When a defensive rifle needs to balance military-grade components with an accessible price point, it’s essential to pick a platform that doesn’t cut corners. Practical applications — from range training to home defense — demand reliability, straightforward maintenance, and parts commonality with mil-spec gear.

ATI MILSPORT is built to deliver a true Mil-Spec experience at a budget-friendly price. This 5.56 NATO semi-auto comes with a 30-round capacity, a 16″ 1:8 phosphate barrel fitted with an A2 flash hider, forged aluminum upper and lower receivers, a 15″ M-LOK rail, and a 6-position M4 rear stock. It ships complete with one 30-round magazine and is fully warrantied.

Key features that matter

Caliber and ballistics

The platform is chambered in 5.56 NATO, a proven caliber with wide ammo availability, manageable recoil and effective terminal performance inside typical defensive engagement ranges. The 1:8 twist rate is versatile for stabilizing a broad weight range of bullets, making it suitable for both training and duty-style use.

Barrel, muzzle device and accuracy

The 16″ phosphate barrel offers durability and corrosion resistance. Coupled with the A2 flash hider, the rifle maintains a familiar profile for shooters used to military-style weapons and helps control muzzle signature during rapid strings of fire.

Receivers, rail and stock

Forged aluminum upper and lower receivers bring true Mil-Spec geometry for parts interchangeability and long-term service. A 15″ M-LOK rail provides modular attachment points for lights, grips and optics mounts while the 6-position M4 rear stock gives quick length-of-pull adjustments for different shooters and gear configurations.
