Build and Barrel: Service-Proven Components

The SRC uses a 16″ M4 profile, chrome-lined barrel with M4 feed ramps and an A2 flash suppressor—features aimed at longevity and reliable feeding. The chrome-moly-vanadium 4150 barrel and Carpenter 158 steel bolt are materials commonly found on duty guns, and the hardcoat black anodized finish on the forged lower helps resist wear. Listed specifics include an overall length of 36.125″ and a weight of 6.3 lb, making the rifle easy to handle while remaining stable for follow-up shots. Price is listed at $682.99, which positions this model competitively among mid-range tactical rifles.

Operating System and Accuracy Considerations

The gas impingement system in the SRC delivers a familiar recoil impulse and simple parts compatibility with many AR-style components. Caliber is listed as .223 Rem / 5.56mm NATO—both common choices for defensive and training use. The barrel twist is cataloged as Twist 19, and the chrome-lining aids in corrosion resistance and service life, useful for high-round-count training and duty use.

Ergonomics, Controls, and Accessory Readiness

Ergonomically the SRC is set up for practical use: a six-position telescoping buttstock, A2 black plastic pistol grip, M4 double heat shield handguards, Picatinny rail gas block, aluminum trigger guard, adjustable sights, and a manual lever safety with indicator markings. These features make the platform ready for optics, lights, and other mission-specific accessories. Capacity is shown as 301 and will be dependent on local magazine options and legal limits.
