The fusion of a precision-guided fire-control system with a proven AR platform marks a meaningful step for tactical shooters who demand repeatable hits at extended ranges. The TP AR 556 brings that capability to a compact, field-ready package while retaining the handling and robustness operators expect from a modern M4-style rifle.

TP AR 556 — built on a Daniel Defense M4 V7-style platform with TrackingPoint guidance — pairs a cold hammer-forged 16″ 1:7 twist barrel and a modular rail system to deliver stability, modularity and precision in one platform.

Platform and build quality

This lightly used TP AR 556 is built on a mil-spec Daniel Defense upper and lower, featuring the Modular Float Rail 12.0 and a low-profile gas block. The 16″ barrel is cold hammer-forged with a 1:7 twist rate—ideal for stabilizing heavier 69–70 gr. projectiles specified for the TrackingPoint guidance system. Weight with the optic sits just over 10 pounds, reflecting the added electronics and rugged hardware.

Precision-guided mechanics and ammunition

TrackingPoint’s PGF mechanics require tight tolerances and specific ammunition to achieve the system’s advertised consistency. This model is optimized for 69 gr. Barnes MatchBurner or 70 gr. Barnes TSX XactShot loads in 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem, letting shooters exploit the platform’s ballistic solution and hit-assist features. Using the recommended ammo range ensures the fire-control algorithms match the rifle’s ballistics envelope for maximum first-round effectiveness.

Accessories and configuration

This package includes a hard case, bi-pod, instruction manuals, three batteries with a charger, eye cover, and fixed sights. Note the listing specifies a 10-round capacity magazine included, and the platform is compatible with Magpul 30-round magazines used on later units. The hard case and spares make this a ready-to-deploy solution for training or mission-oriented use.

Why the combination matters

Pairing TrackingPoint guidance with Daniel Defense craftsmanship brings proven AR ergonomics together with advanced fire-control logic. For shooters focused on repeatable precision with 5.56 NATO, the TP AR 556 represents a unique niche: an AR-platform rifle that emphasizes true first-round effectiveness at practical engagement distances.
