The 16&#8243; model pairs a free-floated cold hammer-forged barrel with a mid-length gas system \u2014 smoother than a carbine-length system \u2014 a 13.5&#8243; M-LOK handguard, and B5 Systems Bravo stock and grip.<\/p>\n<h3>Ruger Elite 452 Two-Stage Trigger<\/h3>\n<p>The two-stage Ruger Elite 452 AR-Trigger delivers a crisp 4.5 lb break with a clean first stage and a predictable wall. It is a factory-installed upgrade over the mil-spec single-stage \u2014 you get a match-style trigger at no additional cost.<\/p>\n<h3>Mid-Length Gas System<\/h3>\n<p>A mid-length gas system runs cooler and softer than the standard carbine-length gas, reducing wear on the bolt and carrier and improving the shooting experience. Paired with the free-floated barrel, recoil is noticeably smoother and controlled.<\/p>\n<h3>Free-Float M-LOK Handguard<\/h3>\n<p>The 13.5&#8243; &#8220;Lite&#8221; handguard is a full-length free-float tube with M-LOK slots for accessories. Because it does not touch the barrel, the barrel&#8217;s harmonics stay consistent and groups stay tight.<\/p>\n<h3>Ruger Radial-Port Muzzle Brake<\/h3>\n<p>A Ruger radial-port muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, keeping you on target between shots. The 1\/2&#8243;-28 thread accepts most aftermarket muzzle devices or suppressors.<\/p>\n<h3>Premium Components Included<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ruger Elite 452 two-stage AR-Trigger, ~4.5 lb<\/li>\n<li>Free-float 13.5&#8243; M-LOK handguard<\/li>\n<li>Mid-length gas system<\/li>\n<li>Ruger radial-port muzzle brake<\/li>\n<li>B5 Systems Bravo stock and grip<\/li>\n<li>Forged 7075-T6 receivers, M4 feed ramps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>Action<\/th>\n<td>Semi-auto, direct impingement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Caliber<\/th>\n<td>5.56 NATO \/ .223 Rem<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Barrel length<\/th>\n<td>16.10&#8243;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Barrel material<\/th>\n<td>Cold hammer forged 4140 chrome-moly, free-floated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Twist rate<\/th>\n<td>1:8&#8243; RH<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Muzzle thread<\/th>\n<td>1\/2&#8243;-28 (radial-port brake included)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Gas system<\/th>\n<td>Mid-length<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Upper \/ lower<\/th>\n<td>Forged 7075-T6 aluminum, Type III hard-coat anodized, M4 feed ramps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Trigger<\/th>\n<td>Ruger Elite 452 two-stage AR-Trigger, ~4.5 lb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Handguard<\/th>\n<td>13.5&#8243; free-float M-LOK<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Stock \/ grip<\/th>\n<td>B5 Systems Bravo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<td>~6.5 lb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mid-length gas AR-15 in .223 Rem \/ 5.56 NATO with a 16.1&#8243; free-floated cold hammer-forged barrel, Ruger Elite 452 two-stage trigger, 13.5&#8243; M-LOK handguard, and B5 Systems Bravo furniture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":749021,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[16232],"product_cat":[14217,263,406,219,14210],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-748976","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-ruger","7":"product_cat-ar-15-rifles","8":"product_cat-carbines","9":"product_cat-licensed","10":"product_cat-rifle","11":"product_cat-semi-automatic-rifles","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"sale","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/748976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/749021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=748976"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=748976"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbg.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=748976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
