Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 Forged AR 5.56 NATO Black Rifle

The Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 Forged AR Rifle is a 5.56 NATO semi-automatic rifle built around forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers with a black Type 3 hard-anodized finish. Its 16-inch nitride-treated 4150 chrome moly vanadium barrel uses a government profile and a 1:8 twist rate for dependable performance with a broad range of bullet weights. A carbine-length gas system, low-profile gas block, 12-inch M-LOK handguard, A2-style pistol grip, and six-position collapsible stock provide a familiar and adaptable platform.
