When the Saints come marching in…

 

When the Saints come marching in…Springfield Saints that is.  Happy St. Paddy’s Day to all!  These Springfield Saint rifles have been a hard item to find of late.  Two landed in the shop this morning.  This is one of the better bangs for the buck on a not-so entry level…entry level rifle.  The SAINT’s flat top design is optics ready and includes a flip-up rear aperture sight and fixed A2-style front. The 16-inch Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel features a 1:8 twist rate to handle a wide range of bullet types. The operation of the M16 bolt carrier group is managed by a mid-length gas system paired with a heavy tungsten buffer, resulting in an exceptionally smooth action. A good shot starts with the trigger, so that’s why the SAINT features micro-polished and Nickel Boron treated components. While it offers the right pull weight for defensive use, you won’t feel it.

Unlike most defensive rifles in its price range, the SAINT includes top notch furniture designed to improve both shooting experience and operator performance. An all new, exclusive Bravo Company PKMT KeyMod handguard packs heat shields and flexible attachment points into a slim and easy to handle form factor. The Bravo Company buttstock is rattle-free and complemented by a Bravo pistol grip designed to improve defensive performance.

If you are in the market for a first AR platform rifle or just looking to add another nice weapon to your arsenal, these rifles are a great choice.  Come by the shop.  As always, thank you for reading the Blog at gunshinearms.com
