Bear Creek Arsenal BC-15 5.56 NATO 16" Rifle
The Bear Creek Arsenal BC-15 5.56 NATO 16" Rifle provides a rock-solid, affordable platform for target shooting, home defense, and tactical training. Machined from durable forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers, this complete AR-15 build offers precise fitment and long-term durability under heavy use.
At the heart of the setup is a 16-inch M4-contour barrel crafted from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and finished with a protective black Parkerized coating. The 1:7" twist rate stabilizes a wide spectrum of 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington projectile weights, from light 55-grain target loads to heavier 62-to-77-grain match ammunition. A mid-length gas system reduces felt recoil and bolt velocity compared to standard carbine systems, ensuring smoother cycling and extended component life.
The barrel is capped with a 1/2x28 threaded spiral flash hider and housed inside a 15-inch Talon M-LOK free-float split-rail handguard. This offers maximum accessory real estate for lights, lasers, and foregrips while free-floating the barrel for improved accuracy. Outfitted with an E9310 steel bolt carrier group, standard rear-charging handle, 6-position adjustable stock, A2 pistol grip, and a 30-round polymer magazine, this rifle is range-ready straight out of the box.
