The Colt AR-15 A4 20" 5.56 NATO rifle with carry handle is a semi-automatic platform built on the proven Colt pedigree—a no-nonsense choice for shooters who value reliability, accuracy, and straightforward ergonomics. The 20-inch government-profile barrel delivers the velocity and sight radius that made the A4 configuration a standard for sport and duty use. A fixed A2 stock provides a solid, predictable cheekweld, while the removable carry handle lets you transition to modern rail systems without losing the option to go traditional. This is a rifle that works out of the box and stays out of the way while you do your job, whether that's zeroing paper at the range, running competitions, or maintaining proficiency.
The sighting system is straightforward: an adjustable post front sight and a full-feature A2 rear sight with windage and elevation. That combination has proven itself in the field and on the range for decades. The 30+1 capacity and reliable manual safety put control squarely in your hands. The bird-cage flash hider keeps the muzzle signature moderate in indoor ranges or low-light drills, and the matte black finish resists corrosion without the glare of polished steel.
Colt's government-profile barrel is built for longevity and consistent performance across a wide range of commercial ammunition. The semi-automatic action is straightforward to maintain and familiar to anyone with basic AR platform knowledge. One magazine comes included, so you'll have ammunition capacity from the start.
