American Tactical Alpha Maxx, Semi-automatic Rifle, 5.56 NATO, 16″ Threaded Barrel, 9″ M-LOK Handguard

Product Description

The American Tactical Alpha Maxx is a semi-automatic rifle in 5.56 NATO with a 16″ threaded barrel. It has a polymer receiver, a synthetic stock, and a matte black finish. The controls are ambidextrous, so left-handed and right-handed shooters can run it the same way.

The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 at the muzzle, so you can fit a compatible muzzle device. The handguard is 9″ long and uses M-LOK slots. That gives you a simple way to mount a light, a sling attachment, a vertical grip, or other M-LOK accessories without swapping the handguard. The rifle also comes with flip-up sights and an adjustable stock, so you can shoot it right away and adjust the fit to your build.

Who it fits

This rifle suits a buyer who wants a standard-length 5.56 NATO carbine to build on. It works for range practice, training classes, and home defense. The 30-round capacity keeps reloads down during a drill or a long session.

Common add-ons include a red dot or magnified optic, a weapon light, a two-point sling, and extra 30-round magazines. Pick a muzzle device that matches the 1/2×28 threads. Stock up on 5.56 NATO ammunition for the range.
