Springfield Saint Description
Described by the manufacturer as a rifle “for the rugged individualist who appreciates the classics”, the Saint AR 15 offers nothing short of top-tier performance and rugged durability.
For superior ergonomics and enhanced shooting comfort, our focus model comes with military-grade B5 Systems furniture.
From its ergonomic cheekweld to its integrated QD sling mounts and no-slip cushioned buttpad, the B5 Systems Bravo Stock boasts a thoughtful design and rugged construction; and the composite B5 Systems Type-23 P-Grip on this Springfield Armory Saint rifle delivers enhanced ergonomics through its steep angle, extended tang and palm-filling design.
And then there’s the B5 Systems M-Lok® Handguard that is mid-length, ultra-slim and exceedingly tough. This handguard features built-in stamped metal heat shields, as well as ample M-Lok slots which empower you to customize your Springfield Saint with aftermarket accessories to fit your unique personality and enhance performance in the field.
The enlarged trigger guard that is made of polymer is also of B5 Systems construction.
This rifle goes ahead to feature a mid-length, direct gas impingement operating system which is lightweight and offers superlative reliability; a 16-inch chrome moly vanadium (CMV), Melonite-coated barrel which helps the Saint AR15 strike the perfect balance between compact portability and rugged performance; a low profile, adjustable flip-up rear sight; and an A2 front sight for better targeting. The traditional front sight base is unbreakable as well as foolproof.
Both the upper and lower receivers are forged from 7075 T6 aluminum and Type III hardcoat anodized, with the Springfield Saint upper featuring a forward assist and M4 feed ramps, and the lower featuring an Accu-Tite™ Tension System.
The GI-style charging handle is precision machined from an aluminum alloy with a hard anodized black finish; the trigger, also GI-style, is nickel-boron coated to protect it from damage and wear; and the single-side safety switch gives the shooter more control, minimizing the chances of an accidental discharge from the Springfield Armory Saint.
One (1) 30-Round Magpul® PMAG® Gen M3™ comes standard, as well as a rifle case for protection and convenient transport of the firearm.

Saint AR15 Additional Information
Operating System
Ideal for barrel lengths of 14 to 16 inches, the mid-length gas system featured on this rifle allows just enough gas for it to function reliably, as over gassing creates undue wear and tear, as well as unnecessary additional recoil. The direct gas impingement increases the accuracy of the Springfield Saint as the outstandingly reliable system limits recoil more effectively.
Bear in mind that direct gas AR-15 rifles works best when thoroughly lubricated.
Barrel Material
Chrome moly vanadium or CMV, the material used to construct the barrel of this firearm, is an alloy with a superior ability to mitigate heat and friction. As a result, the Saint AR 15 barrel may retain its accuracy longer than, say, a barrel made of stainless steel.
Barrel Finish
Both the barrel and bolt carrier group (BCG) of this rifle wear a Melonite® finish which not only has an attractive black look, but more importantly provides a higher level of heat and friction resistance. This finish also protects the Springfield Saint barrel from wear and corrosion.
Muzzle Device
The muzzle of the barrel sports an A2 Birdcage (5.56/.223) flash hider which function is to redirect the visible flash signature of the firearm to the side and away from the shooter’s line of sight; this is particularly useful for those who engage in nighttime operations as it helps to preserve night vision and promote faster follow-up shots with the Springfield Armory Saint in low light conditions.

Receiver Material
7075 T6 aluminum is a high-strength alloy commonly used in the aerospace and defense industries. Popular for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, it is an ideal material for applications where weight is a critical factor.
Because they have both been forged from this material, the upper and lower receivers of the Saint AR15 are lightweight, yet strong and durable.
Receiver Finish
Both receivers also wear a Type III hardcoat anodized finish which offers exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance and enhanced durability; and which, as a result of its greater material hardness and thicker oxide layers, is ideal for use on components ot parts usually exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
Accu-Tite™ Tension System
The Springfield Saint lower receiver boasts the Accu-Tite™ Tension System which is a generous adjustable setscrew that ensures there is absolutely no play between it and the upper receiver for absolute accuracy.
Magazine
The 30-Round Magpul® PMAG® Gen M3™ featured on the Saint AR incorporates new material technology and manufacturing processes, offering enhanced strength, durability, and reliability that exceed rigorous military performance specifications.
Bear in mind that while the GEN M3 is optimized for Colt-spec AR15/M4 platforms, its modified internal and external geometry also permits use with a range of additional weapons like the HK® 416/MR556A1/M27 IAR, British SA-80, FN® SCAR™ MK 16/16S, etc.
Rifle Case
The rifle case shipped with every Springfield Saint features a foam shell and adjustable interior Velcro straps which ensure the rifle and any mounted optics are adequately protected during transportation. Also present on the case are two exterior magazine pouches, and these accommodate standard pattern AR-15 magazines.

“Nice quality rifle. I’ve only shot a few rounds through it(ammo scarcity) but it was very nice to shoot. Low recoil, smooth trigger. Accurate with a cheapy AR scope. Shot the steel cased ammo without any problems. I would recommend this firearm to family and friends.”
