Springfield Saint 5.56mm Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Semi-Automatic Rifle

Overview

The Springfield Saint 5.56mm Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Semi-Automatic Rifle is a direct descendant of the proven Saint series, engineered for reliability and accuracy straight from the factory. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, this rifle features a durable FDE Cerakote finish on both the upper and lower receivers, providing corrosion resistance and a low-visibility profile. Built on a forged 7075 T6 aluminum receiver set, the Saint FDE delivers consistent performance for range use, home defense, or professional applications. Each rifle is assembled in the United States with a 16-inch chrome-moly vanadium barrel, a mid-length gas system, and a Bravo Company pistol grip for enhanced ergonomics. This model is ready to run with iron sights included and a Mil-Spec trigger group that breaks cleanly at approximately six pounds.

Features & Specs

The Springfield Saint 5.56mm Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Semi-Automatic Rifle is built around a 16-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights from 55 to 77 grains. The mid-length gas system reduces recoil impulse and improves reliability over carbine-length systems, while the full-length Picatinny top rail allows for easy optic mounting. The FDE finish extends to the carbine-length handguard, which features M-Lok attachment points for lights, grips, or bipods. Key specifications include a six-position collapsible buttstock, a Mil-Spec bolt carrier group with a shot-peened carrier, and an overall weight of 6.5 pounds unloaded. The rifle ships with one 30-round Magpul PMAG magazine.
