The Windham Weaponry SRC R16FTTC is a semi-automatic carbine rifle designed for tactical and sporting purposes. It is manufactured in the USA by Windham Weaponry, a company that was formed by former employees of Bushmaster Firearms International after the latter was acquired by Remington Arms in 2006.
The SRC in the name stands for "Sight Ready Carbine", which means that the rifle comes equipped with a front post sight and a detachable rear sight. The R16FTTC model also features a flat top receiver with a Picatinny rail for mounting optics or accessories.
The carbine is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, which makes it compatible with both commercial .223 Remington and military 5.56mm ammunition. It has a 16-inch M4 profile chrome-lined barrel with a 1:9" twist rate, which can stabilize bullets up to 69 grains in weight. The barrel also has an A2 flash hider at the muzzle to reduce muzzle flash and a bayonet lug for mounting a bayonet. The overall length of the carbine is 36.125 inches and the weight is 6.3 pounds.
The upper and lower receivers of the rifle are made from forged 7075 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, which provides strength and durability without adding weight. The lower receiver has a standard AR-15 type trigger group with a mil-spec trigger and hammer. The safety selector switch is located above the pistol grip on the left side of the receiver, and the magazine release button is on the right side of the receiver above the trigger guard. The bolt carrier group is chrome-lined and has a staked gas key to prevent loosening during use.
The rifle comes with a 30-round magazine and a hard plastic carrying case. It has a black anodized finish on the receivers and a black polymer stock and handguard. The stock is a six-position collapsible design that allows the length of pull to be adjusted for different shooters or shooting positions. The handguard has a double heat shield to protect the shooter's hands from the heat generated by sustained firing.
Overall, the Windham Weaponry SRC R16FTTC is a reliable, accurate, and versatile carbine rifle that is suitable for a variety of applications. Its high-quality construction, ruggedness, and compatibility with AR-15 accessories and parts make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a quality AR-type rifle.
