TYPEA SPR16 GEN3 CARBINE RIFLE 135 HANDGUARD
This Carbine is available in 5.56 NATO or 300 Blackout. Please specify either or when ordering.
This platform is built on a 16" M4 Profile 41v50 barrel with a 1/2X38 thread pitch.
Our 16" Direct Impingement Rifle run a carbine gas system for reliability and consistency. Mid Gas Systems available as well.
All of our Bolt Carriers go through a R.E.M Polish process prior to nitride coating. The R.E.M Polish process reduces friction, improves part durability, improves oil retention, and improves contact & bending fatigue. Our Bolts are MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected) and coated in a durable nitride finish.
The SPR-16 rifle runs our TYPE-A SPR/13.5 GEN3 MLOK Handguard which allows the shooter to full advantage of hand placement.
Our pistols run a fully adjustable 45/90 degree short throw safety selector and an extended magazine release to give you that perfect feel. Our charging handle is fully Ambi giving you complete control from either side.
This rifle runs our TYPE-A PMC Two-Stage Trigger. Constructed from pre-hardened 4140 this trigger is coated in Nickel Teflon to fight against friction and to ensure lubricity. The PMC Two-Stage Trigger ships at 1 1/2 reset to 3 1/2 trigger pull.

Description

We had two things in mind when it came to redesigning the SPR GEN3 Platform; weight reduction and functionality.  Our first improvement started with functionality on the lower receiver components.  We moved away from standard mil-spec components, upgrading to a ambi billet adjustable 90°/45° short throw fire selector, extended billet magazine release, improved pivot/breakdown pins, and most importantly stainless steel detents/springs/roll pins/trigger pins/etc.  Our second functionality improvement came from the upper receiver and since we were on a mission to make this rifle semi ambidextrous, we decided to upgrade to a ambi charging handle.  The next upgrade came in the form of weight reduction on the font end.  We made some weight improvements on our all new GEN3 SPR/15 handguard by opening up the offsets to accept M-LOK attachments and off-setting an optional 45° QD M-LOK insert towards the backend of the handguard.  The last upgrade was to improve the overall gas flow by making improvements to our gas management system from front to back.

This TYPE-A SPR-16 GEN3 is built on a ridged Carbine rifle platform with improved lower components to make it an incredibly versatile rifle. The SPR-16 Carbine is equipped with a 16″ QPQ vanadium alloy steel barrel (for weight reduction), an improved SPR/13.5 GEN3 MLOK Handguard with a SILENCERCO ASR muzzle to give it that aggressive stance. Fully furnished with B5 furniture, and 30 round capacity magazines. The TYPE-A SPR-16 Carbine Rifles is driven by our TYPE-A QPQ coated bolt carrier group w/R.E.M. Polish.  It’s also equipped with a DGI (direct gas impingement) system and our new TYPE-A PMC Straight 2-stage trigger to give it consistent reliability time after time.

NOTE:  All of our rifles are Hardcoat Anodized and then Cerakoted to give you a longer lasting more durable finish.  We wanted your rifle to wear to the anodized finish vs. the raw aluminum surface.  Just another added benefit making your rifle….TYPE-A.

Adjusting Your Gas

"If you’re running a rifle with an adjustable gas block, consider the following process for finding your sweet spot. First, close the gas port almost all the way. This means bottoming out the gas port screw and then backing off ¼ turn. Then insert a 1-round mag and fire. If the round doesn’t eject, open the gas port screw another ¼ turn and repeat. Continue this procedure until the casing ejects and the bolt locks back on the empty mag. Once you get good ejection and bolt lock open, open the gas port screw one more ¼ turn. This is your minimum setting for reliable function. Beyond this, you’ll want to group tune the rifle. Your barrel will group differently based on gas setting. If you’re selected ammo is performing good at your minimum setting, then great. If not, then try firing 3 round groups in ¼ turn increments up to 1 whole turn. You should find some improvement in this range."
