Black Rain Ordnance BLT Rifle | 5.56 NATO | 16 in.

The Black Rain Ordnance BLT Rifle is built with a billet lower receiver and a forged upper receiver, chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 16-inch chromoly barrel. It ships with a 12-inch hybrid handguard, Magpul MOE furniture, a Spec15 charging handle, and a salt-bathed nitride-finished bolt carrier group for enhanced corrosion resistance. For optics, a variable 1-6x close-quarters/short-range optic such as the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 pairs well with this platform for both speed and precision while remaining under $1,000.
