Midwest Industries MIFN16CRM14 | AR-15 16″ .223 Wylde

The Midwest Industries MIFN16CRM14 is a forged 7075-T6 aluminum AR-15 platform built around a 16-inch Melonite-treated barrel chambered in .223 Wylde and fitted with a 14-inch MI CRM M-LOK handguard. Both upper and lower receivers are forged from 7075-T6 and finished with MIL 8625 Type III, Class 2 hard-coat anodize; the design maintains M16/M4 dimensional spec and M4 feed ramps. Standard ergonomic features include a 6-position Magpul CTR stock, Magpul MOE grip, and an MI M16 bolt carrier group. An optic such as the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 pairs well for close-to-mid-range work and preserves the rifle’s versatility.

Applications: competition shooting (e.g., 3-gun) and precision practice/varmint work where a mid-length gas system and 16″ barrel offer a balance of reliability and accuracy.
