Shark Coast Tactical Viking AR | 5.56 | 16″ | MFG# 300-036-1002-00

The Shark Coast Tactical Viking AR is a semi-automatic AR-pattern rifle chambered for .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO with a 16″ threaded barrel and M-LOK compatible handguard. It pairs well with medium-magnification optics; a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 provides a versatile sighting solution under $1000 for both close and extended-range work. Intended uses include precision target practice and action/3‑gun style competition where a reliable, configurable AR platform is preferred.
