With more and more manufacturers opting for mid-length systems in carbine-size ARs, finding furniture to fit is much easier than it was even a few years ago. It’s a less-conventional choice than a carbine-length system, but offers greater reliability and controllability over the shorter system. So, what sets the Saint apart? We’ll start with the mid-length gas system. Rosenberg was tight-lipped about future expansion, but it would not be surprising to see more SKUs join the Saint in the Springfield Armory line, perhaps something to complement the competitive-shooting nature of the M1A. While simply launching the Saint-adding an entirely new firearm to an established, mature line-is daunting enough, the company knows it will need to expand. It fits in very well with the existing product line.” He explained further, “We recognize that we’re hitting a crowded market right now, but our customers have been asking for an AR-15 for a while.”ĭon’t expect Springfield Armory to rest on this introduction, though. It just makes sense for us as the next part of the Springfield Armory legacy. Springfield Armory’s National Sales Manager Jeremy Rosenberg responded, “This is something Denny Reese has wanted to do for a very long time and finally the stars have aligned and we are now able to do this.
With the number of AR-15-style rifles produced somewhere in the millions and countless dozens (if not hundreds) of distinct manufacturers out there, it’s natural to wonder why a company would tap into the market now.
Obviously, the first question that springs to mind is “Why an AR-15?” Oh, sure, it’s “America’s Rifle” and currently the most popular semi-automatic rifle on the market, but its success is both in part from, and in part responsible for, the huge number of rifles and parts available today. However, better late than never, or so the cliché goes, and the new Springfield Armory Saint has a host of options as standard equipment to make the wait more palatable. “What? Springfield Armory is releasing an AR-15-style rifle? Well, at least they beat Glock to it.” When even Ruger-long the holdouts given the company’s existing Mini-14-enters the AR-15 market ahead of you, you’re coming late to the party.
When I heard the news, I probably made the same noise you did.
