Armalite Annouces SPR Mod 1 Rifles in New Calibers

7.62X39mm & 6.8mm SPC II

Geneseo, IL – -(Ammoland.com)- ArmaLite’s “History of Innovation (http://www.ammoland.com/2011/10/31/historical-review-of-armalite/)” continues!

The originator of the AR platform has turned its popular M-15 SPR Mod 1 system into a “Family of Calibers.”

ArmaLite’s Mod 1 carbine started as a .223/5.56mm carbine built around a revolutionary one-piece upper receiver/rail system with exclusive detachable side and bottom rails.

Now, enthusiasts of the 7.62X39 won’t have to settle for less than the best: a true ArmaLite carbine. The ArmaLite designed mid-length handguard and gas tube technology provides an optimal gas pulse to power the 16″ system so reliability is never an issue.:yeah:

I like the 7.62x39 because that's what my Kalashnikov rifles use... I don't like the rifles because they use 7.62x39!

"Gas tube - reliability is never an issue"? :yeah:

AR-15 uppers in X39 have been around for ages...

The 223/5.56 X 45 mm NATO version (http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=15SPR1CB&ReturnUrl=Categories.aspx?Category=8e8e5de6-5022-483e-812b-822e58014822) has an MSRP of $1,554.00. I'm betting the 6.8 & x39 versions will be that or more.
