    New Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 (Probably will be banned in NY)

    LAS VEGAS -- Springfield Armory had its new SOCOM 16 CQB rifle out for range day at SHOT Show 2016.

    The updated model features a six-position AR-style stock and Magpul M-LOC attachment system in several places for mounting accessories.

    "It makes it a very handy rifle for being a pretty-lightweight, pistol grip in .308," said Jon Yackapraro of Springfield Armor.
    I had never fired one of these compact 7.62mm rifles, but I immediately liked it.

    It feels very lightweight and compact, despite weighing just over nine pounds. I am partial to the traditional M1A-style stock, but the pistol grip stock felt very natural.

    The new SOCOM 16 CQB is available with iron sights and an optional Iron Clip Guide Red Dot Mount w/ Vortex Venom Red Dot optic.

    Buffalo gun center has them. They are not a banned firearm. The flash suppressor is solid and not fenestrated. 1,600 -1800..

    I don't know what the "16" stands for but "SOCOM" and "CQB" are pretty particular marketing terms. Are they are not about woodchucks.

    good to know, didn't realize they made them without a brake or flash suppressor
    the one in the pic is illegal though, pistol grip and adjustable stock
