The polymer furniture is from Bravo Company, and the svelte handguard is a proprietary KeyMod unit. As not a lot of American civilian shooters own grenade launchers, there are no grenade launcher cuts. This allows the rifle to handle everything from lightweight 53-grain to portly 75-grain accurately.

The tube is cut with a 1:8-inch twist and enjoys a Melonite treatment throughout. The 16-inch chrome moly vanadium barrel sports a robust heavy profile and runs a mid-length direct impingement gas system for optimal reliability. The flat-top upper naturally accepts all manner of tactical glass. The lower incorporates the Accu-Tite receiver tension system to exorcise any hint of receiver wiggle. The upper includes a forward assist and M4 feed ramps. The receivers are Type III hardcoat anodized aircraft grade 7075 T6 aluminum. The 5.56/.223 Saint is designed from the ground up to be an effective defensive tool. From perusing their web presence, the target audience is clearly young people of both genders looking for a nicely adorned tactical rifle suitable for real world security and defensive use. Note I use the term “guys” in the 21st century gender-neutral sense. Like everything the company makes, the Saint is designed by gun guys for gun guys. Sporting well-reasoned features, top-quality everything, and a nice price, the Saint injects all that is righteous about Springfield Armory into a traditional AR platform. It is through this vehicle that Springfield Armory hopes to reach an entire new generation of shooting enthusiasts. The motto of their flashy ad campaign is “Defend Your Legacy,” and it has been splashed all over the Internet.

We old gun guys are not getting any younger, and the Saint allows Springfield Armory to reach out-particularly via social media-to a new cohort of millennial shooters. The Saint is Springfield Armory’s foray into the American black rifle market, and it is promoted to be as much a lifestyle as a shootin’ iron.
