NEW Springfield Armory Saint Edge ATC – Accurized Tactical Chassis

Springfield Armory has been on an absolute tear these past few months unveiling one new firearm after another. From new 1911 models in the Garrison, Emissary, and Ronin EMP to even more optic ready offerings like the XD-S Mod.2 OSP. All of those aforementioned selections have great feature sets and are logically, well-designed guns you would come to expect from Springfield Armory. One firearm no one will see coming is their newest firearm debuted today in the Saint Edge ATC .223 Wylde – Accurized Tactical Chassis!

Many shooters are aware that “free-floating” a barrel improves the accuracy. By removing any outside “influences” on the barrel there is less whip; thus, the bullet is more true to its intended path and accurate on target. Most people believe going from a traditional ’90s style plastic handguard to a modern free-floated M-LOK rail remedies all of this. Well, it solves most of that problem of outside influences.

“The heart of the SAINT® Edge ATC system is the patented Accurized Tactical Chassis monolithic lower. Machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, the lower receiver is designed to remove any contact with the barrel, barrel nut and gas system. This completely free-floated system is the foundation of the SAINT Edge ATC’s unparalleled accuracy.”
