In a world of black rifles we all want to be a bit different, show some personality, and stand out at the firing line. Springfield Armory “gets us” and that is exactly why they have offered a new variation of their Saint series of AR-15s with the Saint Victor Tungsten Gray offering. Now, you can have a subtle splash of Tungsten Gray Cerakote that not only turns heads, but is a stronger finish as well.

This new variant features all the performance upgrades that make the SAINT Victor great — free float M-Lok® handguard, premium nickel boron trigger, Melonite® coated barrel, enhanced Melonite® coated carrier group, pinned gas block and more — along with a Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish. The result is an eye-catching 5.56mm carbine that delivers professional grade reliability.
If you want an AR-15 rifle that will flat out perform, we highly suggest any of the offerings from Springfield Armory’s Saint Victor line especially ones with a bit more style like this new Tungsten Gray Cerakote selection. In fact, we are going to be running a Saint Victor through a Tactical Games event this summer because we have so much trust in the Saint Victor series of rifles. This will be something we have more articles on in the future so be sure to watch for them. As always, let us know all of your thoughts in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
