F1 Firearms FDR-15 5.56mm NATO 16in Black Nitride Semi Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle

The F1 Firearms FDR-15 merges American craftsmanship with military-spec tolerances to deliver a modern sporting rifle (MSR) built for precision, reliability, and versatility. Chambered in 5.56mm NATO (.223 Wylde), this semi-automatic centerfire rifle offers a 16-inch match grade, black nitride barrel that ensures exceptional accuracy, corrosion resistance, and a flat trajectory. Whether you’re at the range, in competition, or defending your home, the FDR-15 excels at every task.

All American Made Construction

From the billet forged 7075-T6 aluminum handguard to the mil-spec M4 stock and A2 grip, every component of the FDR-15 is manufactured in the United States. The forged upper and lower receivers feature enhanced tolerances for a tight fit, reduced play, and consistent lockup. The F1 Firearms in-house machining process ensures each rifle leaves the factory with billet-like precision without the premium billet price tag.

Match Grade Barrel & Black Nitride Finish

The 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is chambered in .223 Wylde, catering to both 5.56mm NATO and commercial .223 Remington ammunition. The black nitride finish on the barrel and bolt carrier group provides superior wear resistance, extended service life, and low friction for smoother cycling under all conditions. You’ll notice consistent groupings, minimal fouling, and easy maintenance shot after shot.

Ergonomic Modular Design

The free-floating 13.5-inch handguard offers M-LOK attachment points along its length, allowing you to customize your rifle with lights, grips, bipods, and other accessories. The mil-spec M4 collapsible stock adjusts to multiple cheek weld positions, while the standard A2 grip provides a secure hold during rapid fire. At just 6.9 pounds unloaded, the FDR-15 balances weight and stability for both standing and prone shooting.

Precision Trigger & Reliability

Equipped with a mil-spec trigger assembly that produces a clean, consistent pull, the FDR-15 invites you to develop your best shooting fundamentals. The semi-automatic action cycles reliably with a standard 30+1 magazine capacity, feeding and ejecting brass smoothly under all conditions. The full-length Picatinny top rail ensures you can mount optics, red dots, or backup iron sights with ease.

Versatile Performance

Whether you’re a competitive shooter, law enforcement professional, or recreational marksman, the FDR-15 stands ready. Its centerfire action handles a wide range of ammunition, from FMJ practice rounds to premium match-grade loads. The hard coat anodized receiver and corrosion-resistant coating on critical parts ensure dependable performance in rain, snow, and desert environments.
