Five Takedown Ar15 Rifles from Drd Tactical, Ruger, Mgi Military, Cry Havoc And Tac2

Article Reader

Size really does matter when going covert or grabbing your go-bag. A takedown AR makes good sense, because you don’t reveal what you are truly carrying in that knapsack or small case. In addition, a smaller footprint means you can travel farther and faster.

AR15s from DRD Tactical, Ruger, MGI Military, Cry Havoc and Tac2 let you stow a substantial weapon in a small package. (What’s the expression? “Big surprises come in a small packages.”)

The fact is, the AR15 can already be considered a takedown rifle, because it is modular—but those upper and lower receivers are larger than you think and require a good-sized duffle bag to carry them. These five takedown AR15s—actually, four AR carbines and one complete upper—are not only compact, they also fit in bags you would not normally consider for a full-sized weapon. All these rifles are equipped with 16-inch barrels, making them street legal.
