Armalite Defender 15 AR-15 Pattern .223 Remington 5.56 NATO Matte Black Rifle

The Armalite Defender 15 is a semi-automatic AR-15 pattern rifle in matte black, chambered for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. It has a 16-inch barrel, a direct gas operating system and a single-stage Mil-Spec trigger. A six-position adjustable synthetic stock fits shooters of different sizes, and an optic-ready Picatinny rail takes a red dot or scope. The rifle is 32 inches overall and ships with one 30-round Magpul PMAG.

For a Florida buyer this is a general-purpose AR platform for range sessions and optic-equipped shooting, and the adjustable stock helps it fit more than one shooter. Florida sets deer seasons by zone, with general gun dates that differ across Zones A, B, C and D, and the state names centerfire rifles among the tools used for deer. Check the zone for your county before you go out, because the dates are not the same everywhere in the state.
