Step up to dependable, hard-use performance with the BRO SCOUT-ABLK 5.56 Recon Scout. Purpose-built for all-around carbine roles—home defense, training, patrol, and range days—this 16" 5.56 NATO rifle blends premium materials with practical features that shooters actually use. From its free-float handguard for rock-solid accessory mounting to its crisp, controllable trigger and rugged black finish, the BRO Recon Scout is tuned for accuracy, reliability, and modern modularity right out of the box.
Why Choose the BRO Recon Scout 5.56?
“Scout” here means fast, versatile, and ready. The 16" 5.56 NATO barrel delivers excellent velocity and manageable recoil, while the free-floated system keeps the barrel isolated from handguard pressure for consistent point of impact. Add a continuous top rail and M-LOK® slots for lights, lasers, and handstops, and you’ve got a nimble carbine that adapts to any mission—without unnecessary weight.
Key Features & Advantages
Caliber: 5.56x45mm NATO (compatible with .223 Rem—always follow manufacturer guidance) for wide ammo availability and balanced recoil.
Barrel Length: 16 inches—the sweet spot for accuracy, velocity, and compact handling indoors or around vehicles.
Free-Float Handguard: Slim, lightweight rail with M-LOK® attachment points and a full-length Picatinny top section for optics and BUIS.
Threaded Muzzle: Standard threading for brakes, flash hiders, and suppressor mounts (where legal) to tune recoil and signature.
Black Finish (ABLK): Durable, low-glare coating for corrosion resistance and a clean, duty-ready look.
Ergonomic Controls: Modern ambi-friendly layout with intuitive magazine and charging manipulation; texturing where you need it for positive control.
Optics-Ready Upper: Run a red dot for CQB speed or a 1-6x/1-8x LPVO for general-purpose reach—no milling required.
Quality Trigger & Lockup: Clean break and repeatable lockup promote tight groups and fast, accurate follow-ups.
Standard AR-Pattern Compatibility: Uses widely available AR-15 magazines and accepts common upgrades (stocks, grips, triggers, safeties).
Note: Exact furniture, muzzle device, and small parts can vary by production run. Check package contents for included accessories.
Performance You Can Feel
