CQT Weapon Systems CQTWS Duty Recce 16 DT-CAR-556-160

The CQTWS Duty Series Recce 16" 5.56 is a precision-made, mission-ready rifle engineered for everyday service use with proven performance and lasting durability. Configured as a 16" rifle chambered in 5.56mm, it is magazine-fed and cycles via a direct impingement gas operating system. Developed at the request of multiple governments to improve on existing offerings in the marketplace, the Duty Series is built around the CQTWS Proprietary DT™ (Dissipator Technology) gas block and gas tube, which delivers reliable, consistent cycling and eliminates the failures common to thin, inefficient standard gas systems. Its precision CNC-machined 16" MIL-B-11595E 4150 steel barrel is nitrided and hardened to 58 Rockwell with a 1:7 twist, high-pressure tested and hand chambered for maximum 5.56mm accuracy and an extended service life. A full-length, free-float aluminum M-LOK handguard with a continuous 12 o’clock Picatinny rail and exact torque barrel nut keeps optics and accessories rock-solid, while the MIL-SPEC forged 7075-T651 receiver, M16-style 8620 bolt carrier group, and HPT/MPI-tested 9310 bolt provide battle-proven reliability. Vertically integrated and manufactured in-house from high-quality, US-sourced raw materials, every CQTWS Duty Series firearm is built to exact standards and proudly made in the U.S.A.
