5.56mm NATO Paul Howe Tactical Carbine (discontinued 2/27/2024)

  • Information

    The first thing you will notice is our striking Flat Dark Earth Camouflage Armor-Tuff finish. This special finish has been developed to blend in well in many urban and rural environments. This exclusive hand-applied pattern reduces the infrared "IR" signature and also keeps the rifle cooler in high temperatures. The Paul Howe Tactical Carbine uses our peerless, match-grade, 5.56 NATO chambered stainless steel 16" barrel with deep lightening flutes and an Accu-Tac flash hider.

    A Two-stage Wilson Combat TTU with heavier springs for a 4.5 – 5 pound trigger release – an ideal weight for gloved use in an operational environment is standard. Paul selected a Daniel Defense fixed front sight tower along with his CSAT rear aperture flip-up rear sight for fast, reliable combat sighting. The Paul Howe Tactical Carbine can be ordered only in 5.56 NATO caliber as a basic rifle, or as a complete package kitted with Paul’s preferred optic, mount, and sling.

5.56mm NATO Protector Carbine Left Hand (discontinued 1/21/2025)

  • Information

    Using a CNC-Machined, Mil-Spec forged upper and lower receiver set, the PROTECTOR series AR Carbines and Pistols are lightweight and fast handling. The free-floating and rugged Wilson Combat M-LOK® handguard has a slim, ergonomic profile with ample rail and attachment surface and shields the black nitride-finished non-adjustable gas block. Our durable and low-signature Armor-Tuff coating is individually applied to the receiver and barrel for a professional and practical, custom-style finishing touch.

    Our Wilson Combat Match-Grade, precision button-rifled stainless steel barrels are tested for accuracy and finished with our Q-Comp muzzle device that provides excellent recoil control without exacerbating blast back to the operator. The Wilson Combat exclusive 2-stage Tactical Trigger unit is utilized for a trouble-free, superior, crisp trigger pull every time with a modular construction that simplifies takedown and cleaning after high round count training sessions. Ergonomic comfort features like our Wilson Combat/BCM pistol grip and a Wilson-Rogers Super-Stoc (Carbine versions only) complete this high-performing package that is tailored to the needs of the military, law enforcement, or the well-armed civilian.
