UTAS 516 URGI STRAIGHT PULL 14.5″ – 223 Rem/5.56 NATO

A Modern URGI-Inspired Straight-Pull Rifle Built for Precision & Compliance

The UTAS 516 URGI Straight Pull 14.5″ – 223 Rem / 5.56 NATO brings the look and feel of a U.S. military URGI-style rifle into a smooth-cycling straight-pull configuration. Designed for shooters in restricted regions or for those who prefer manual precision, this rifle delivers AR-style ergonomics with the reliability and control of a straight-pull bolt system.

With a 14.5″ precision barrel, URGI-style handguard, and full AR modularity, this rifle provides a highly adaptable and accurate shooting platform for training and tactical-style range work.

Straight-Pull Bolt Operation — Fast, Smooth, and Accurate

The straight-pull system allows shooters to cycle the bolt directly rearward and forward without rotation, offering:

• Faster manual cycling than traditional bolt guns

• Minimal disturbance to shooting position

• Superior control between shots

• AR-style rhythm with manual operation

Ideal for precision training, marksmanship development, and semi-auto restricted environments.

URGI-Style Design for Modern Tactical Performance

Built to replicate the URGI platform used by U.S. SOF units, this rifle includes:

• Free-floating M-LOK handguard

• Flat-top Picatinny upper for optics

• 14.5″ barrel for compact handling

• AR-style pistol grip

• Adjustable buttstock

This combination delivers authentic URGI aesthetics and tactical functionality.

Precision 14.5″ Barrel for Reliable Accuracy

The barrel provides:

• Tight chambering for .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO

• Strong accuracy for mid-range precision

• Maneuverability in close-range or barricade shooting

• Compatibility with suppressors or muzzle devices (per thread spec)

It balances compact handling with the ballistic performance expected of a modern 5.56-based rifle.

AR Platform Compatibility

Even with straight-pull action, the UTAS 516 supports full AR-15 component compatibility:

• M-LOK accessories

• AR pistol grips

• AR buttstocks

• Sling mounts

• Picatinny optics

• Rail-mounted lights or lasers

This makes the rifle highly customizable for different shooting disciplines.

Ideal for Range Training & Tactical Practice

Great for:

• AR-style training without semi-auto function

• Tactical precision skill-building

• Restricted-region legal compliance

• Bench, prone, and barricade shooting

• Recreational and defensive skill development
