Black Rain Spec15 Hunter FX ZeroTech Overview
This package pairs a Black Rain Spec15 rifle in a gloss black and Hunter FX finish with a ZeroTech Trace 1×25 red dot, so it comes out of the box ready to zero and shoot.
Receivers and Finish
The upper and lower are Spec15 forged aluminum receivers, the strongest common way to make AR receivers. The finish is gloss black with a Hunter FX Cerakote pattern, a green and black design that looks sharp at the range and blends in better than plain black in the woods. Cerakote is a thin ceramic coating that resists scratches, solvents and corrosion.
Barrel and Gas System
The 16 inch 4150V Chromoly barrel is the common choice for a general purpose AR: handy indoors and in a truck, yet long enough to keep good velocity at 200 to 300 yards. The rifle runs direct impingement with a .750 low profile gas block that sits under the handguard. It is not adjustable, which keeps the system simple and reliable with standard 55 and 62 grain loads.
Bolt Carrier Group
The Spec15 bolt carrier group has a salt bath nitride finish. It is hard, slick and resists corrosion, and carbon wipes off it more easily than off bare phosphate. Keep it lightly oiled and it will run through long range days without fuss.
Handguard, Trigger and Furniture
The 15 in. M-LOK Slim MOD handguard gives room for a light, a sling mount and a forward hand position. The mil-spec G.I. trigger is reliable and easy to upgrade later, and an enhanced trigger guard leaves room for gloved fingers. The XTS stock adjusts for length of pull, and a G.I. style grip completes the furniture.
The Included Optic
The package includes a ZeroTech Trace R.A.S. 1×25 red dot. A 1x red dot is the fastest optic for close and mid range shooting, works well with both eyes open, and makes an easy first optic for a new AR owner. Zero it at 50 yards before you rely on it. With most 5.56 loads, that zero also keeps you close at 200 yards.
Choosing Ammunition
For practice, 55 grain FMJ is the most affordable choice. For accuracy work, try 69 or 77 grain match loads. For hunting coyotes and other varmints, choose a bullet built to expand. Brass cased ammunition from a known maker is the most reliable choice in any AR.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean and oil the bolt every few hundred rounds and check the gas key screws now and then. Most failures in a direct impingement rifle trace back to a dry bolt, so lubrication matters more than scrubbing.
State Laws
Some states limit AR-15 rifles or magazines over 10 rounds. Check your state and local laws before you order. Pennsylvania buyers can transfer this rifle at our Collegeville shop or at any FFL.
