Overview
The Springfield Saint 5.56mm Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Semi-Automatic Rifle is a direct-impingement, carbine-length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO.

Who It’s For
The springfield saint 5.56mm flat dark earth (fde) semi-automatic rifle is designed for the civilian shooter who requires a duty-grade rifle at a practical price point. It suits law enforcement officers seeking a personally owned patrol rifle, competitive shooters entering the 3-gun circuit, and homeowners who prioritize reliability over flash.
