Palmetto State Armory PA-15

The Palmetto State Armory PA-15 is a battle-proven AR-15 platform rifle built for reliability, value, and performance. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, and featuring a 16-inch barrel, the PA-15 is ideal for a variety of applications—from range use and training to home defense and tactical drills.

At its core, the PA-15 features a 16" chrome moly vanadium steel barrel with a 1:7 twist rate, capable of stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights. The barrel is nitride treated for increased durability and corrosion resistance and comes equipped with a standard A2 flash hider.

The rifle operates on a carbine-length gas system, delivering reliable cycling under various conditions. It’s paired with a standard M4-style handguard, or optionally a free-floating rail on some variants, allowing for customization with lights, optics, and foregrips.

Built with forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers, the PA-15 stays true to mil-spec standards while offering excellent modularity and upgrade potential. It includes a 6-position collapsible stock, flat-top upper with Picatinny rail, and a forward assist and dust cover, rounding out a classic and reliable AR-15 setup.
