The semi-automatic rifles feature a 16-inch barrel with a twist of 1 in 15 inches. And, both are standard with an A3-style flat top upper receiver, a quad-rail handguard for easily mounting optional accessories and an A2 pistol grip for improved firearm control.

These Smith & Wesson tactical rifles also feature a fully functional charging handle, an AR-15 style magazine release, bolt catch and a two-position receiver mounted safety.
