Paul Howe Tactical Carbine
The first thing you will notice is our striking Flat Dark Earth Camouflage Armor-Tuff finish. This special finish has been developed to blend in well in many urban and rural environments. This exclusive hand-applied pattern reduces the infrared "IR" signature and also keeps the rifle cooler in high temperatures. The Paul Howe Tactical Carbine uses our peerless, match-grade, 5.56 NATO chambered stainless steel 16" barrel with deep lightening flutes and an Accu-Tac flash hider.
A Two-stage Wilson Combat TTU with heavier springs for a 4.5 – 5 pound trigger release – an ideal weight for gloved use in an operational environment is standard. Paul selected a Daniel Defense fixed front sight tower along with his CSAT rear aperture flip-up rear sight for fast, reliable combat sighting. The Paul Howe Tactical Carbine can be ordered only in 5.56 NATO caliber as a basic rifle, or as a complete package kitted with Paul’s preferred optic, mount, and sling.
