Overview
The Franklin Armory M4-HTF R3 XTD is a robust semi-automatic rifle engineered for reliability and consistent performance. This platform integrates proven components with precision enhancements, designed to meet the demands of experienced firearm enthusiasts and competitive shooters. Its configuration focuses on a balanced blend of maneuverability, control, and operational longevity.
Key Features
Precision & Performance
The M4-HTF R3 XTD is built around a 16-inch light contour barrel, meticulously crafted to optimize balance and handling without compromising structural rigidity. The light contour profile facilitates quicker target transitions and reduces overall carry weight, while the salt bath nitride finish enhances surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and reduces friction for improved barrel life and ease of maintenance. Muzzle control is augmented by the integrated Aura XTD muzzle device, engineered to mitigate recoil impulse and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots and enhanced target retention. A custom-tuned trigger assembly provides a crisp, predictable break and positive reset, directly contributing to improved shooter interface and accuracy potential.
Ergonomics & Control
Operational control is refined through the inclusion of B5 Systems furniture. The adjustable B5 Systems Bravo Stock offers multiple length-of-pull settings, ensuring a consistent and stable cheek weld while adapting to various shooter preferences and gear configurations. Its robust design contributes to reliable shoulder purchase. The B5 Systems Grip provides an ergonomic interface, facilitating positive weapon retention and control during dynamic engagements.
Durability & Finish
Critical steel components, including the barrel, receive a salt bath nitride treatment. This advanced metallurgical process enhances the steel surface, significantly increasing resistance to wear, corrosion, and carbon buildup. This finish ensures long-term operational integrity and simplifies field maintenance. The rifle features a durable black aesthetic, consistent with its utility-driven design.
