Product Overview
The Rock River Arms FE1565B Eichler Carbon Pred-2L is a purpose-built AR rifle chambered in .223 Wylde, meticulously engineered to accommodate both 5.56mm NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. This platform is designed for the discerning user who prioritizes accuracy and maneuverability, making it optimally suited for competitive shooting, varmint abatement, and rigorous range applications.
Key Engineering Features
Barrel System
The FE1565B integrates a 16-inch lightweight, fluted, bead-blasted stainless steel barrel, enhanced with cryogenic treatment. A 1:8 twist rate optimizes projectile stability across a broad range of ammunition types. This barrel configuration and manufacturing process deliver a guaranteed 3/4 MOA accuracy at 100 yards, backed by the manufacturer’s performance warranty.
Trigger System
Precision shot placement is augmented by the inclusion of an RRA Two Stage Varmint Trigger. This system provides a predictable and clean break, allowing for enhanced control and consistent engagement.
Handguard Assembly
An RRA Fred Eichler Series Carbon Fiber free-float handguard provides extended length while significantly reducing overall system weight. Its full-length top rail offers ample, stable interface for mounting essential tactical optics and firearm accessories, mitigating point-of-impact shift from accessory interaction.
Muzzle Device
The rifle is equipped with the RRA Fred Eichler Series Brake, threaded 1/2-28. This device is engineered to effectively mitigate recoil impulse and reduce muzzle rise, allowing for faster target re-acquisition and improved follow-up shot capability.
Ergonomics & Handling
Weighing 6.9 pounds and measuring 33.5 inches overall, this rifle combines a lightweight profile with considered ergonomics. The Hogue rubber grip ensures secure handling, while the RRA Operator CAR Stock provides a stable and adjustable shoulder interface, promoting comfortable operation during extended engagements.
Construction & Reliability
The FE1565B Carbon Pred-2L is constructed upon a forged RRA LAR-15M lower receiver and a forged A4 upper receiver, ensuring structural integrity and long-term platform reliability under demanding conditions. This robust foundation supports consistent performance whether in the field or at the range.
