The Archangel pistol grip flares out at the bottom and is serrated on the front and rear straps for plenty of hold when the SOCOM starts barking. There is no denying that the pistol grip is atypical, and no doubt it is comfortable to shoot. The rear of the chassis is built like a buffer tube. If you want to swap out the stock, you can choose any other aftermarket AR stock. The Vortex Venom reflex red dot gives the SOCOM 16 the ability for fast target acquisition. The cheek riser helps get a solid cheekweld on the stock, which is important for long-range shooting, and you will soon see what the platform is capable of out to 100 yards. It also features a rubber buttpad and a cheek riser. The adjustable stock not only alleviates that situation, it also fits the rifle to a variety of shooter statures.

Velocity data was collected using a ProChrono digital chronograph set 15 feet from the muzzle and accuracy for three-shot groups at 100 yards.įor some shooters kitted up with gear or wearing heavy clothing, the rifle was difficult to fire comfortably.
