DUTY CQT15 RECCE
The CQTWS DUTY SERIES is a precision made combat rifle. It features a full-length, free-float handguard with M-LOK mounting system and precision-torque barrel nut. This process helps ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the CQTWS CQT15 in the manufacturing / assembly process. This weapon system was developed at the request of multiple governments to improve on the existing offerings in the marketplace. Improvements included a precision CNC machined barrel that utilizes the latest in manufacturing processes to ensure a more consistent and accurate barrel with extended lifespan. High quality, US sourced raw materials enable CQTWS to manufacture in-house to exact standards and uphold the highest quality. CQTWS is not beholden to OEM suppliers and outsourcing production like most of the industry due to being vertically integrated in the manufacturing process. The CQT15 is chambered to fire the 5.56mm cartridge. It is a select fire rifle having semi-automatic and three-round-burst fire capabilities. Cartridges are magazine fed, and firing is achieved via a direct impingement gas operating system.
