About this product

The Q Sugar Weasel is a 16-inch direct-impingement rifle chambered for .223 Rem/5.56 NATO and built on an M16-spec receiver set without a forward assist. It pairs a 15-inch free-float M-LOK handguard and Magpul SL-K carbine stock with a mid-length adjustable gas block and Cherry Bomb muzzle brake. The platform is configured for modern sporting use, range work and training where a compact 16″ barrel and carbine-length ergonomics are preferred.
