Troy Sporting PAR 16" (Pump Action Rifle)
Troy Industries · Rifle · In Production · 2013
Overview
The Troy Sporting PAR 16" is a pump-action rifle (PAR) that mates AR-15 ergonomics and aesthetics with a manually cycled pump action, making it legal in all 50 states and in jurisdictions that restrict semi-automatic rifles. It uses a 16-inch barrel with a 1:7 right-hand twist and a threaded muzzle fitted with an A2-style muzzle brake, chambered in 223 Wylde/5.56 NATO or 300 AAC Blackout. The action is cycled by a forward-mounted pump that drives the bolt carrier, retaining the standard AR-15 controls, magazine compatibility, and 30-round capacity. The rifle is built from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a 13-inch free-floating M-LOK handguard, and is offered with a B5 Bravo stock or a folding SAR stock that reduces the folded length to 26 inches. Because it is not a semi-automatic, the PAR sidesteps many 'assault weapon' classifications while preserving the platform's modularity and feel.

Background
Troy introduced the PAR (Pump Action Rifle) to give shooters in restrictive states an AR-pattern rifle that retains the platform's controls and accessory ecosystem while being legally classified as a pump-action rather than a semi-automatic - a workaround that proved popular in California, New York, and similar markets.
