The Paladin 338 Arc AR15: Big punch, tiny package, ultra-quiet

Like the idea of 8.6 Blackout but don't like the ammo costs or increased weight and size of the AR-10? The Paladin 338 Arc AR15 is the answer. The next caliber in Hornady's ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) series of cartridges, designed to give you the benefits of a massive .338 diameter cartridge that performs exceptionally at subsonic velocities from a compact and lightweight package. The heart of the platform is our ultra-match grade  .338 Arc barrel. Ultra-lightweight profile, that does not sacrifice accuracy. 1:5 twist (optional 1:3), 5/8x24 TPI, a 25' SIG/Q taper and topped off with a premium wide mouth feed-ramp extension to help reliably feed those soft nose / flat tip expanding subsonic rounds. The Paladin .338 ARC AR15 is sub-MOA accurate while being the lightest .338 Arc rifle on the market. The Paladin 338 Arc AR15 also features our ultralight forged MLOK handguard. Want to run suppressed? No Problem. The Paladin 338 ARC AR15's gas system is fully tune-able to run with or without a suppressor, while keeping gas blowback and felt recoil at a minimum. The Paladin 338 Arc weighs in at a mere 4lbs 2oz is only 20.75" long. Our Paladin series get nothing but the absolute best components and materials with no need whatsoever to upgrade anything, just add your optic of choice and go!

OPTIONS *PLEASE READ*

• - While we are photographing every model of 338 Arc for the website, we are using this centralized product listing for all options.
• - Color: same two schemes as all Paladins. OG Gold and Black or the all blacked out Black Edition
• - Carbon Edition: The package adds our forged carbon fiber handguard, titanium handguard bolts, trigger pins, castle nut, grip screw, buffer detent, and firing pin.
• - Twist rate: 1:5 standard, 1:3 is optional. 1:3 produces better ballistic performance on the heavier Hornady 307gr and other subsonics, however it does spin apart the Hornady 175gr Supersonic loads. This is something to consider if you do plan on running supersonics. The projectile construction will matter. If you are unsure of which route to go, give us a call.
• - Barrel Length: 7" PDW and 11". For product examples in each length, you can look at our 7" .300 blackout PDWs and 11" 6mm Arcs as reference while we photograph the new models and get them listed on the site.
