Springfield Armory Saint Victor V2 5.56 NATO 14″ 10rd
About this product
The Springfield Armory Saint Victor V2 5.56 NATO 14″ 10rd is a semi-automatic modern sporting rifle built around forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers, designed as a compact, NFA-compliant platform with factory-pinned muzzle device bringing overall barrel length to 16.1 inches. This configuration specifically addresses states with capacity restrictions while maintaining the mechanical reliability Springfield Armory is known for in their contract-overrun manufacturing process.
What is the Springfield Armory Saint Victor V2 used for?
This rifle is built for restrictive-state compliance shooting, training scenarios, and home defense where magazine capacity limits apply. The 14-inch barrel with pinned flash hider achieves the 16.1-inch overall barrel length required for non-NFA rifles while maintaining compact handling. The B5 Enhanced SOPMOD stock provides cheek weld stability for optics use, and the M-LOK handguard accepts lights or forward grips without gunsmithing.
How does the Springfield Armory Saint Victor V2 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Saint Victor V2 offers semi-automatic 5.56 functionality where the Stevens 334 in .308 Win provides bolt-action precision at longer ranges. For rapid follow-up shots under 300 yards, the Saint Victor's 1:8 twist rate and gas system cycles faster than the Stevens' bolt operation, though the Stevens delivers superior accuracy beyond 400 yards with match-grade ammunition. The Saint Victor weighs 6.12 pounds unloaded compared to the Stevens 334's 7.1 pounds, making it more maneuverable in close quarters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 6.12 pounds with an overall length adjustable from 33.25 to 36.75 inches depending on stock position. The 14-inch barrel with pinned 4-prong flash hider brings functional barrel length to 16.1 inches for legal compliance without SBR paperwork. The M-LOK handguard measures 13 inches long with 1.5-inch interior diameter for most suppressor clearance.
Who is this NOT for?
This configuration isn't for unrestricted-state buyers needing standard capacity or hunters requiring longer barrels for velocity retention. The 10-round magazine limit and 14-inch barrel (effectively 16.1 inches with pinned device) sacrifice both ammunition capacity and 200+ fps muzzle velocity compared to 16-inch or 18-inch barrels. If you're in a free state, consider the standard 16-inch Victor with 30-round magazines instead.
What's in the box?
You get the complete rifle with one 10-round Magpul PMAG, operator's manual, and cable lock—no optics, sling, or cleaning kit included. The flash hider is permanently pinned and welded at the factory, eliminating the need for ATF Form 1 submission. Total package weight shipped is 9.8 pounds in a cardboard box with 2.3 cubic feet of internal space.
Is the Springfield Armory Saint Victor V2 worth it at $1249?
At $1249, this rifle delivers value for compliance-state buyers needing a factory-built NFA-legal SBR alternative with premium components. The included Radian Raptor charging handle ($90 retail) and B5 SOPMOD stock ($100 retail) would add $190 to a base AR build, making the complete package competitively priced against custom builds requiring gunsmith pin/weld services. For unrestricted states, the the Stevens 334 Rifle offers better long-range value at lower cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this work with standard AR-15 magazines?
- Yes, it accepts any Mil-Spec AR-15 magazine, though shipped with 10-round PMAG for compliance. In free states, you can use 20-round or 30-round PMAGs without modification—the lower receiver has standard magazine well dimensions.
- Is the flash hider removable for suppressor attachment?
- No, the 4-prong flash hider is permanently pinned and welded to achieve 16.1-inch overall barrel length. Removing it would require ATF Form 1 approval and professional gunsmithing—plan for direct-thread suppressors or use a mount-compatible muzzle device from the start.
- How long does shipping take to restrictive states?
- FFL shipments to CA, NY, or MA take 7-10 business days after background check clearance due to additional state paperwork. We use UPS Ground with adult signature required—expect 2-3 day transit time once shipped, plus 1-2 days for FFL verification.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my state's regulations?
- No, firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL. We verify state compliance before shipping, but ultimate responsibility falls on the purchaser—research your local laws using our [state compliance guide](/blog/state-assault-weapon-laws/) before ordering.
