Like the stock, like the barrel, like the trigger, like the hand guard, like the grip, like the dual aperture sight, like the weight, like the mid-length gas system and the heavy buffer. Shot the gun and think it's baller for it's price point.
I'm coming to this video 4 years late, but I just got my saint victor and I love it. In 2021 the cost was more, but the victor has been upgraded. Vortex red dot optics and B5 grip and adjustable stock full length metal free floating hand guard and flip up iron sights
Hail Garand full of grace, Father of M1, John Browning is with thee, blessed man amongst gunmakers. Pray for us shooters now and at the hour of our need. Blessed are the wares of Springfield Armory. We anoint your creation with thy scented and lubcirating holy oil so that bolt and en bloc clip does not snag and malfunction May your blessed .30-06 Springfield caliber round be guided by your hand and strike our enemies to the ground with righteous fury. Protect us oh Holy Garand from the evils that try with all might to make your holy creation a weak and unwanted blasphemy. Hail Garand full of grace, Father of M1, John Browning is with thee, blessed man amongst gunmakers. Amen!
my saint is broken. sent it to springfield twice now with messed up casings so they could inspect and I was told today that they can't duplicate the problem I'm having. I'm shooting federal, Remington, and other great ammo. hopefully they can fix it or give me a new gun but as of now not happy
To the Springfield ad agency, I have to congratulate you for taking firearms advertising to a new level. You even made me want it, and I don't need it! Edward Bernays would be proud.
A lot of good points below. Still, the market for budget ARs just got served notice. There are a lot of people who would rather pay for them build a decent rifle. The Saint doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, just good components for the cost. However, I've built a couple of ARs with far better components, including drop in triggers for around the same price mark. The current market might be difficult, but not impossible to find components. You just need to shop around.
Shot a friends and loved it, cant beat it for the price. Was on wish list at buds for it and got the email two days ago that they had it in stock so I purchased right away. Two hours later I am at work and tell coworker about buds having it stock and he logged in to purchase one and they were already sold out, glad I didn't hesitate on purchasing mine!
Nice looking rifle like any other AR15. Instead of buying another I plan to build one but as a pistol with 7.5” barrel. Anderson and PSA have been selected as the primary providers for lower and upper. Any suggestion?
I own over a dozen AR's in various lengths, calibers and styles etc Just like my equal amounts of AK's just NOT excited or interested in AR's (Or AK's) anymore and still hate the T handle, hated it in the military and still hate it I don't know why they keep making them its the one universally hated features of the AR, though I love my side charging AR's. Now the Hellion I will be buying.
Oh my god dude give it a rest. You’re on just about every Springfield video saying the same crap. No it’s made in America you idiot. Go back under your bridge troll.
Taking pre-orders on this amazing AR Rifle by Springfield SAINT 556, amazing work once again, for preorders email me at saint@curiosrelics.com or visit www.curiosandrelics.com to check availability.
I think Springfield Armory has hit a homerun with this rifle. Maybe not a grand slam, but a home run nonetheless. I just hope that they're prepared to meet the demand I have a feeling this rifle is going to produce. The only complaint(s) I have are the fixed front sight, and the handguard stop. I'd rather see flip up front and rear sights and I'd rather be able to put my own foregrip/stop as far forward as possible. Other than that it looks like an awesome PDW ready to rock and roll right out of the box, and finally at a price point that anyone should be able to afford, without having to spend extra money in upgrades. Way to go guys!
@DeadStik Innovation -- showing hot white and black girls blasting in slo-mo with their Saints, with a semi-rock, semi-?funk audio sound trak background. Works for me!!!
"Accu-tight system!?" Are you kidding? Any upper and lower manufactured in the same place should fit tightly and remain rattle free. They missed the mark on this weapon and I'll tell you why... READ THIS! One good example, I own a CORE 15. One of the best pre-built weapons out there as to fit, finish and reliability. Their base rifle is actually lighter and a little cheaper. The only difference I see is upgraded stocks on the Springfield which is probably where some of the weight/cost difference is. They spent tons of money on advert/marketing and none on the weapon for things like control upgrades, and mag well enhancement. They say "G.I. trigger with a coating," like its supposed to make our heads spin, which means they cheaped out on the fire controls instead of using an upgraded trigger system. It would add less than a hundred bucks to their production costs, at the quantity they would purchase, to add a tuned, "middle of road" fire control which would perform well for most shooters, which would be quite attractive to those wanting a quality, pre-built unit and especially to those who cant do upgrades themselves. This is obviously being marketed to people new to the platform who don't want to, or can't, tinker and trade parts before they go shooting. Those people (and us) need something that sets this weapon aside from the rest of the "off the shelf" offerings currently on the market. Better trigger, magazine release and safety controls and an enhanced mag well would have hit the mark, no pun intended. "Ooohhh... Melonite barrel..." Melonite, nitride or chrome lined barrels are all good, it just depends on desired total round life and situational use (marine, desert, etc.) as to which is "best" for the shooter. More marketing goosh. Don't forget, people. Unless you have specific needs, even base level stock systems are quite sufficient for home defense and general use. A white light/mount can be added without needing expensive, free floating front stocks. If you don't know what that means, this is for you. All things considered, if youre able, better to spend around $600 on a decent, base unit and add the stocks and controls YOU want and end up with a better weapon at about the same cost (Under $1,000). Even if you have to pay your local gun shop some labor to do it for you. It doesn't take long and it's very easy for them to do. An upgrade butt stock often takes only a few seconds. If that's not for you and you want a "buy and shoot unit..." You can still buy a quality AR style weapon for under $800. Until I see something mechanically advantageous on this thing, I'll stick to my CORE 15 for a proven, high quality, off the rack weapon for about the same money. Before you start bombing me with all the ways I've gone wrong, it's just one opinion from someone with above average experience. Do your research and happy shooting!!!
SPRING FIELD ?.GREAT MAKER ...again NO FAN A. TWO ...but the XD 9 MM I HAVE is AWESOME!!! AND THE MOD2 9mm Unbelievable great .....will purchase again! THSNK YOU SPringfiEILD !!!!
An MSRP of $900 for a rifle still using an outdated A2 gas block front sight. You can easily tell the where the design is 30 years old with that. Why did this not get omitted? It definitely restricts the customization and is a feature commonly found among only the cheaper models of the AR-15 market.
I find it funny The current Springfield Armory hasn’t designed a single firearm. The M1. Jean Garand. The 1911. John Moses Browning. XD. HS2000. Croatian. I like Springfield, but fuck. Don’t claim to be something you aren’t.
now if glock made an ar it would be something to see,it looks like a regualr ar 15 with saint stamped on the side ,people in the gun world are already making fun of it ,
Are you fucking shitting me? They need to can whoever the hell is in charge of marketing. This has already been done and honestly it looks cheap. It looks like they went and refurbished a bunch of Vietnam era rifles and or passing them off as "new". I give this a huge thumbs down. I mean c'mon. Who the hell are you all competing with? Colt and SW make a far better rifle in this price point. I think the product as well as the marketing has been a huge failure for the company and I see this being discontinued in the near future. Just sayin'.
After months and months of hype and teases etc. in the advertising campaign, I was SO disappointed to see just another AR-15. Really S.A. Really? Your advertising hinted at a revolutionary "thing" that changes everything. Where is it? Not here. There is nothing new here, NOTHING. I build my own AR's anyway and never touch anything without a gas piston anymore. By the way, I LOVE everything else you make and have no doubt this is a wonderful firearm at a great price point, but it DOES NOT live up to the advertising campaign in any way and I for one was incredibly underwhelmed when I learned it was just another AR. Try again S.A.
Yawn, another AR-15 rifle on the market. This is a dollar short and a day late.When the marketing people film videos like this it would be nice to use actors and actresses that are able to shoot the rifle with proper form. The actors don't know how to hold the rifle, aim through the sights, or operate the trigger. This is some of the worst novice shooting I have seen. The cool graphics and music must make up for the poor abilities of the shooters. It would be nice to have Springfield use actors that had some experience shooting a rifle before.
John Phillips well it was designed to be sold to beginners. Who want a good rifle at a low cost to learn on. If I was in the commercial, I’d look just as bad when I first started shooting. Not everyone is perfect.

I love my SAINT🇺🇸
Like the stock, like the barrel, like the trigger, like the hand guard, like the grip, like the dual aperture sight, like the weight, like the mid-length gas system and the heavy buffer. Shot the gun and think it's baller for it's price point.
I'm coming to this video 4 years late, but I just got my saint victor and I love it. In 2021 the cost was more, but the victor has been upgraded. Vortex red dot optics and B5 grip and adjustable stock full length metal free floating hand guard and flip up iron sights
Hail Garand full of grace, Father of M1,
John Browning is with thee, blessed man amongst gunmakers.
Pray for us shooters now and at the hour of our need.
Blessed are the wares of Springfield Armory.
We anoint your creation with thy scented and lubcirating holy oil so that bolt and en bloc clip does not snag and malfunction
May your blessed .30-06 Springfield caliber round be guided by your hand and strike our enemies to the ground with righteous fury.
Protect us oh Holy Garand from the evils that try with all might to make your holy creation a weak and unwanted blasphemy.
Hail Garand full of grace, Father of M1,
John Browning is with thee, blessed man amongst gunmakers.
Amen!
Amen
Wow. Love SA, have many. It took quite a while for them to introduce a competitor in the crowded, commodity-laden AR-15 market, but what a debut!
My first AR.... can't wait to pick her up on Friday!
Magnifico, una verdadera belleza
I just bought one! Trying it out tomorrow traded my smith and wesson m and p! stoked
how did it go?
I absolutely love my saint!
I love it! Simple! I like iron sights, a 2 point sling, and a decent light. Nothing else.
my saint is broken. sent it to springfield twice now with messed up casings so they could inspect and I was told today that they can't duplicate the problem I'm having. I'm shooting federal, Remington, and other great ammo. hopefully they can fix it or give me a new gun but as of now not happy
To the Springfield ad agency, I have to congratulate you for taking firearms advertising to a new level. You even made me want it, and I don't need it! Edward Bernays would be proud.
looks great. Can't wait to try one. Just hope an .308 version is on the way.
Just buy a M1A Socom 16 if you want 308
The newer Saint Victor has a .308 version
Just bought my saint and it is a tack driver
I'm abt to get my first rifle the Saint or the cz Bren is my choice the Saint is a lot cheaper so I might rock with the Saint
A lot of good points below. Still, the market for budget ARs just got served notice. There are a lot of people who would rather pay for them build a decent rifle.

Two hours later I am at work and tell coworker about buds having it stock and he logged in to purchase one and they were already sold out, glad I didn't hesitate on purchasing mine!
Can someone please tell me what optic is mounted on this Saint in the video? I'd like to get one.
Nice looking rifle like any other AR15. Instead of buying another I plan to build one but as a pistol with 7.5” barrel. Anderson and PSA have been selected as the primary providers for lower and upper. Any suggestion?
Have you done anything yet?
Paid 750 for mine love it
Would a UTG Pro drop in handguard fit on this rifle?
I own over a dozen AR's in various lengths, calibers and styles etc Just like my equal amounts of AK's just NOT excited or interested in AR's (Or AK's) anymore and still hate the T handle, hated it in the military and still hate it I don't know why they keep making them its the one universally hated features of the AR, though I love my side charging AR's. Now the Hellion I will be buying.
A little late in the game. Nice rifle though. I rather build one.
Have you built one? Any advice?
Is this made in Croatia too?
Oh my god dude give it a rest. You’re on just about every Springfield video saying the same crap. No it’s made in America you idiot. Go back under your bridge troll.
What kinda ear plugs is the women using at the 3 min mark.
Does this commercial video imply the Saint is only for girls?
"Women are in a gun vid :("
I agree with steven, it's just another ar and a disappointment, they should have built it with a gas piston.

Is that Job Bernthal?
can't tell who they are trying to appeal to. home defense, cross fit types, thrifty shooters... a bit all over the place.
lmao at "cross fit types"
Antonio Contreras lol, it's basically a nice starter rifle for first time buyers, no?
Those yoga tights should really be coyote tan.
Mil-Spec upper and lower with a bunch of BCM components, how is this innovative?
Why the fuck are you looking to guns for "innovation"? It's a fucking rifle, man.
@DeadStik Innovation -- showing hot white and black girls blasting in slo-mo with their Saints, with a semi-rock, semi-?funk audio sound trak background. Works for me!!!
The more the merrier...clean looking rifle!
"Accu-tight system!?" Are you kidding? Any upper and lower manufactured in the same place should fit tightly and remain rattle free. They missed the mark on this weapon and I'll tell you why... READ THIS!
One good example, I own a CORE 15. One of the best pre-built weapons out there as to fit, finish and reliability. Their base rifle is actually lighter and a little cheaper. The only difference I see is upgraded stocks on the Springfield which is probably where some of the weight/cost difference is.

They say "G.I. trigger with a coating," like its supposed to make our heads spin, which means they cheaped out on the fire controls instead of using an upgraded trigger system.
It would add less than a hundred bucks to their production costs, at the quantity they would purchase, to add a tuned, "middle of road" fire control which would perform well for most shooters, which would be quite attractive to those wanting a quality, pre-built unit and especially to those who cant do upgrades themselves.
This is obviously being marketed to people new to the platform who don't want to, or can't, tinker and trade parts before they go shooting. Those people (and us) need something that sets this weapon aside from the rest of the "off the shelf" offerings currently on the market. Better trigger, magazine release and safety controls and an enhanced mag well would have hit the mark, no pun intended.
"Ooohhh... Melonite barrel..." Melonite, nitride or chrome lined barrels are all good, it just depends on desired total round life and situational use (marine, desert, etc.) as to which is "best" for the shooter. More marketing goosh.
Don't forget, people. Unless you have specific needs, even base level stock systems are quite sufficient for home defense and general use. A white light/mount can be added without needing expensive, free floating front stocks. If you don't know what that means, this is for you.
All things considered, if youre able, better to spend around $600 on a decent, base unit and add the stocks and controls YOU want and end up with a better weapon at about the same cost (Under $1,000). Even if you have to pay your local gun shop some labor to do it for you. It doesn't take long and it's very easy for them to do. An upgrade butt stock often takes only a few seconds. If that's not for you and you want a "buy and shoot unit..." You can still buy a quality AR style weapon for under $800.
Until I see something mechanically advantageous on this thing, I'll stick to my CORE 15 for a proven, high quality, off the rack weapon for about the same money.
Before you start bombing me with all the ways I've gone wrong, it's just one opinion from someone with above average experience. Do your research and happy shooting!!!
This is the Chevy commercial of AR-15's.
Ready to Shoot , Made in America . I'll get my hands on one!
Was that a "Walking Dead" video? Makes me want to join a gym, put on a muscle shirt and go blow shit up!
SPRING FIELD ?.GREAT MAKER ...again NO FAN A. TWO ...but the XD 9 MM I HAVE is AWESOME!!! AND THE MOD2 9mm
Unbelievable great .....will purchase again! THSNK YOU SPringfiEILD !!!!
An MSRP of $900 for a rifle still using an outdated A2 gas block front sight. You can easily tell the where the design is 30 years old with that. Why did this not get omitted? It definitely restricts the customization and is a feature commonly found among only the cheaper models of the AR-15 market.
Maybe some people like "Original Recipe" more than they enjoy "Extra Crispy",huh?
I find it funny
The current Springfield Armory hasn’t designed a single firearm.
The M1. Jean Garand.
The 1911. John Moses Browning.
XD. HS2000. Croatian.
I like Springfield, but fuck. Don’t claim to be something you aren’t.
Who in the hell still uses A2 front sights and non-floated rails? Seriously, Springfield? Have we not advanced since the 1980s?
now if glock made an ar it would be something to see,it looks like a regualr ar 15 with saint stamped on the side ,people in the gun world are already making fun of it ,
got a chance to shoot one. not impressed. build your own.
This is a very woke commercial.
Are you fucking shitting me? They need to can whoever the hell is in charge of marketing. This has already been done and honestly it looks cheap. It looks like they went and refurbished a bunch of Vietnam era rifles and or passing them off as "new". I give this a huge thumbs down. I mean c'mon. Who the hell are you all competing with? Colt and SW make a far better rifle in this price point. I think the product as well as the marketing has been a huge failure for the company and I see this being discontinued in the near future. Just sayin'.
After months and months of hype and teases etc. in the advertising campaign, I was SO disappointed to see just another AR-15. Really S.A. Really? Your advertising hinted at a revolutionary "thing" that changes everything. Where is it? Not here. There is nothing new here, NOTHING. I build my own AR's anyway and never touch anything without a gas piston anymore. By the way, I LOVE everything else you make and have no doubt this is a wonderful firearm at a great price point, but it DOES NOT live up to the advertising campaign in any way and I for one was incredibly underwhelmed when I learned it was just another AR. Try again S.A.
The company leadership has obviously been compromised by the libtards.
Every gun I have is better
In not buying one of these anymore cause Springfield threw the entire firearms community under the bus.
Yawn, another AR-15 rifle on the market. This is a dollar short and a day late.When the marketing people film videos like this it would be nice to use actors and actresses that are able to shoot the rifle with proper form. The actors don't know how to hold the rifle, aim through the sights, or operate the trigger. This is some of the worst novice shooting I have seen. The cool graphics and music must make up for the poor abilities of the shooters. It would be nice to have Springfield use actors that had some experience shooting a rifle before.
John Phillips well it was designed to be sold to beginners. Who want a good rifle at a low cost to learn on.
If I was in the commercial, I’d look just as bad when I first started shooting.
Not everyone is perfect.
Sorry I don't buy from scum companies...
I NOT A FAN OF A2 front site.....YOUR DEDICATED TO ONE....can't change height
"Accu-tight system!?" Are you kidding? Any upper and lower manufactured in the same place should fit tightly and remain rattle free. They missed the mark on this weapon and I'll tell you why... READ THIS!
One good example, I own a CORE 15. One of the best pre-built weapons out there as to fit, finish and reliability. Their base rifle is actually lighter and a little cheaper. The only difference I see is upgraded stocks on the Springfield which is probably where some of the weight/cost difference is.
They spent tons of money on advert/marketing and none on the weapon for things like control upgrades, and mag well enhancement. They say "G.I. trigger with a coating," like its supposed to make our heads spin, which means they cheaped out on the fire controls instead of using an upgraded trigger system.
It would add less than a hundred bucks to their production costs, at the quantity they would purchase, to add a tuned, "middle of road" fire control which would perform well for most shooters, which would be quite attractive to those wanting a quality, pre-built unit and especially to those who cant do upgrades themselves.
This is obviously being marketed to people new to the platform who don't want to, or can't, tinker and trade parts before they go shooting. Those people (and us) need something that sets this weapon aside from the rest of the "off the shelf" offerings currently on the market. Better trigger, magazine release and safety controls and an enhanced mag well would have hit the mark, no pun intended.
"Ooohhh... Melonite barrel..." Melonite, nitride or chrome lined barrels are all good, it just depends on desired total round life and situational use (marine, desert, etc.) as to which is "best" for the shooter. More marketing goosh.
Don't forget, people. Unless you have specific needs, even base level stock systems are quite sufficient for home defense and general use. A white light/mount can be added without needing expensive, free floating front stocks. If you don't know what that means, this is for you.
All things considered, if youre able, better to spend around $600 on a decent, base unit and add the stocks and controls YOU want and end up with a better weapon at about the same cost (Under $1,000). Even if you have to pay your local gun shop some labor to do it for you. It doesn't take long and it's very easy for them to do. An upgrade butt stock often takes only a few seconds. If that's not for you and you want a "buy and shoot unit..." You can still buy a quality AR style weapon for under $800.
Until I see something mechanically advantageous on this thing, I'll stick to my CORE 15 for a proven, high quality, off the rack weapon for about the same money.
Before you start bombing me with all the ways I've gone wrong, it's just one opinion from someone with above average experience. Do your research and happy shooting!!!
I have a core and and Springfield. Core is great rifle for the price. Haven't shot my saint yet.
