Description
Pump action rifles usually mean walnut stocks and iron sights, but Troy Industries went a different direction. The Sporting PAR takes the ergonomics, controls, and modularity people know from the AR platform and pairs them with an integrated pump action that cycles off the forend. Rack it like a pump shotgun, and you get that same positive, mechanical feel with a rifle that points and handles like a modern sporting rifle. It feeds from a standard style 10 round magazine and runs .223 Rem, so ammo is easy to find and easy on the shoulder.
What the Troy Sporting PAR Brings to the Table
The 16 inch Melonite treated barrel keeps the whole package compact and weather resistant, and the flat top upper is completely optic ready, so you can mount a red dot for quick work up close or a variable scope for calling coyotes at distance. Up front, the handguard wears a full length top rail with room for lights and accessories, and the Troy Medieval muzzle brake keeps an already mild cartridge shooting flat. The Troy BattleAx CQB stock adjusts for length of pull, giving you an overall length between 34 and 37 inches depending on where you set it, and the Troy Control grip and standard Mil-Spec trigger round out a control layout that will feel like home to anyone who has spent time behind an AR.
Why Hunters and Pump Gun Fans Keep Asking About This Rifle
There is real appeal in a manually operated rifle. Some folks grew up running pump shotguns and love the muscle memory. Others hunt in situations where a manual action is simply the practical choice. Either way, the Sporting PAR fills a niche almost nobody else touches, and Troy builds it here in the USA with quality materials and solid fit and finish. At roughly six pounds before optics, it carries well through a long day in the field, and the 10 round magazine capacity is a sensible fit for hunting and general range use. If you want AR handling with a pump action heartbeat, this is the rifle that does it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Troy Sporting PAR shoot both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO?
Yes. This rifle is listed for both .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO, so you can run either cartridge. That flexibility makes it easy to feed with whatever ammo you find on the shelf, from bulk range loads to premium hunting rounds.
Does the Troy Sporting PAR come with sights or an optic?
No, this model ships optic ready with a bare flat top upper and a full length top rail on the handguard. That is a plus for most buyers since you can mount exactly the red dot, scope, or backup irons you prefer without paying for sights you plan to swap off anyway.
How does the pump action work on an AR style rifle like this?
Instead of using gas to cycle the bolt, the Sporting PAR uses an integrated pump forend. You slide the handguard rearward and forward to eject the spent case and chamber the next round from the magazine, much like running a pump shotgun. The rest of the controls, including the safety, magazine release, and grip, work just like a standard AR.
Is the Troy Sporting PAR a good hunting rifle?
It is a strong pick for varmint and predator hunting. The .223 chambering, 16 inch Melonite barrel, and light overall weight make it easy to carry and quick to get on target, and the M-LOK friendly forend gives you a spot for a bipod or light. The manual pump action also appeals to hunters who simply prefer working the action themselves.
