I got a call yesterday from Kino Davis to tell me about the Alliance, a new carbine from Proto Tactical. Proto Tactical has been manufacturing OEM firearms components for other manufacturers and companies since 2010 and specializes in rapid prototyping and precision design and manufacturing. Now, they’ve decided to try their hand at assembling their own weapons. Not a bad looking gun.

Proto Tactical LLC introduces the Alliance, their newest offering to the popular tactical AR15 carbine market, setting a new high water mark for consumer expectations and manufacturer’s standards.
Even though Proto Tactical is a full service firearms manufacturing facility accustomed to fully machining their own receivers, chambering and turning barrels, designing and developing new parts – the decision behind the Alliance was to identify the best parts available and use that list of premium parts and most desirable features to offer a rifle that checks all of the boxes. The Alliance offers both veteran and beginning shooters a turn key solution that was previously only available by working with custom firearms shops, gunsmiths or though years of do-it-yourself experience.
Working with local firearms consultant Kino Davis, Proto Tactical has configured and manufactured a rifle that offers the most sought after features… and drops a lot of names in the process; from the Vltor MUR upper receiver and A5 recoil system, to the 16” mid-length gas system barrel, the highest quality internal parts featuring a short-throw BAD-ASS selector, Centurion Arms railed hand guard, and furniture from B5 Systems and Umbrella Corporation.
Proto Tactical President Gary Palese said “as a manufacturer, it is tempting to just make a lot of these parts in house… but we talked to a lot of people and looked at a many different rifles in the field to come up with this design.” He went on to say “this project was about finding the best systems out there and bringing them together under our standards for Precision in Assembly” – The Alliance rifle is assembled using a Proto Tactical lower receiver, completely manufactured in their Tucson based shop.
The Alliance is available for immediate order, for more information about the Alliance or other Proto Tactical services, contact them at 520-579-9873 or sales@prototactical.com

Looks pretty nice but I don’t see why they didn’t get the hand guard in tan since they seemed to be going for the black and tan look.
From the look of the specs looks like a good rifle at a good price point.
Sooooo, it’s an AR-15…
Yeah…
$1500, when the bottom has dropped out of this market. Yeah, um. when you can buy a quality AR for under $900 without even trying.
Yeah. Great.
Yeah. woohoo….
Price out those parts seperately and see how much it costs then. The highest quality AR you will find for the lowest price is a Colt LE6920 and those run usually about $1000-1200.
Take that DPMS/OLY/BM fanboy troll stuff somewhere else.
How about some appreciation for a new company on the market that can offer more options.
Let time and end user trials tell if they are on par with the top brands.
Why not just use an existing muzzle device instead of wasting money on building your own?
Nice rifle though, I like the specs.
They might just want to sell it… individually.. just maybe.
Mate – Proto Tac has been making muzzle brakes and devices as OEM parts for other companies for a while, the device on this rifle is a COTS item that we were already making.
