Whether you're in the field, at the range, or preparing for defense, the RAIDER15 offers exceptional reliability and versatility. It includes ambidextrous controls, a mil-spec flash hider, a 16" 4150 stainless steel barrel, and an adjustable gas block. The rifle also features an A2 flash hider muzzle for tactical and low- light situations, as well as an ALG trigger.

What Is An Assault Weapon Ban?
An Assault Weapon Ban is a law passed at the state level that restricts or outright prohibits the sale, transfer, possession, or manufacture of certain firearms that the state defines as "assault weapons." These laws vary from state to state, but they typically focus on semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns with certain style features.



FFL Compliance:
FFLs can purchase firearms that are not legal in their state if they are for sale to law enforcement, military, or out-of-state sales. Connecticut is the exception; they can only order firearms to fill law enforcement and military orders and cannot keep regulated firearms as stock.
