FightLite Industries has unveiled the RAPTOR, a revolutionary belt-fed upper receiver assembly designed to transform your existing AR-platform rifle. This innovation boasts impressive versatility and adaptability, making waves in the firearms industry.

The RAPTOR seamlessly integrates with any Mil-Spec AR-15 or M16 lower receiver, even models dating back to 1963. Installation requires no permanent modifications, ensuring compatibility with your existing setup. This "drop-on" upgrade offers unparalleled ease of use.

The RAPTOR's true strength lies in its ingenious Dual-Feed technology. It feeds flawlessly from both standard AR-15/M16 magazines and M27 linked ammunition, commonly used in the M249 SAW machine gun. This adaptability allows users to switch between magazine and belt-fed operation in seconds, without tools, catering to diverse tactical scenarios. This level of flexibility is a significant advancement for AR-platform rifles.

FightLite specifically designed the RAPTOR for responsible gun owners, law enforcement, and security professionals seeking to enhance their existing firearms. With its lightweight design, full-auto bolt carrier group, and self-regulating gas piston system, the RAPTOR prioritizes reliability and performance even in demanding conditions. Additionally, the integral MIL-STD 1913 optic rail and M-LOK compatible handguard provide a platform for customization and optimal user experience.

Geoffrey Herring, founder and CEO of ARES Defense & FightLite Industries said, "Team FightLite is very excited to bring its new Raptor Belt-Fed upper to market on behalf of our loyal customers and shooting enthusiasts everywhere! When I invented our first belt-fed upper in 1998, I never really considered the longevity of the concept; that being a belt-fed upper that conveniently fits onto any AR15 or M16 lower and that upgrades its firepower to that of the M249 SAW.

Over two decades later, demand remains strong and we’ve been manufacturing and shipping variations of our MCR® & AMG™ Dual-Feed products non-stop to prepared US civilians, US government customers, and foreign friendly governments the world over. Experience doesn’t happen in a vacuum and the FightLite design and manufacturing team has accumulated a tremendous amount of knowledge and empirical data related to belt-fed firearm production, performance, and sustainability in the field which has been poured into our exciting new Raptor and its Dual-Feed MCR pedigree.”

The RAPTOR is constructed from high-strength aerospace alloys and boasts a MIL-Spec hard-coat anodize finish, ensuring exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. This dedication to quality materials and construction reinforces FightLite's commitment to providing a premium product built to last.

Currently available at a limited-time introductory price of $3,999.99 (standard MSRP $4,999.99), the RAPTOR represents a significant investment. However, for those seeking unparalleled firepower and adaptability in their AR platform, FightLite's innovation might be a worthwhile upgrade.
