UCWRG Raptor

[GOST]

Another sexy version of the Raptor. Wonder if UW has already got one?[:D]

I commented the other night on a pic of his umbrella upper. UCWRG said he had one on the way. Maybe he'll send it to me when he's done fondling it. :fingers crossed: lol

[toolboxluis00200]

i saw it i want one so it will look cool on my Nemesis upper that i build

Of course he does - what type of question is that silly? :P


I believe Geissele also has their own branded Raptor as well.

[DutyUse]

They look good, but gotta be one of the most expensive CH's ever..

I've got enough Raptors... I know is that possible? But if UCWRG is going to send me one, I'm not going to say no. [:D]

[DutyUse]

I got the noveske raptor and love it. But dang almost a 100$?

[GOST]

I've got one of the first ones with no laser engraving, wish you could still get them that way.

I'm all for ambi ... but I'm still not sure if $80-90 would justify the reason.

[CarbonScoring]

I get that the Raptor is a good CH, but is this really worth talking about? It's just another branded Raptor. To me it's like the Noveske (and other) branded TTI Glock base pads. It's no different other than the logo.

Yup... Everyone can slap their own logos on the Raptor if they decide to license it.

Nothing new.

I agree with GOST though. I prefer my original one without any markings whatsoever.

This one looks like the wings may be the same size and filled in, may not be much different but it is different.

Raptors can often be found for $69 these days, but probably not this one.

I bought my last Raptor for $65, and as someone who runs the AR lefty (left eye dominant) it is worth every penny. The Raptor, along with the BAD ASS is standard equipment for me.

[GOST]

Would be cool to see a run of the prototypes.

I like that a lot more than the standard Raptor. Too bad they didn't stick with that design. It looks like it'd be less machining.

[n4p226r]

I love the raptor. I replaced my noveske marked gunfighter with one. It's really nice.


umbrella is the biggest tease though. My buddy has been waiting for over a year I believe for his paid in full billet lower and lower parts kit.

[DutyUse]

What? I got my LPK from them in less then 10 days. Don't think they take back orders

[n4p226r]

It was ordered as part of the billet presale so I'm sure it will ship when/if the billet lowers ever make it to market

I remember when the pre-sale was first offered, he's been waiting that long?

[n4p226r]

Yup. I'm follow up on it more than he does. Mainly because he has so many current builds going on its not a big deal to him. I laugh every month when I get the updates that hint it's any day now. I don't think they shipped any with the exception of a few to industry insiders

[FortTom]

I have to play the antagonist here. I bought a raptor, took a small section of the top of my fingers off, between that and the FA, and almost immediately gave it to a forum member to help with building his friends rifle.
If they were 29 cents, you couldn't sell me another one.

[toolboxluis00200]

i want one for my umbrella upper

Sounds like that sucked. I usually grab mine with the palm of my left hand on the port side. The FA doesn't get in my way.

My Raptor is the plain Jane model but it works.

So do I, GOST. But the whole point was that it was ambidexterous and that was what I was experimenting with when I took the skin off my fingers (actually the skin between my nails and knuckles). I went back to the way I was originally trained and use BCM mod 3's and my left hand. No more enraged usage of language that will melt the paint off the walls:mad:, got rid of Raptor, fingers healed, problem solved.[:D]

[mustangfreek]

I'm in...

Would fit right in, with my unfinished umbrella build..lol..

[GOST]

Isn't this early in the day for you Mustang?[:D]

lol..what...im up all hours of the day...

[Kopis]

i have a raptor that came with my noveske upper. I run the BCM mod 4's on everything else. I like the Mod 4 better on gripping but the raptor is cool. Maybe if i was a left i would buy it. It may not be for everyone but it's not a bad product. Being a righty, i feel like the mod4 is the best bang for my buck.

I 100% agree with this. If you're not a lefty, no real reason to buy an ambi charging handle. However, they are great for off hand shooting, if you practice those kinds of drills.

Umbrella advised me they are sending me a UCWRG Raptor, so I'll post some pics when I see it.

[Computalotapus]

Looking forward to the pictures. I am not a lefty and I love my RA raptor and will continue to get them for my personal builds. I do a lot of cross body charging when running drills. ( ie. weapon held in right hand pointing down across my body. left hand over the top of the weapon using my pinky or heal of my palm to grab the charging handle and racking the round into the chamber. ) It is something that I I have picked up and has worked for me so far. I do all my chamber checks and I also use the ambi side when do malfunction drills (so far I have not had a single malfunction while running a course).

oh thats a cool drill, ill have to try that when my gun gets out of cerakote! I like the raptor but for 2x the price it's not for me as i dont do 3 gun and am not LEO. My upper just happened to come with it. I dont see how anyone can hate on them though. If you have the money/like them, then get one. Certainly not a bad product by any means.

dont forget the salt

Since everybody and their mama has their own branded Raptor, where's the WEVO? It needs to have the solid levers like the prototype.

I thought the only billet umbrella lowers out there were just a few made for photographers. Did anyone actually get one out of a production run?

uhhhh WHAT?

I'm aware of the HUUCR's but I was asking about the Billet receivers.

yes is for the billet they say they had QC issues and CNC issues

I don't believe they ever made HUUCR Billet Lowers, or released any.

i never seed that the did Billet blemish lower just there regular Blemish lowers :)

That might get me to try one out.

yeah people are always saying "i have a NOVESKE raptor" or whatever brand. Dude, you have a raptor. Cool story.

Didn't realize you were so touchy. How would one explain one from the other without that pre-fix?

I know people have paid for billet lowers. I'm not aware of any actually getting shipped though. i wonder what they threw in for the stick giveaway

[Computalotapus]

I know that their customer service is top notch. Nothing but good things with my experience with them. If there is a delay in their product I am sure their customers know about it.

I use my raptor on my DMR. Makes it easier to charge from prone under my scope.

Just got it off my porch =D

Good looking piece.

[Thompson]

Love the composition - looks great in black & white. What color grip did you get?

[toolboxluis00200]

looks nice. I have to wait till next year to get one

It's the black grip. Finally was able to get my hands on one after waiting 2 months lol

of course their customers know about it. they paid with nothing in hand. i was subscribed for a while to their newsletter. now it seems that most of the stuff is just on Facebook now. but "another month or two" seems to be a standard response.

Nice. Didn't realize the demand was that high for their grips.

[DutyUse]

Tactical link has them for 19$..
