NEW AXTS Weapons Rifle

[UWone77]

Hell, for the longest time if you asked people who the Raptor was made by they would say Rainier Arms, which I think is partially why AXTS took it away, but that part is purely speculation.

That's not even remotely how it happened. If you don't know, please don't spread misinformation, since afterall, it is speculation as you put it.

Nice looking rifle. I dig the lines on the lower a lot. The pmag pattern on the Magwell was a good move (as long as you like pmags anyhow).

I did say it was speculation. Most people though did think the Raptor was a RA product since they did a very good job with their branding which was my point that was omitted from the quote.

Again you don't know the back story.

RA actually has 2 full time designers, and employ 8 machinists, on their own machines. Just because you don't see the CNC machines at the location, doesn't mean they don't do it off site.

Their full rifles are using their AX556 lower, right?

From the pictures it looks like the A-DAC, not the AX556. The A-DAC is the billet lower with fully ambi controls. The AX556 is the forge lower with only the bolt-hold-mag -button mod. No ambi dropping of the bolt, no ambi mag release.

Rob I think you are backwards on that

[bzdog]

Right. AX556 is billet with full ambi, bolt hold.

Here's the BCG they're using, looks like black nitride has replaced NiB as the new popular trend.

Funny you say that. My ST Croix Tactical NIB carrier had some discoloration and they offered to replace it with another NiB or anything I wanted. Since I couldn't spring $250 for the Ti version, so I went this the black nitrate one lol.

Having never had a NiB BCG in the collection I can't compare, but by far the nicest BCG i've ever used, Hell even felt is the Fathom. Not just saying that because I own it either, when I oil it the next day theres a puddle underneath…its so slick. IMHO I think this is the coating of the future… hell it's been proven with Glocks for 2 decades now. It's tough, durable, and when you get the process down fairly cost effective.

That said, on my WEVO/RA build I'm going with This NiB BCG . So I'll be able to give a more educated first hand testament between the three coatings.

There's also microslick...

Looks like NiB Raptors are coming.

Thats pretty cool, I wonder if this coating, or the one used by fortis will prevent that use marks that develop on CH's after you've used them a lot. My OCD goes crazy when I see my 80$ CH with all it's coating worn off.
