1791 Industries LiteRaider ultralight AR-15 LRM4 upper receivers and LRM4 lower receivers are now available. These innovative receivers are manufactured using a groundbreaking, Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) material that is 33% lighter than aluminum, yet just as strong and durable. 1791 LiteRaider products are designed and engineered to fully exploit the benefits of this new material, offering comparable strength and durability to 7075-T6 aluminum while providing better thermal resistance and weight reduction.
Both the LRM4 Upper Receiver and LRM4 Lower Receiver are the lightest metal receivers available built to Mil-Spec. The LiteRaider stripped lower receiver weighs just 6.2 ounces, while the new LiteRaider stripped upper weighs just 4.8 ounces. This is significantly lighter than typical aluminum receivers while offering more strength, vibration dampening, and durability. The combined weight reduction of the upper and lower receivers is crucial for building a lightweight AR-15 or duty-grade rifle without sacrificing strength, durability or performance.
1791 LiteRaider sets a new standard for weight-to-performance ratios and reliability for modern firearm components. Other accessories and components being introduced include:
- Lightweight Handguards for AR-15/M4 and AK platforms
- Hand Stops
- 1913 Rail Sections
The new 1791 LiteRaider material combines pure metals with ceramic nanoparticles, offering superior vibration dampening, high-temperature resistance, and exceptional strength, yet it weighs less than the same volume of 7075-T6 aluminum. With 1791 LiteRaider, shooters and enthusiasts can experience cutting-edge technology designed to enhance functionality without compromising durability or adding weight.
Justin Hoffman - Director of Product Development at 1791 Industries, expressed his excitement about the new LiteRaider Upper and Lower receivers now being available:
"We are developing this technology specifically for the military and law enforcement duty space. However, as ardent patriots here at 1791, we wanted to make it available to citizens at the same time, because everyone deserves a five and a half pound fighting rifle; especially the citizenry."
Both the LRM4 Upper Receiver and LRM4 Lower Receivers are both anodized and cerakoted for maximum finish durability. Available in Black or Flat Dark Earth, the LRM4 Upper Receiver is now available with an MSRP of $299.99, and the LRM4 Lower Receiver is now available with an MSRP of $329.99.
