The RAIDER is built using a double wall extrusion creating one of the most rigid free-float platforms in its weight class with M-Lok compatible mounting point. Its unique architecture that balances weight, rigidity, and capability translates to a more consistent zero retention with handguard mounted electro-optics and lasers. MIL-STD-1913 remains the most durable interface for mission essential equipment. Accordingly, the BCM RAIDER offers Pic rails where these enhancements are most likely to be positioned with six channels of Pic rail interfaces at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, as well as an uninterrupted 1913 rail along the top of the handguard. Finally, a series of ports have been positioned to enable pass throughs for securing vital equipment for securing vital equipment with zip ties or MIL-SPEC cording.
