“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.”
