Fightlite Industries Scr Raider Pistol 5.56 Mlok
The Fightlite Industries SCR Raider Pistol in 5.56 NATO is a gas-operated, semi-automatic firearm that redefines what a modern pistol can do. Built on a rotating bolt platform with a free-floated barrel, this 5.56 pistol bridges the gap between a conventional handgun and a short-barreled rifle—delivering rifle-caliber performance and accuracy in a compact, portable package. At just 3.9 pounds and 20.25 inches overall length, the Raider is light enough for truck storage, range days, or any situation where you want serious capability without the footprint of a full carbine.
Fightlite engineers the Raider from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum receivers and 4150 vanadium barrels, all finished with MIL-Spec coatings that resist corrosion under harsh conditions—mud, sand, rain, ice, and salt spray included. The gas-ferritic nitrocarburized barrel is factory-threaded 1/2-28 TPI for standard suppressors, muzzle brakes, and flash hiders, so you can tailor the Raider to your mission right out of the box. Magazine compatibility with standard AR15/M16 platforms means you're not locked into proprietary gear; any 5.56 mag will work, and the pistol accepts a full range of Modern Sporting Rifle uppers, barrels, bolts, and optics, simplifying logistics if you're already running an AR platform.
The 12-inch MIL-STD 1913 top rail accepts virtually any modern optic, and the Magpul M-Lok handguard gives you flexible options for mounting lights, lasers, vertical grips, and other tactical accessories. This is a shooter's gun—American-made, built to tight tolerances, and backed by a lifetime guarantee. Whether you're training, hunting medium game at extended distance, or looking for a deep-utility firearm that outperforms standard pistol-caliber options, the SCR Raider is engineered to deliver.
