Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Talon safety selector be configured for both 45° and 90° throws?
Yes. The Talon's modular shaft design allows you to switch between a 45° short-throw and a standard 90° throw simply by rotating the shaft 180° inside the lower receiver during installation — no additional parts or tools required. This makes it easy to dial in whichever throw angle suits your shooting style or competition ruleset.
Is the Raptor charging handle compatible with suppressed AR-15 builds?
Absolutely. The Raptor's oversized, fully ambidextrous latch paddles make it significantly easier to cycle the action under increased back-pressure common with suppressed firearms. Its robust 7075 aluminum construction also handles the added stress of suppressed fire without issue, making it a popular choice among suppressor users.
Do the Raptor and Talon require any gunsmithing or special tools to install?
Both components are designed for straightforward installation using standard AR-15 armorer's tools. The Raptor drops into any standard mil-spec upper receiver, and the Talon replaces your existing safety selector with basic hand tools. The dovetail lever retention system means no set screws to torque down or risk losing — making field installation clean and reliable.
