Rise Armament expanded its inventory of AR components, adding the new RA-1010 Low Mass Bolt Carrier Group to its lineup.
The RA-1010 Low Mass BCG aims to make rifle builds lighter and more maneuverable, according to Rise Armament, with a design that minimizes felt recoil. Tipping scales at just under 8.9-ounces, the BCG is constructed of 8620 steel, while the bolt is 9310 steel.
The setup is topped off with a black nitride finish to enhance strength and reduce friction. The RA-1010 BCG boasts compatibility with lighter buffers for quick follow-up shots on target.

This is one of the easiest ways to enhance the performance of any AR-platform rifle. As a competitive shooter, every one of my guns will have one in it.”
