Rise Armament

Rise Armament is an Oklahoma based manufacturer focused on AR platform rifles, premium drop in triggers, and precision AR parts. The company grew out of a machining operation that served the oil and aerospace industries, and it brings that background in tight tolerance manufacturing to every firearm and component it produces. From the 1121XR precision rifle to RAVE 140 and RA 535 triggers, Rise Armament has built a reputation for accurate, reliable gear that is designed, machined, and assembled in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Match-Grade AR Trigger Control

Rise Armament puts trigger performance at the center of its brand. Single stage triggers such as the RA 535 Advanced Performance Trigger and RA 434 High Performance Trigger are engineered for minimal creep, crisp breaks around 3.5 pounds, and fast, tactile resets that help shooters stay on target through rapid strings of fire. The RAVE 140 line builds on the successful RA 140 Super Sporting Trigger with a budget friendly housing, anti walk pins, and pull weights that suit a wide range of AR builds.

Competition And Duty Focused Performance

Rise Armament designs its rifles and parts for real use in competition, training, and professional roles. Law enforcement oriented models and the Watchman XR series pair upgraded triggers with premium barrels and free floating handguards to support accurate fire at extended distances. Many rifles ship with sub MOA accuracy guarantees and are tuned to run reliably with common duty and match ammunition, giving shooters confidence from the range to the field.

American-Made Reliability And Longevity

Rise Armament emphasizes in house production and quality control. Receivers, handguards, triggers, and many small parts are machined in their Oklahoma facility, where the team draws on experience in aerospace and oilfield fabrication. Components are built from tool steel, stainless steel, and quality aluminum, then treated with coatings such as nickel Teflon, nickel boron, and black nitride to enhance wear resistance and corrosion protection. The goal is to give shooters rifles and triggers that hold their feel and accuracy after high round counts.

Product Focus

Rifles

Rise Armament rifles are designed as complete systems that highlight the company’s trigger and machining expertise. The 1121XR precision rifle, offered in .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor, is a heavy caliber gas gun built for long range hunting and practical precision shooting. It features sub MOA accuracy guarantees, premium barrels, and quality AR 10 components tuned around a Rise trigger. On the AR 15 side, the Watchman XR 22 ARC rifle is set up for varmint, whitetail, and antelope hunting, as well as PRS style matches. It incorporates an independent two stage trigger, a fluted stainless barrel, and a rigid free floating handguard with a locking attachment system that helps maintain zero. Across the rifle lineup, attention to gas system tuning, handguard design, and overall balance gives shooters fast handling platforms that still support precise work from field or bench.

Triggers

Rise Armament triggers remain the signature product line. The RA 535 Advanced Performance Trigger is often described as a flagship option, with a very short reset, virtually no creep, a clean single stage break around 3.5 pounds, and a slick coating for smooth operation. The RA 434 High Performance Trigger, Patriot High Performance Trigger, Back the Blue, and special edition 1776 models provide additional single stage choices with similar pull weights and anti walk pins included. The RAVE 140 family serves as the second generation of the RA 140 Super Sporting Trigger, offering curved and flat bow options, PCC specific variants, and drop in housings that install easily in most AR 15 lowers. For shooters focused on defensive carbines or pistol caliber carbines, the BLITZ Defense Trigger and LE145 Tactical Trigger are tuned with pull weights and characteristics suited to those roles. Together, these triggers give AR builders a range of options from budget upgrades to match ready components.

AR Parts And Components

Beyond rifles and triggers, Rise Armament offers a catalog of AR parts that let builders and armorers complete or upgrade their rifles with matching components. The RA 902 slimline M LOK handguard is a 15 inch free floating rail that keeps weight low while providing ample space for accessories. The company also produces bolt carrier groups, premium lower parts kits, small parts kits, and other accessories aimed at keeping AR platforms running. These parts are designed to integrate cleanly with Rise triggers and rifles, giving shooters lightweight but durable options for new builds or refresh projects. Using matched handguards, triggers, and internals from a single source also simplifies troubleshooting and support if issues arise down the road.
