Overview
The RISE Legacy is a special-edition .223 Wylde AR-15 from RISE Armament, finished in an American flag Cerakote design, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Folds of Honor charity. It features a 16-inch 416R stainless steel barrel with RISE's proprietary fluting for accuracy and weight reduction, a mid-length gas system, milled 7075 aluminum billet upper and lower receivers, and a 15-inch RA-902 M-LOK handguard. The Legacy is fitted with the RISE Patriot Trigger at a 3.5-pound pull, the RA-701 compensator (which RISE rates at up to 67 percent recoil reduction), a Magpul CTR carbine stock, and a premium nickel boron-coated bolt carrier group. Like the rest of RISE's complete rifles, it carries a guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy standard and a lifetime warranty, and ships with a rifle case.
