Raptor Defense RD15 | 5.56mm | 16″ Barrel | 30rd

The Raptor Defense RD15 is a semi-automatic carbine chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO with a 16″ barrel and a 30-round magazine. Built on a billet aluminum receiver with a 15″ M-LOK handguard and an M4-style collapsible stock, it is configured as a CQB combo pack intended for versatile field use. For a practical optic under $1000, a low-power variable such as the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x pairs well with the RD15 for both close and intermediate-range engagements.

Typical applications include recreational range training and practical carbine competition where a compact, controllable 5.56 platform is desirable.
