Description

Ultralight rifle 2A Armament – BALIOS-LITE 7.5”
2A Armament is an American manufacturer specializing in ultralight AR-15s and AR-10s. He intelligently modified the external geometry of his carcasses and his receivers so as not to weaken them.
The lightening operations were not limited to the removal of material, but also consisted in modifying the geometry of the zones which undergo the most stresses so as not to weaken them. The most striking example is the rear edge of the receiver which is stiffer than a normal receiver and thicker in the most stressed area, and this while maintaining a construction in aeronautical alloy type 7075T6 .
Several titanium parts complete the set. The difference in weight, compared to a light conventional model, is enough to compensate in whole or in large part the mass of the optical sighting system which will equip the rifle.
The balance and maneuverability of these weapons are simply exceptional and it is enough to have one in your hands to be convinced of this.

• AR-15 type semi-automatic rifle with direct throttle.
• 7.5” barrel in CrMoV 4150 steel protected by double nitriding (QPQ).

• The rifling pitch of 1 turn in 7″ makes it possible to stabilize the MK262 or any other cartridge equipped with a 77 grain projectile as well as all other conventional cartridges with a lighter projectile.
• Gas fret 2A Armament in certified 6AL-4V titanium.
• 2A Armament model T3 compensator in certified 6AL-4V titanium (standard thread 1/2″x28tpi).
• Frame and receiver in 7075T6 aeronautical alloy machined from a block.
• The carcass includes a screw with polymer key to eliminate the possible game which could exist with the receiver.
• The “lower” (the frame) is compatible with AR15 conversions whose dimensions are MilSpec.
• The “upper” (barreled action) is compatible with all AR15 receivers whose dimensions are MilSpec.
• The barrel extension and the breech box feature the M4 type feed ramps.
• Cylinder head in special 9310 steel controlled by magnetic particle inspection, cryogenized and protected by double nitriding (QPQ).
• Type 8620 steel conveyor, protected by double nitriding (QPQ).
• Type 303 stainless steel rear conveyor mass.
• The bolt carrier has an inverted weight distribution compared to a normal carrier (most weight, which is usually above the magazine well, is moved back to the safety level) for better balance.
• Machined steel extractor then protected by double nitriding (QPQ).
• Carrier key protected by double nitriding (QPQ) with crimped screws.
