Broken Arrow, Oklahoma — August 14, 2018 — RISE Armament, a premier manufacturer and supplier of AR firearms and components, is proud to announce their new limited-edition Legacy Rifle.
The Legacy Rifle provides incredible performance and dependability; it’s guaranteed sub MOA and backed by a transferable lifetime warranty.
The .223 Wylde caliber Legacy Rifle weighs in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces and is packed with features, including the lightweight RISE Armament CB-160 Barrel — a favorite among competitive shooters. It sports the Patriot Trigger, which RISE Armament developed in support of Folds of Honor. The high-performance trigger has a crisp, clean break and fast reset.
The Legacy Rifle combines the best in accuracy, reliability, and speed in a lightweight package that screams, “God bless America.” As a tribute to our veterans, it features an American flag pattern, which RISE Armament created with durable Cerakote coating.
The Legacy Rifle also showcases the Folds of Honor logo, a nod to the foundation it benefits.
Dedicated to honoring and aiding veterans, Folds of Honor provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of those who were killed or disabled while serving our nation. RISE is donating a portion of each Legacy Rifle sale to the foundation.
“The Legacy Rifle is our third product we’ve developed to support veterans and their families through Folds of Honor,” says Matt Torres, president of RISE Armament. “Our entire team is incredibly proud to continue our mission to make a lasting impact through the products we create. Folds of Honor is making a difference that will carry on for generations, and we’re humbled to be a part of that.” For more information about the RISE Armament and Folds of Honor partnership, click here.
