Meet the newest member of the Radian family: Raptor-LT. Utilizing the same patented ambidextrous functionality as its predecessor, the Raptor-LT handles are machined from 7075 aluminum, MILSPEC Type III hard anodized, then over-molded with high-strength, fiberglass reinforced polymer for the ultimate combination of strength, weight, and durability. Compatible with AR10/SR25-pattern rifles, the Raptor-LT is available in black, flat dark earth, and grey, all designed to match standard Magpul® color offerings. Like all Radian products, the Raptor-LT comes with a limited lifetime warranty, and is 100% designed and manufactured in the USA. All other variants coming soon.

Will the 7.62 model work in the S&W MP10?
Yes, with a slight modification to prevent binding. The Raptor does drop right into the upper of the S&W - and cycles smoothly. However, with the bolt/bolt carrier installed, it will bind up.
The hole in the front of the Raptor is a smaller diameter than the stock S&W unit and there is a small "step" in the Raptor right near the front end where the larger trough transitions to the smaller diameter hole. This is where the problem lies.
There is no step in the trough in the S&W stock charging handle.
To mod it so it works, take a small file (chain saw file works) and make the front of the Raptor equal the trough, i.e. remove the step (see pic). Dremel to polish it, put aluminum black on if desired and PRESTO have a working Raptor in an S&W M&P10.
