The Special Duty RAIDER15 is a 16-inch, suppressor-ready rifle manufactured in the USA, designed for law enforcement, personal defense, and team operations. It features a 16-inch cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel that ensures lasting accuracy and durability. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, this rifle is upgraded from the factory for optimal reliability in demanding conditions.

Included with the RAIDER15 is a suppressor-compatible Dead Air KeyMo Flash Hider, which facilitates easy suppressor attachment while minimizing muzzle flash and recoil. The rifle is equipped with a direct impingement gas system and an adjustable gas block, allowing for precise tuning when using a suppressor. The DLC-coated bolt carrier group enhances durability and ensures smooth cycling. Additionally, an ambidextrous bolt catch lever improves handling for rapid right- and left-handed users. The Geissele SD-C combat trigger provides a crisp, responsive pull, enhancing the response for trigger pulls and resets.

The Special Duty RAIDER15 is available in Black, FDE (Flat Dark Earth), and OD Green, giving users options to suit any mission or personal preference. Proudly made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.

What Is An Assault Weapon Ban?
An Assault Weapon Ban is a law passed at the state level that restricts or outright prohibits the sale, transfer, possession, or manufacture of certain firearms that the state defines as "assault weapons." These laws vary from state to state, but they typically focus on semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns with certain style features.


FFL Compliance:
FFLs can purchase firearms that are not legal in their state if they are for sale to law enforcement, military, or out-of-state sales. Connecticut is the exception; they can only order firearms to fill law enforcement and military orders and cannot keep regulated firearms as stock.


LAST UPDATED: 09/03/2025

  • Once shipped, WATCHTOWER Firearms typically deliver to FFLs within 3-5 business days.
  • Important: All firearms must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer in compliance with federal law. Please see our “State Compliance” to learn if you live in a gun friendly State.
  • FFL Selection is available when checking out.
