HM Defense

Note: This item only shows "out of stock" because agency/department purchases cannot be completed via the web site. We have plenty of these rifles available and look forward to discussing how the HM Defense Raider SBR can be a fantastic addition to your armory.

Many agencies have started moving towards short barreled rifles instead of standard length patrol rifles. They’re handy when maneuvering in tight rooms and hallways and they can be easier to pull in and out of a patrol car.

One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the need for reliability and durability. The HM Defense patented HMB bolt and Monobloc barrel deliver the reliability and durability that you and your officers require.

The vast majority of production from HM Defense goes to U.S. and allied militaries and to the law enforcement community so they’re not a well known brand in the U.S. commercial market. The agencies that are running these rifles, however, are raving fans and your department can now equip your team with a battle-proven AR platform rifle that looks as great as it shoots.

We think that the build quality of these rifles is equal to or better than some of the more well-known commercial brands that cost about twice as much. It’s not just our opinion, either. We hear the same from our law enforcement customers. Here’s a couple of things that you won’t immediately notice that make for a better, longer lasting rifle that stands up to the demands of being carried on patrol.

The barrel: In the HM Monobloc Barrel, the gas block is part of the same stock as the barrel. It’s literally a part of the barrel and eliminates malfunctions that come from a loose or out of alignment gas block and the harmonic vibration that can come from that. The result? Greater accuracy and better reliability.

The bolt: If there’s a weak point in the AR design, it’s in the bolt. Typical AR bolts have the cam pin hole going all the way through the bolt. That leaves just the two side walls of the bolt to absorb the recoil and twisting stress of normal firing. The HMB bolt shortens the cam pin, eliminating the need to bore all the way through the bolt. That gives you strength on three sides, eliminates friction on the firing pin and results in smoother operation, in addition to a bolt that will last significantly longer.

The Raider 556 SBR is available in either 12.5 inch or 9.5 inch barrel lengths. Full specifications are shown in the attached photos.
