Lockhart Raven Questions

[juancarlos]

Some questions for you Raven owners.

I am considering buying a Lower and a 9mm builders kit (doesn't come with lower, listed under caliber kits). I know the takedown pins are not captive and there is four of them vice two on an AR. So my questions are:

1. Does either the lower or the builders/caliber kit come with all 4 pins needed?

2. Is there any other parts that are not compatible with AR15 such as parts you would normally see and a LPK?

3. I know the top charging handle on the 5.56 version is different but my understanding is that the 9mm uses a standard CH?

4. Does anyone know if Lockhart does local pickup? Their company is listed on Vancouver Island.

Thanks in advance.

1. If you purchase the builders kit you will receive (4) standard takedown pins unless the extended pins are selected on their website.

The calibre kit doesn’t clarify but the picture shows 3 pins so that would be a good question to email them.

2. Mostly all AR15 parts are compatible. Everything from a LPK will work except for the trigger guard, takedown pins, and Bolt catch(without modifications)

The BCG is proprietary for both the 9mm and 5.56

5.56 Bolts are compatible

The firing pin on the 9mm is AR15 compatible. The 5.56 firing pin is proprietary.

3. 9mm Ravens use standard AR15 charging handles

5.56 Ravens use proprietary Handles, or a modified Radian Raptor DPMS Gen 2 handle, there is also a guy on ####### selling custom ones

4. Lockhart DOES NOT do local pickup, you either have to purchase from their website or through a gun dealer.

Any other questions please feel free to ask!
