1791 Outdoor Lifestyle Group, which is primarily known for its leather holsters, has recently launched 1791 Industries. This subsidiary is tasked with the production of a new ultra-lightweight line of tactical accessories and components known as LiteRaider. LiteRaider products are manufactured from a metal nanocomposite material called “Magnite” which offers greater strength, durability and thermal resistance compared to traditional 6061 series aluminum, a common metal used for tactical accessories. In addition to the increased level of strength, Magnite is also 33-percent lighter than 6061 aluminum.
Ramiro Romani, CEO of the 1791 Outdoor Lifestyle Group, expressed his excitement about the launch: “With LiteRaider, we’re taking firearms accessories to the next level. Magnite not only delivers unparalleled strength and weight reduction but also sets a new standard for innovation in the industry. Magnite combines pure metals with ceramic nanoparticles, offering superior vibration dampening, high-temperature resistance and exceptional strength, yet it weighs less than the same volume of 6061 T6 aluminum. With LiteRaider, shooters and enthusiasts can experience cutting-edge technology designed to enhance functionality without compromising durability or adding weight.”
Most of the accessories manufactured from Magnite by 1791 Industries are geared towards the tactical and modern AR-15 market segment, so they include items such as:
- Lightweight handguards for AR-pattern and Kalashnikov-pattern firearms
- AR-15 magazine extensions
- Scope mounts and rings
- AR-15 upper receivers
- AR-15 lower receiver
- Ambidextrous AR-15 charging handles
1791 Industries is currently developing other products made from Magnite that have yet to be announced. 1791 Industries plans to start shipping the above listed accessories with a March 2025 timeframe.
