HM Defense RaiderM556 — 5.56 NATO/.223, AR-15 Platform, Monobloc® Barrel, Free-Float M-LOK® Rail (HMP15FMB556 | UPC 854164007418)

Built to run hard and shoot straight, the HM Defense RaiderM556 is a premium 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem AR-15 that centers on HM’s patented Monobloc® barrel system for rock-solid reliability and accuracy. By machining the gas block directly into the barrel, the RaiderM556 reduces failure points, improves alignment, and delivers repeatable performance across high round counts. Add a free-float M-LOK® handguard, forged receivers, and a threaded muzzle for your favorite brake or suppressor (where legal), and you’ve got a modern carbine that’s ready for defense, duty-style training, or long days on steel.

Why Shooters Choose the RaiderM556

• Monobloc® advantage: An integral gas block is part of the barrel itself—no pins or set screws to loosen—supporting consistent cycling and improved barrel harmonics.

• Free-float accuracy: The rigid handguard isolates rail-mounted accessories from the barrel, helping maintain point of impact with lights, stops, and lasers attached.

• AR-15 familiarity: Standard controls and parts compatibility make the platform easy to maintain, upgrade, and tailor to your mission.

• Threaded muzzle (5.56 standard): Typically 1/2x28 for brakes, comps, and suppressor mounts—verify your exact barrel markings before installation.

• Hard-use build: Forged receivers, quality coatings, and clean machining reflect HM Defense’s emphasis on durability and real-world reliability.

Day-One Setup Tips

1. Optic selection: Pair with a micro red dot or 1-6x/1-8x LPVO. Confirm torque with a calibrated wrench and witness-mark your screws.

2. Zero smart: A 50/200-yd or 36-yd zero keeps holds intuitive across most defensive and practical distances.

3. White light placement: Mount at 1–3 o’clock with a reachable switch; test for minimal shadowing around your muzzle device or can.

4. Mag reliability: Test your magazines with both training and preferred defensive loads; replace weak springs and mark any outliers.

5. Muzzle device checks: Use proper shims and torque; re-zero after any change. For suppressor use, verify alignment with a rod before firing.

Ownership & Maintenance

• Run it wet: Lightly lube bolt lugs, cam pin, rails, and charging handle contact points.

• Keep the bore/gas path clean: Periodically clean the chamber and carbon-prone areas; the Monobloc® design helps keep alignment consistent over time.

• Hardware audit: Re-check handguard, optic, and muzzle device torque after travel or high round counts.

Compliance & Safety

• Know your laws: Magazine capacity, muzzle devices, and transport rules vary by state and locality. Confirm compliance before purchase or configuration.

• Safety first: Follow the four rules; validate reliability with your chosen ammunition before defensive use.
