#Balios

Adding to my growing list of “companies I wish I had the time to visit at SHOT 2017”, 2A Armament is a maker of ultralight AR parts that are both stylish and functional. Sporting a redesigned grip on the flared magazine well and integrated QD sling attachment points, the new Atheon receivers will mate up perfectly with the current Balios series of rails and receivers.

2A Armament, known for their ultra-light Balios-lite receiver set and rifle for the intermediate caliber AR-15, has upped the offering to full battle-rifle calibers with their Xanthos-Lite receiver set. The new recevier set, introduced and sold as matched pairs (due to the large variation of specifications within the .308 world) is geared for “large-frame” parts and components (meaning DPMS LR-308 or “Gen-1” components).
