In fact, AR-10 rifles are one of the fastest growing segments in shooting sports, especially among those who build personal AR platforms. Unfortunately, while most AR-10 rifles are known for rugged reliability, they are also relatively heavy. As a result, many ardent shooters look to the 2A Armament Xanthos-Lite Receiver when building an AR-10 style rifle.

The Xanthos-Lite was developed in-house as a lightweight solution for users who seek quality design and functionality in a large-frame AR build. In addition to sharing common DPMS HIGH standard for rail height, allowing it to accept most standard accessories.

The receiver is machined from U.S.A. sourced 7075-T6 billet aluminum with a pocketed design that reduces weight and enhanced appearance. It also comes with an integrated and lightened trigger guard and the forward assist was also removed to bring the stripped upper and lower down to a mere 16 ounces of total weight.
