The Avalanche's interchangeable handles from our Hex Handles and TAC1 Handles offers a customized look and feel while preserving the fast and fluid motion from either your strong or support side. The longer TAC1 latches offer easier operation with larger optics or thicker gloves. The body & handles are made from 7075 billet aluminum and MILSPEC Type III Hard anodized. Like all Rainier Arms products, the Avalanche comes with a lifetime limited warranty and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The Avalanche is designed and manufactured in our own facility in Wichita, KS USA.
