LWRC Individual Carbine CA Compliant 5.56 NATO 16" FDE Rifle

The LWRC Individual Carbine delivers military-grade performance in a California-compliant configuration. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle combines LWRC's proven gas piston system with premium components for exceptional reliability and accuracy.

What Makes This Different

LWRC's short-stroke gas piston system runs cleaner and cooler than direct impingement alternatives, reducing fouling by up to 80% compared to standard AR-15 platforms. The exclusive Flat Dark Earth anodized receiver provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-profile appearance. Cold hammer-forged barrel construction ensures consistent accuracy throughout extended firing sessions.

Key Features

• Short-stroke gas piston system eliminates gas blowback and reduces maintenance requirements
• 16.10" cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate optimized for 55-77 grain projectiles
• Exclusive Flat Dark Earth Type III hard anodized receiver finish
• Magpul MOE+ pistol grip with enhanced texture and ergonomic design
• Six-position adjustable stock accommodates various shooting positions and gear configurations
• Optics-ready flat-top receiver with full-length Picatinny rail
• California-compliant configuration with 10-round magazine capacity

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition, while the gas piston system maintains reliability through adverse conditions including sand, mud, and temperature extremes. The platform excels in competitive shooting, patrol duty, and precision applications where consistent performance matters. A2 flash hider effectively reduces muzzle flash while maintaining proper timing.
