LWRC IC-DI 5.56 NATO 16" Rifle Kit - Direct Impingement AR-15

The LWRC IC-DI rifle kit delivers precision engineering in a direct impingement platform that outperforms standard AR-15 configurations. This complete kit provides everything needed to build a reliable 5.56 NATO rifle with LWRC's proven manufacturing quality. The system combines enhanced components with streamlined assembly for shooters seeking performance without compromise.

What Makes This Different

LWRC's IC-DI platform incorporates proprietary enhancements that address common AR-15 weaknesses. The cold hammer-forged barrel features a spiral fluted design that reduces weight while maintaining rigidity. Unlike standard mil-spec triggers, the included trigger group provides a crisp 4.5-pound break with minimal overtravel. The enhanced bolt carrier group includes upgraded materials and coatings for extended service life.

Key Features

• 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
• Spiral fluted barrel profile reduces weight by 4 ounces while maintaining accuracy
• Enhanced bolt carrier group with proprietary coating for corrosion resistance
• Ambidextrous lower receiver accommodates left and right-handed shooters
• LWRC compact stock with multiple length-of-pull adjustments
• Mid-length gas system reduces felt recoil and improves cycling reliability
• Modular rail system accepts standard Picatinny accessories

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition across various environmental conditions. The mid-length gas system cycles reliably with both 55-grain and 77-grain projectiles, making it suitable for competition shooting, tactical applications, and hunting scenarios. The enhanced barrel profile maintains zero retention through temperature fluctuations and sustained fire sequences.
