The LWRC IC-A5 in 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem (brand part no. ICA5R5TG16) descends from rifles LWRC developed for the U.S. Army Individual Carbine program, adding a low-profile 2-position adjustable gas block that lets shooters compensate for running a suppressor. LWRC pairs a 16.1-inch spiral-fluted barrel with a 1:7-inch twist and a 12-inch user-configurable SPR-style rail system, and the rifle feeds from a 30-round magazine. A fully ambidextrous lower, LWRC Enhanced Fire Control Group, and Magpul MOE+ grip round out the build, with LWRC’s Skirmish back-up iron sights and an A2 birdcage flash hider included. Among modern sporting rifles in the AR rifles category, the IC-A5 favors shooters who want an adjustable-gas-block piston rifle for suppressed or unsuppressed use.
