LFBRL84045) is an AR-15-pattern rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO, machined from custom 6061-T6 billet aluminum receivers for a precision-fit build.

Four QD sling attachment points add flexible carry options, and the whole rifle is purpose-built to be accurate and reliable in any situation. This is a lightweight, no-frills fighting rifle for shooters who want billet quality without excess weight.
