The LWRC DI Direct Impingement in 5.56 NATO (brand part no. ICDIR5B16ML) brings LWRC’s build quality to a traditional direct-impingement operating system, pairing a cold-hammer-forged spiral-fluted barrel with fully ambidextrous lower controls. LWRC threads the 16.1-inch barrel at 1/2×28 with a 1-in-7-inch twist, and the rifle feeds from a 30-round magazine. A modular one-piece free-float rail, an Enhanced Fire Control Group, an A2 birdcage flash hider, and an adjustable compact stock round out the build, along with an ambidextrous charging handle and a Magpul MOE+ grip. Among modern sporting rifles in the AR rifles category, the DI favors shooters who want LWRC quality in a familiar direct-impingement platform.
