The LWRC IC-DI 5.56mm Rifle is a direct-impingement-operated semi-automatic built by LWRC International around a 16-inch barrel and finished in Flat Dark Earth (brand part no. ICDIR5FDR16ML). Unlike LWRC’s proprietary short-stroke piston carbines, the IC-DI line runs a direct-impingement gas system for shooters who prefer that operating platform in an LWRC-built rifle. A free-float M-LOK handguard gives a slim, modular gripping surface for lights, grips, and other accessories, and the FDE finish suits both range and duty-style use. It’s built for shooters who want LWRC’s fit and finish paired with a familiar direct-impingement operating system.
