Product Overview
The LWRC SIX8 A5 is an AR-platform rifle purpose-built to leverage the ballistic advantages of the 6.8 SPC cartridge, providing superior terminal performance compared to 5.56 NATO. This rifle integrates LWRC’s proprietary short-stroke gas piston operating system. This system isolates combustion gases from the receiver and bolt carrier group, promoting cleaner operation, reducing heat signature, and contributing to consistent cycling under diverse environmental conditions.
