LWRC International ICDIR5FDC16ML LWRCI Direct 5.56 NATO 16.1" Optics...

The LWRC International ICDIR5FDC16ML is a 5.56 NATO piston-operated rifle engineered for professional end-users, law enforcement, and tactical operators who demand precision, reliability, and modularity in a compact platform. At 16.1 inches, this rifle delivers full rifle performance in a profile suitable for vehicle operations, close-quarters deployment, and confined-space operations where a carbine's handling advantage is critical.

LWRC's piston system has earned respect in the field for delivering consistent accuracy while minimizing the weight and maintenance burden often associated with direct impingement systems in combat-proven environments. The 16.1-inch barrel provides velocity sufficient for 5.56 NATO duty rounds while maintaining a compact overall length of 43 inches—critical for transitioning through doorways, vehicles, and tight tactical spaces without sacrificing sight radius or optic mounting real estate.

At 8.25 pounds, the rifle balances firepower with controllability during extended operations, and the modular design allows field-level customization of furniture, rail systems, and optic mounting configurations to match mission requirements and operator preference. This platform is ideal for SWAT teams, federal operators, private security, and precision riflemen who require a duty rifle capable of adapting to various tactical scenarios.
