LWRC's M6A2 Special Purpose Rifle

The LWRC SPR comes with fold-down rear sights.

LWRC International's Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) is an M4 variant that operates with a clean mid-length gas-piston system.

On the SPR, a LMT SOPMOD Magpul MIAD retractable stock comes standard.

Aimpoint's Comp M4 Red Dot optic is designed to operate for 80,000 hours even if kept on.

LWRC's SPR also uses a distinctive weight-saving bolt-on rail system.
