LWRC INTERNATIONAL LWRC International, LLC was founded to pursue the development of a short-stroke gas-piston operated version of the AR15/M16/M4 family of weapons. Our research and development activities have focused on eliminating the inherent shortcomings in the direct impingement operating system. These efforts have resulted in our family of M6 short-stroke, gas-piston operated rifles and carbines, which improve on the direct impingement system by operating cleaner, cooler, and with greater accuracy - and they do so with greater reliability and longer service life. LWRCI is headquartered in Cambridge, Maryland, utilizing three facilities totaling over 250,000 square feet. Our manufacturing capability includes over fifty state-of-the-art CNC machine centers, laser cutting machines, screw machines, robotic welding, and mil-spec painting - all of which comply with ISO-9001 International Standards. LWRCI also complies with AS9100 to ensure Configuration Management. Our senior management team is a group of proven executives who collectively have more than 100 years experience in managing high performance defense companies. Our engineering team, likewise, consists of dedicated professionals who have been nationally recognized in both the firearms and defense communities for the development of LWRC International s patented self-regulating short-stroke, gas-piston system. 40299.indd 2 12/29/08 5:08:20 PM
MISSION Our mission at LWRCI is to provide absolutely reliable, consistently accurate, and extremely durable tools for the civilian sportsman warfighter and law enforcement officer. Through innovative design, disciplined engineering, and the use of state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and materials technologies, our products are built to exceed the requirements and expectations of our end users. At LWRCI we pride ourselves on a customer service program that is second to none. Over the years, our many satisfied customers have helped us build a reputation for excellence throughout the defense, commercial and international firearms arenas. TECHNOLOGY LWRCI has engineered a complete solution to the deficits found in the direct impingement M16/AR15/M4 family of rifles and carbines. The principal improvement comes from the incorporation of our patented self-regulating short-stroke gas-piston system. This system eliminates the venting of hot, carbon-laden gases into the receiver and bolt carrier group, thus eliminating the intensive cleaning regime of the legacy rifle. It also means the bolt carrier group and associated springs are not subjected to the searing heat of the tapped gasses, this being one of the major causes of small parts failure. This translates into carbines that are far more reliable than the legacy direct impingement carbines regardless of user maintenance. Another benefit of our shortstroke gas-piston system is the improved handling characteristics of our weapons over the direct impingement legacy weapons. Recoil is lighter and muzzle rise is greatly reduced. Amazingly, this is accomplished in a carbine that is ergonomically identical, weighs almost the same, and retains 80% parts commonality with the legacy direct impingement carbine. But our revolutionary shortstroke gas-piston system is only one of the improvements we ve made in the legacy carbine. LWRCI rifles and carbines utilize cold hammer forged barrels made out of 41V45 steel alloy and treated with NiCorr surface conversion technology. Cold hammer forging takes an oversized barrel blank, and using high pressure rotary hammers, compacts the barrel blank over a mandrel. This forms perfect rifling devoid of tool marks. It also compacts the molecular structure of the metal making it denser and stronger. These barrels can take a lot more use and abuse than a standard barrel before any degradation in accuracy or loss of velocity. NiCorr surface conversion has proved more lubricious, harder wearing, more heat and corrosion resistant than the hard chrome normally used in the bore. Our barrels can handle 20,000 rounds before replacement, as compared to 6,000-10,000 rounds on a standard M4. And finally, in one of the most recent upgrades to our rifles, the bolt carriers of all M6 rifles are now coated with a proprietary nickel coating that nearly eliminates corrosion while providing greatly increased lubricity. This coating provides permanent lubrication to the moving parts. This nickel coating is similar to that being used by the US Army Research Lab and USSOCOM to extend the service life of their weapons systems. We are constantly researching the latest technology to bring our customers the most reliable, the most durable and the best handling rifles and carbines in the world. 1 40299.indd 3 12/29/08 5:08:22 PM

M6A4 Born of a concept developed by the USMC, the Infantry Automatic Rifle represents a weapon system designed to combat today s modern threats. With the majority of today s conflicts occurring in built-up urban landscapes, and battles becoming faster and more fluid, the designated SAW gunner needs a lighter, handier, more reliable, and surgically precise weapon. The M6A4 rifle fulfills this need and then some! The M6A4 Infantry Automatic Rifle, fires from a closed bolt on semi-automatic, giving the gunner accurate rifleman capability, and from open bolt during full auto, cooling the chamber and barrel and reducing the potential of a cook-off after extended fire. After switching to full auto, the M6A4 rifle will fire the first round from a closed bolt, ensuring maximum accuracy. This also allows its user to be the first man in a stack when clearing structures because, unlike the conventional belt-fed SAW, the M6A4 Infantry Automatic Rifle will provide a 99.7% chance of first round ignition. A finned, heavy-weight barrel stands up to the increased demand placed on a weapon from sustained automatic fire. The M6A4 rifle s format is derived from the proven M4/ M16 design allowing warfighters to use pre-developed muscle memory and ensuring immediate familiarity.

Why 6.8mm SPC? The PSD rifle combines submachine gun size with a battle rifle cartridge and our ultra reliable gas-piston operating system, offering the professional shooter never-before realized capabilities in one sweet little package. The 6.8 x 43mm SPC round was developed to address the well known terminal performance problems of the 5.56mm M855 62gr Green Tip ammunition and its failure to rapidly incapacitate opponents in a timely and decisive manner. 6.8 SPC was designed and developed by warfighters for warfighters. The round was designed to give much better terminal performance than the 5.56mm round, without the increased recoil and the much larger weapon platform of the 7.62 x 51mm round. The 6.8 SPC has superior terminal ballistics out to 600 meters and yet can be easily adapted to the AR style platform. Thus, the 6.8 SPC combines the best feature of both the 7.62 x 51mm and the 5.56 rounds without either of their deficits. We at LWRCI were ahead of the curve when we realized the incredible advantage the 6.8 SPC round gave the modern warfighter, LE Officer or serious sportsman. Couple this modern, effective and efficient round with the LWRCI short-stroke gas-piston design and you have a match made in Heaven. www.lwrci.com 9 40299.indd 11 12/29/08 5:08:44 PM
