TNW Firearm’s new Aero Survival Rifle LTE weighs less than 4 lbs and takes down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We’ve seen TNW’s Aero Survival Rifle<\/a> in a few different iterations over the last few years. But the LTE is a significant change from its beefier big brother. The LTE weighs in under 4 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Like the originals, the LTE’s barrel completely detaches for easy carry in a backpack, or probably the console of your truck. TNW uses a patented design to lock the barrel back in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a long distance between where the barrel meets the chamber (with a keyed connection) and where the barrel nut locks onto the receiver which reduces any room for wiggle. Coupled with their cone-shaped coupler, they say this gun holds zero with an optic.<\/p>\n\n\n

The ejection port can be set to either side of the gun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The direct blowback action has a reciprocating charging handle that can be mounted for right- or left-handed operation. The safety can also be set to either side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most interestingly, the ejection port can also be set to eject from either side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LTE takes Glock mags and AR grips and stocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ports on both sides, the vented top Picatinny rail, the m-Lok slots (at 3, 6, 9), and the pencil-profile (threaded) barrel all make this gun a lot lighter than the originals. Oh, and it takes Glock mags.<\/p>\n\n\n

The LTE has a FAL-style trigger with just three parts that also weighs in at about 4 lbs. The steel parts are parkerized, while the aluminum receivers are hard anodized. It comes with a Mission First Tactical stock and Kriss grip but is compatible with any AR stock and grips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TNW’s new Aero Survival Rifle LTE<\/a> will be available this summer for $899. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
