Shown here next to a 12-inch 7.62 NATO CSASS SBR. The SMG employs a folding stock with an adjustable buttplate.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>The SMG uses a proprietary upper that houses the recoil system which allows the SMG to employ a folding stock. The ejection port clears the stock and the rifle can be fired with the stock folded.\u00a0Thanks to the in-house design all of the controls are ambidextrous or reversible, including an ambidextrous safety selector, magazine catch and bolt catch. The forward charging handle is reversible for left-and right-handed users.<\/p>\n<p>The SMG has\u00a0a monolithic, modular handguard that lets\u00a0users mount optics as far forward on the rail without having to worry about any shift in zero. It&#8217;s a tall flattop rail and accessories like red dot sights can be mounted directly to the SMG without risers.\u00a0The handguard sports new grip panels, available for other LWRCI guns, to provide a better grip surface other than rails.<\/p>\n<p>LWRCI expects to have them on the market by July of this summer with a price to be determined in the $2,200 range.<\/p>\n<h2>LWRC CSASS<\/h2>\n<p>Another new product in the works for 2016 is the LWRC CSASS. Designed to meet and exceed military standards, the CSASS is designed around outlines detailed by the Army&#8217;s\u00a0Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System requirements. The CSASS is a light carbine optimized for today&#8217;s hunters and target shooters and of course, military and law enforcement snipers.<\/p>\n<p>The LWRC CSASS is an AR-pattern rifle chambered for 7.62 NATO\/.308 Winchester with a sub-MOA guarantee using quality ammunition. It has an impressive 20-position gas piston system that not only can restrict gas flow to deal\u00a0with suppressor backpressure, it can be fine-tuned for\u00a0specific loads to maximize accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_52904\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-02.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"lwrc-smg-csass-and-entry-level-di-shot-show-2016\" title=\"LWRC SMG, CSASS and Entry-Level DI \u2014 SHOT Show 2016\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52904\" title=\"LWRC SMG, CSASS and Entry-Level DI \u2014 SHOT Show 2016\" class=\"wp-image-52904 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-02.jpg\" alt=\"LWRC 02\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-02.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-02-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-02-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-52904\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fully-ambidextrous controls on the CSASS.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half]<\/p>\n<p>[one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_52903\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"lwrc-smg-csass-and-entry-level-di-shot-show-2016\" title=\"LWRC SMG, CSASS and Entry-Level DI \u2014 SHOT Show 2016\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52903\" title=\"LWRC SMG, CSASS and Entry-Level DI \u2014 SHOT Show 2016\" class=\"wp-image-52903 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-01.jpg\" alt=\"LWRC 01\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-01.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-01-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LWRC-01-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-52903\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The handguard is modular and can be used to mount accessory rails for lights, grips and pointers.

The DI has a long, one-piece Monoforge free-floating handguard that mounts directly to the upper receiver. The handguard can&#8217;t rotate and can be used as a direct mount for optics, no cantilever mounts necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Other nice touches include spiral fluting along the 16.1-inch barrel, Magpul furniture, polymer grip panels, an angled foregrip and a grip stop. These accessories are modular and can be adjusted to the individual. It is also fully ambidextrous and uses a standard charging handle.<\/p>\n<p>These rifles are available now with an MSRP of $1,599, about $700 less than their IC series. The guns are also lighter at 6.6 pounds compared to LWRCI&#8217;s\u00a0piston-driven models which weigh upwards of 7 pounds or more, depending on the configuration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We take a look at the new LWRC SMG, a pistol-caliber carbine built around UMP mags, the new LWRC CSASS compact 7.62\/.308 and
