LMT Defender

DETAILS
Overview
LMT® has developed numerous innovations over the last 35+ years and, as a result, long-time customers have seen models come and go from our arsenal. Veterans of our products will remember the Defender 2000. Released in 2000, this model was the first in the MRP® family and the progenitor of the many customization options you see in our products today. Historically, LMT® Defender products have held a high price point due to the quality and attention to detail given every rifle. Members of our team have worked to provide an entry-level rifle for customers new to the LMT® family.

LMT® built this rifle with its patented Monolithic Rail Platform, the only true monolithic rail platform, milled from a single high-grade aluminum forging. Two locking bolts on the side of the receiver lock the barrel extension in place. MRP® technology engages the barrel extension for a full 360 degrees and allows the barrel to be removed in seconds while minimizing point of impact shift. One receiver can support numerous barrels of varying length, material, and caliber.

L7MJ1B

12.5″ Chrome Lined 5.56×45 (.223) 1:7″ RH twist barrel

This barrel was specifically designed to compliment the L7Z1A “Spec War” upper receiver. The short dwell time of the gas system creates an optimal recoil impulse and gas pressure for both suppressed and non-suppressed shooting while maintaining expected reliability.

Designed for the LMT monolithic receiver, this barrel utilizes a low profile gas block, mid length straight gas tube, and A2 birdcage for reduced flash. The barrel is coated and cryogenically treated for long term durability.

 

LMT MLC Top End

LMT MLC Top End

The patented LMT Monolithic Rail Platform (MRP) upper receiver is the only AR-15 upper that incorporates the handguard and receiver as one component. This state-of-the-art design is CNC machined from a single piece of forged aerospace aluminum resulting in benefits and functionality unmatched in the industry. Integrating this upper receiver with an MRP barrel creates an incredibly simplistic modular platform in which the barrel is held in place with a proprietary locking system utilizing two locking bolts on the right side of the receiver. Barrel swaps and caliber changes are easily completed in a few minutes with only a T-30 Torx bit and torque wrench (a factory pre-set torque wrench is available).  Additionally, since the handguard is integral to the receiver you will not experience shifts in point of impact while using aiming devices that are attached directly to the handguard. Nor will you need to purchase expensive cantilever optic mounts. This receiver utilizes the patented LMT MRP barrels and like the other carbine length MRP receivers, is designed for use with either their piston barrels or direct impingement barrels in lengths from 10.5″ to 18″.
LMT’s MLC (M-LOK Carbine length) top end comes with the following:
  • MLC upper receiver
  • 16″ chrome lined 5.56mm barrel
  • Semi Auto BCG
  • Ambi charging handle

MRP-L MLOK 11.5 SPECWAR

L7Z1A SPECWAR

Built with operational performance in mind, the new LMT SpecWar upper was designed in partnership with some of Americas most specialized warfighters. This upper was built to utilize the new 12.5″ MRP barrel as well as other 12″ or greater barrels. We removed the built in forward QD swivels and extended the length over the traditional CQB length to improve ergonomics and accessory real estate. What this does is give the user a better fighting edge and increased lethality.

Among keeping the classic barrel swap capability, the SpecWar focuses on the need to maintain a rigid platform for mounted laser aiming and illumination devices, crucial for night operations. Additionally, this upper receiver features MLOK pattern rail mounting platform and a continuous picatinny top rail. For those who require use of a QD sling, a single point is available in the aft portion of the receiver.
