LMT Defense New Zealand 5.56 Reference Rifle

The LMT Defense New Zealand 5.56 Reference Rifle is based on the rifle platform developed by LMT Defense for the New Zealand Defence Force. It combines exceptional reliability, modern ergonomics, and the proven Monolithic Rail Platform with fully ambidextrous controls for professional use.

Proven Military Platform

Designed to meet demanding military requirements, the platform delivers durability, reliability, and precision. Its construction is optimized for operation in a wide range of environmental conditions.

Monolithic Rail Platform

The one-piece MRP upper receiver provides an exceptionally rigid interface between the barrel and receiver. A continuous Picatinny rail offers a repeatable mounting platform for optics, night vision devices, and thermal systems.

MARS Controls

The Modular Ambidextrous Rifle System enables full operation from either side of the rifle. The safety selector, magazine release, and bolt catch are equally accessible to right- and left-handed shooters.
