The Lewis Machine and Tool MARS-L 5.56 is a completely ambidextrous rifle, making it an excellent choice for civilian shooters and Law Enforcement departments alike. It features various patented LMT® technologies that greatly enhance the platform’s versatility, and ability to be customized to the individual shooter.
The MARS-L utilizes the only true Monolithic Rail Platform, known as the MRP™, which is milled from a solid piece of aerospace aluminum forging. Its patented technology engages a full 360 degrees around the barrel extension, allowing its fully chrome-lined 1:7” twist barrel to be removed in seconds and put back on with a return to zero of the same barrel. It can also be replaced with something different all together. Without changing the receiver, the shooter can swap between barrels of varying length, material, and even caliber.
The rifle’s upper receiver features 1913 picatinny rail across the top, with M-LOCK compatible attachment points on the remaining seven sides. Its lower receiver provides a truly ambidextrous experience with mirrored bolt catch, magazine catch, and safety selector switches.
Other features include:
- Low profile gas block and straight gas tube
- Ambidextrous charging handle
- Two stage trigger
- S-A bolt carrier group
