Z-M LR 300 SR-N - 5.56x45mm

Z-M LR 300ML-A with side-folding stock - 5.56x45mm

Z-M LR 300ML (5.56x45mm) with M203 grenade launcher (40mm)

The LR 300 is a modification of the Colt AR-15 designed by Allan Zitta of Z-M Weapons. Called the Direct-Impingement Gas System (or DIGS), it extends the gas key and places the gas venting system inside the handguard. This negates the need for a buffer system at the rear and allows a folding stock to be fitted. The weapon was originally made by Z-M Weapons (LR-300) from 2000 to 2007 and Para Ordnance (Tactical Target Rifle) from 2009 to 2011.
