LR-300 thread

Sort of, it was very ahead of its time but by modern standards it kind of sucks. ARs with folding stocks are by no means a gimmick, since the lack of folding stock is the weakest element of the AR design, but nobody was going to pay what they were charging and by the time ARs were popular, the LR300 was dead and there were other alternatives.

Sounds good to me. The design is still interesting though. Looks like DI in its form now and the AR design are here to stay for a while.

I really want a God damn folding stock on my AR. Fuck

I'd suck all of the dick for an LR-300 in this exact configuration.

I just want someone to sell a folding stock and short bolt kit so I can put it on any gun I want

Is that stock available separately, because I have a law folder.

Who cares
Can't fire it folded

>>31062895
would be better just using a carrying handle rear iron sight

>>31061923
It was def severely under appreciated, and the folding stock seems lile the only thing anyone knows about it. The recoil system is almost the same thing used in Steyr's AUG, just one piston instead of two. Whoever jumps on it when the patent expires is gonna make bank

>>31066514
para bought it relaunched it ran it into the ground and i think the original guy got it back

>>31066649
And except for the one, maybe two pro 3-gun competitors and a smattering of aficionados, who even bought one?

>>31061923
I really don't like it's lengthened gas key

>>31066804
The DEA, supposedly, though whether they actually used them remains to be seen.

>>31062895
I would love to cosplay as Strelok with that lel.

why so? implications of carrier tilt?

Why the fuck does everyone mount the sights like that?

I've heard it's so you get a proper picture when firing it with the stock folded, but who really cares? I'd rather have a better sight radius when I'm firing it the way it's meant to be fired.

>>31070795
for faster sight acquisition, It's designed for CQB

>Weakest element

The fuck?

Having the barrel, bolt, and buffer in a straight line is one of the AR type rifle's STRONGEST features boy.

>>31072248
Any action can have the stock in line with the action, an AR action is the only one that that cannot have a folding stock. This is a clear weakness that the LR300 addressed.

>>31061923
Alan Zitta is a hack and the LR-300 was a failure.

After he failed to secure any sort of military contracts or even runs for Special Forces due to unreliability of his weapon system he liquidated his company and whored out his patent to Para in a desperate bid for cashflow to start up a new non gun related company.

Para tried hard to sell the design but it also flopped in their hands due to higher than normal price and reliability/parts breakage issues.

Alan Zitta moved away from the firearms industry after that.

this desu
The only reason people even know about it is because of a video game where every prototype weapon system gone bad in the world was sent to slavshit land.

If you want to salivate over real operator shit look up some old LaFrance/SIONICS. Designs made for real SF that actually worked.

>>31070739
is that yours? more photos please

>>31069006
That never happened. He never won a single .gov contract.

We could have it but there are some problems. If you had a shorter bolt you'd need a gas system where the pressure falls from high to low extremely fast. Having more volume in the gas tube or something could work. You wouldn't be able to use the forward assist and there would be compatibility problems with the millions of handguards out there
