The LR-308 uses a direct impingement action and standard AR-pattern controls marked SAFE/FIRE, with a manual safety and a standard magazine release. It is chambered in .308 Win and accepts SR-25 pattern magazines, offering a 20+1 capacity.
The 16 inch barrel is threaded and capped with an open-ended multi-slot flash suppressor. A 1:10 twist supports a wide range of .308 projectiles. The flat-top upper is slick-side, with no forward assist or case deflector, and includes an ejection-port dust cover.
Sighting is handled by a pinned A2 front sight base with a fixed sling swivel and a detachable A2 carry handle rear sight. Furniture includes a round polymer rifle-length handguard with longitudinal flutes, an A2-style pistol grip, and a collapsible 6-position stock with a 13.5 inch length of pull.
This pre-2014 St. Cloud, MN-marked example was made in the USA and retains the LR-308 features enthusiasts look for, including rail-ready flat-top configuration and broad SR-25 magazine compatibility.
