Established as a first choice for end-users demanding exceptional performance when failure is not an option. All LMT weapon systems are tuned and built to withstand the harshest conditions around the globe. With a variety of caliber and length options to …

Over the past years many companies have popped up and started making AR style rifles but none has met the standards and quality of the LMT Defense line up of rifles. These rifles provide match grade accuracy the same as any bolt action long range rifle but in small semi-auto rifle form. Their striving to put the best rifle out there has allowed me to personally set records with their rifles by shooting off the tripod with a hog saddle to an IPSC target at 2260 yards for multiple hits. The same rifle allowed me to get a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th round hit at over a mile when the rifle was still brand new. My 12 year old son would then go on to make a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round hit at 1200 meters off the same tripod. –a record for a 12 year old.

LMT continues to serve the US military, law enforcement and government agencies, and has expanded to include foreign military services as well as commercial retailers. LMTs engineers design and fabricate complete weapon systems, grenade launchers, and Monolithic Rail Platform (MRP®) systems specifically for the demanding environments that the military and law enforcement face on a day-to-day basis whether in urban environments or in desert combat situations. LMT produces a full line of accessories and components for the commercial market complementing any M16 or AR15 type weapon.

In response to the growing demand for quick-change barrel systems Karl Lewis, President of LMT designed the Monolithic Rail Platform. The MRP upper receiver is a one-piece lightweight upper receiver with an integral forend. Mi-Std 1913 rails run from front to the forend on each of the four sides. The MRP receiver comes in two different lengths, one traditional rifle and the other for Close Quarter Battle (CQB). With four rails, the MRP® system offers plenty of places for accessories such as optics and lights

Lewis Machine & Tool Company recently qualified as a 2005 GSA supplier. As a US Government Services Administration (GSA) qualified vendor, LMT® products are available to over 300,000 Federal users worldwide.

The Defender series of rifles come equipped with LMT’s robust Monolithic Rail Platform, MRP™ upper receivers, paired with a standard mil-spec lower. Ideal for end-user who want to take full advantage of the MRP system, without without the need for ambidextrous controls. Each LMT rifle is manufactured with an emphasis on tolerance and fitment. Built to withstand the abuse of combat because failure is NOT an option!
