This video introduces the LMT Compressor Rifle, a PDW-style weapon featuring a significantly shortened stock. The modification involves reducing the extension tube and stock length by 2.75 inches, achieved by shortening the milspec extension tube and LMT sod stock, modifying the buffer and spring, and introducing a drop-in weight for the bolt carrier group. This allows for a more compact weapon while retaining a longer barrel for improved velocity and accuracy. The kit is backwards compatible with existing milspec AR platforms.

Quick Summary

The LMT Compressor Rifle is a compact PDW-style weapon featuring a modified stock that removes 2.75 inches from the extension tube and stock for discrete carry. This design allows for a longer barrel, enhancing velocity and accuracy. The modification kit is backwards compatible with milspec AR platforms.
