In part 2 of Garand Thumb's Urban Combat Survival CQB and Room Clearing together with the Orion Training Group, the video features the new LWRC X OTG Limited Edition Collaboration IC-A5 5.56 Rifle as shown in the photo above. As this is a limited release interested shooters will have to immediately place their preorders when the window for preorders opens later today.

With a Bazooka Green Cerakote finish, the LWRC/OTG IC-A5 has a 2 Position Adjustable Gas Block, patented short-stroke adjustable gas-piston system, and a 16-inch cold hammer forged spiral fluted barrel. Other features are an ambidextrous Lower receiver, black rail panels, Magpul CTR Stock, Magpul K2+ Pistol Grip, and offset Picatinny mount.

This is not the first in the collaborative firearms project between LWRC and OTG. Previously, they also released LWRC X OTG 12.7″ IC-A5 Willmod Peanut Butter 5.56 Pistol which is also featured in the same Garand Thumb Urban Combat Survival CQB and Room Clearing episode.

There was a series of LWRC airsoft rifles available that were licensed to Classic Army before, but these have been discontinued and perhaps the licensed was also revoked. There is an LWRC SMG 45 Pistol-style AEG made by the Double Eagle, the Double Eagle M917G UTR45 AEG with the Falcon EFCS which is not a licensed one and does not the LWRC markings.

Preorders for this rifle will become available at Louisiana Firearms today, August 24th at 1300H Central Standard Time. Price is US$2,880.00.

More details about the rifle below:

Directly descended from the rifles developed by LWRC to meet the requirements for the U.S. Army Individual Carbine program, the IC-A5 is built for high performance.

The IC-A5 is the latest model in the IC – Individual Carbine series. Customers called for an adjustable gas block and the longer 12” SPR style rail system on the same rifle. LWRC listened- the IC-A5 is designed with a low profile 2 position adjustable gas block allowing the shooter to compensate for running a suppressor with the added benefit of the longer modular rail system.

The upper rail section on the IC-A5 is an aesthetically pleasing special cutback version which allows us to use the low profile gas block and at the same time keep the full 12” modular rails available on the sides and bottom of the hand guards. This IC-A5 brings together features of both the IC Enhanced and the IC-SPR in one package.

Like all IC models the IC-A5 is constructed using the highest quality materials, built on LWRC's patented self-regulating short-stroke gas piston system, machined from materials that belong to the super alloy family of steel alloys most often used in aerospace, LWRC raises the bar on reliability and ease of maintenance- delivering the highest level of performance. The gas-piston system can be accessed quickly by loosening two thumb screws.

Dual Control fully ambidextrous lower receiver includes bolt catch and release, magazine release and fire control access from both sides of the IC-A5.  LWRC Enhanced Fire Control Group comes standard.  Our investment castings are x-rayed for imperfections and nickel-boron coated for a smooth crisp trigger pull with positive reset.

The LWRC IC-A5 uses manufactured- NiCorr treated cold Hammer Forged spiral fluted barrel that is 20% lighter than unfluted barrels of the same diameter.  The increased surface area reduces heat – speeds up cooling.  Nickel-boron coated bolt carrier delivers unparalleled wear resistance, corrosion resistance and permanent lubricity.

The LWRC IC-A5 comes complete with, LWRC Skirmish Back Up Iron Sights, Ambidextrous Charging Handle, LWRC Adjustable Compact Stock, Magpul MOE+ Grip and A2 Birdcage flash hider.

IC-A5- the Individual Carbine – impressively improved- showing that, at times, evolution can be accelerated.
