LMT Defense Announces Compressor PDW Family
MILAN, ILLINOIS – January 18, 2016 – (ArmsVault.com) – LMT Defense is excited to announce they are releasing the Compressor™ personal defense weapon, a nimble AR-platform that is easily concealed but fully capable. Responding to an international military customer request, LMT Defense set out to create a versatile rifle-caliber weapon capable of being small while packing a powerful punch. What resulted is the smallest AR profile in the industry paired with the most reliable upper receiver configuration possible – the LMT Defense monolithic upper receiver and 10.5” barrel, which has already proven itself in 35 countries around the world. The Compressor can first been seen at the 2016 NSSF SHOT Show in booth #20249 and is expected to start shipping at the end of the first quarter of 2016.
The Compressor features a 10.5” barrel, chambered in either 5.56 or .300 Blackout, along with a modified SOPMOD stock, extension tube, redesigned buffer and buffer spring, along with a drop-in weight for the bolt carrier that delivers a fully operational weapon, suppressed or unsuppressed without operator changes, at an overall length of 24.5”. This small profile is ideal for law enforcement agencies in need of increased maneuverability or for VIP protection to engage at distances proven unreliable with a pistol.
LMT Defense is also releasing a PDW Conversion Kit, replacing five key components that make it backward compatible with any Mil-Spec M4/AR on the market: modified SOPMOD stock, shortened extension tube, re-designed buffer and buffer spring, and a drop-in weight for the bolt carrier. This will reduce the length of any standard AR weapon by 2.75” overall and works reliably for 5.56 and .300 Blackout, either suppressed or unsuppressed, without operator changes.
The LM8PDW556 will retail for $2,691.02. The PDW-KIT will retail for $455.00.
