Many of you know me here at LION ARMAMENT LLC from purchasing firearms, ammo, and doing transfers. I would like to announce the release of our first in-house spec type rifle assembled from parts I individually selected.

Key Features:
- Every part is made in the U.S.A. and there are no MIM parts.
- Grey Ghost Precision forged lower receiver (7075)
- Square marked, forged upper receiver (7075)
- 16" Rainier Arms Select 5.56 Barrel (1:7 twist, M4 feed ramps, nitirided, mid-length gas)
- 15" M-LOK Rail with anti-rotation tabs (6061 T6, Hard coat anodized per Mil-A 8625F Type III Class 2, ID is +/- 1.55).
- The bolt carrier is machined from 8620, ground before being nitrided.
- The bolt is machined from 9310, shot peened, nitrided, and MPI tested.
- The extractor is machined from a solid billet of 4140 and enhanced with a Viton o-ring.
- The firing pin is machined and chrome plated per the mil-spec.
- LaRue MBT-2S two-stage trigger.
- Magpul furniture.
- Nitrided take-down pin, pivot pin, and bolt catch detent for smooth, long-lasting operation.
- Breek Arms Warhammer ambi charging handle.
- Ambi mag release (machined from billet steel).
- BAD ambi selector
- Anti-rotation pins
- QD compatible end plate

I call this rifle "The 1 of 5" because it is just that. Our first rifle built according to an in house specification and limited to a run of just five units. To commemorate this, each lower can be engraved according to that which it is in the order at no additional charge..."2 of 5", "3 of 5" etc (they will not have the LION ARMAMENT info engraved on them like the picture). To further set the "first five" apart, they will feature the following combination of upgraded parts that the later version will not:
- Ergo Adjustable Gas Block
- Forward Controls Design Flash Hider
- Forward Controls Design Reinforced Buffer Retainer
- Bad Billet Enhanced Bolt Catch

$1089 + tax for AZS members. ($1150 MSRP).

The pictured "1 of 5" rifle is not the one you will receive, but is representative of what you will. "#2" has been torqued, tested, and is ready to go. My current build time on 3 through 5 is 2 - 3 weeks from the order date.

If you'd like us to build something for you, don't hesitate to reach out. There are more to come...

LION ARMAMENT LLC is a home-based FFL located near 75th Ave and Thunderbird. 4473 required. No returns or exchanges on firearms. Add 3% for card purchases. I have another full time job, so do require some flexibility in scheduling.

Thanks! My goal with the rifle was to make a "jack of all trades, master of none" at a competitive price point while keeping quality high. This is intended to be a rifle that is "already done."

If someone wants this without the extra cost of the upgraded components (but still all US made, non-mim) that can be done.

Looks solid to me...

Thanks. A few other things I do on these not yet mentioned include staking the castle nut, using Rocksett on the gas block, AeroShell on the upper, and checking headspace with Go/No-Go gauges prior to test firing.
