The bolt carrier itself is cut extremely short. The gas key on the bolt carrier, however, is extremely long, and is what the recoil spring anchors to. The gas tube for the LR 300 is rather short, you can see it terminating just above the vertical grip in this picture. Once the carrier and handle are removed, I can take the spring out, and you can see how this all fits together. If I pull the spring down with my fingers, I can remove the spring retainer and release the spring, at which point I can pull the bolt carrier and charging handle out. If I slightly pull back the charging handle you can see the spring compress. If you push in this tab holding in the heat shield, it will reveal the recoil system. The back of the stock is simply closed off completely. It also leaves a large protrusion out the back.
When folded, you still have part of the buffer tube and it can cycle, albeit with more recoil. More recently, Dead Foot Arms came out with a folding stock that basically just cuts the buffer tube in half. The first, when folded, blocks the buffer tube so the bolt cannot cycle. Now, there are folding stocks for ARs on the market today. I believe the rights are currently owned by Yankee Hill Machine, but I also heard that Zitta got them back himself. ZM Weapons sold the patents a few years later to Para Ordnance, who immediately set about ruining the signature design of the LR-300 by redesigning the foreend with full-length rails.Ī few years after that, with minimal sales due to a hugely inflated pricetag, PARA USA exited the rifle market. There was also a ban version and a 16" barrel version. This particular model is an SBR with an 11.5" barrel and is mostly what held me up from shooting this in the past. There were a few other variations of the rifle - a gray plastic handguard instead of the iconic olive nylatron guard, as well as a model with a tubular folding stock. At the time, due to the '94 AWB, the AR15 market wasn't nearly as large as it is now, and sales were low.
The original design was marketed for LEO use, and to my knowledge, all the original hosts were select-fire. The ZM LR-300 was a rifle designed by Alan Zitta of ZM Weapons, a former competitor in what was 3 gun before 3 gun even existed, in the mid 90s. This inspired a decade-long hunt for the mysterious rifle that shows up very, very rarely in video games and TV shows, such as Firefly, or in ArmA 3 as the buttstock on the MX SW. At the time I didn't know anything about guns, but I was intrigued by a strange rifle called the TRs 301. It's not often that someone is able to truly say they've acquired their #1 Grail Gun.īack in the late 2000s I played a little game called Stalker: Shadow of Cernobyl.
