LWRC’s IC-PDW (Individual Carbine Personal Defense Weapon) is the gun maker’s most compact rifle, and also one of the smallest piston rifles on the market. Its most unique feature lies in the buttstock, which contains a quick-deploy, two-position telescoping stock that collapses flush to the buffer tube. Standard on the carbine is an 8.5” NiCorr-treated barrel, and the same ambidextrous lower controls as the other IC family members. For more, watch the video above, or visit LWRCI.com. undefined
