    Also on display at Lantac’s booth was their new DMR rifle, built off of the AR-15 platform the Lantac DMR is chambered in 6.5 Grendel. It has an 18 inch barrel and a diamond polished bolt carrier. Lantac described the rifle as ‘limited edition’ with not many planned. It has a Proof Research barrel with a rifle+1 length gas system. Other barrel lengths are available and SBR and pistol configurations have been considered.

    Last up is Lantac’s new entry into the 3-gun market, a .223 Wylde chambered AR race gun. The LASF 3-Gun features ambi selectors and charging handle from Radian, a Luth-ar height and length adjustable stock and a diamond polished bolt.

    The guns use an 18 inch Ballistic Advantage barrel and have a fixed rifle-length gas system – instead they use Lantac’s adjustable buffer which also ensures that even if the buffer breaks the rifle will still run – an essential in competition.

    The rifle uses Lantac’s SPADA ML MLOK forend. MSRP on the LASF 3-Gun is expected to have an MSRP of around $2,000.
