The Individual Carbine ENHANCED (IC-ENHANCED) hails directly from the rifles LWRCI developed for the U.S. Army’s Individual Carbine Program. The requirements for this program called for a weapon that was accurate, reliable, fully ambidextrous, and would accept 1913 picatinny rail accessories. The IC-ENHANCED meets all of these requirements and more, delivering high-performance AR-platform to the discerning shooter. In terms of accuracy, the IC-ENHANCED is outfitted with a NiCorr treated, cold-hammer forged barrel with a 1:7 twist rate to stabilize a wide array of different bullet types. A unique feature of the barrel is its spiral fluting, not only does this give the rifle a distinct appearance, but also reduces the weight by 20% (when compared to barrels of the same diameter) and increases the surface area to speed up cooling after multiple shots. Like all of LWRCI’s premium rifles, the IC-ENHANCED is exceptionally reliable. This can be attributed to the patented LWRCI short-stroke gas piston system, a system renowned for its dependability and ease of maintenance. The IC-ENHANCED also comes standard with a nickel-boron coated bolt carrier for unmatched resistance to wear and corrosion while also providing permanent lubricity. To enhance the reliability even further, the rifle is equipped with the LWRCI Enhanced Fire Control Group, which utilizes nickel-Teflon coated components for a smooth, crisp trigger pull with a positive reset. In addition to its accuracy and reliability, the IC-ENHANCED offers a variety of user friendly controls. The safety selector, charging handle, bolt release, and magazine release are all ambidextrous for comfortable shooting with either hand, and an enlarged trigger guard allows for shooting with gloves. Another intuitive aspect of the IC-ENHANCED is its low profile 2-position adjustable gas block, allowing the rifle to be finely tuned for use with a suppressor. In addition, the IC-ENHANCED features a 12 o’clock picatinny rail with plenty of space for optics, iron sights, and clip-on night vision/thermal devices.
