Also known as: REPR 15, REPR-15 5.56
Overview
The LWRC REPR-15 is a precision-oriented semi-automatic AR-15 chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. It applies the design language of LWRC's larger-caliber REPR (Rapid Engagement Precision Rifle) platform - most notably the monoforged upper receiver with an integral full-length Picatinny rail and side-charging handle - to a smaller, lighter 5.56 chassis. The REPR-15 is intended as a duty-grade marksman carbine bridging the gap between LWRC's standard IC carbines and the full-power REPR MKII.

Notes
Civilian-market rifle, semi-automatic only. The monoforge upper eliminates the upper/handguard junction for improved zero retention and rigidity. Specifications vary across barrel-length configurations (typically 14.7", 16", and 18").
Background
LWRC built its reputation on piston-driven AR carbines for hard-use duty. The REPR-15 is the company's answer to shooters who wanted REPR-grade precision and the iconic monoforge upper but in standard 5.56 NATO instead of 7.62 or 6.5 Creedmoor.
