In addition to the 6.8×51 prototypes we showcased the other day, Thales Australia the manufacturer of the currently issued EF88 are displaying a couple of other rifles under the Lithgow Arms mark. Lithgow Small Arms Factory has provided Australian built weapons to the ADF for over a century.
First is the F90 PDW variant with suppressor under the handguard.
Next up is a Stoner pattern carbine in 5.56mm and .300 BLK designed in the event the ADF decides at some point to adopt this type of rifle, or alternatively for export.
Here is a look at Serial Number 001.
Hk 416 A5 lowers, so hot right now. Same as the new Glock Carbine that was submitted for the British Ranger Regiment? The BCM Handguard seems like a good choice though.
The F90 seems interesting, still waiting to see any ballistic information on the 6.8×51 against armor and accuracy at distance though.
A supressor UNDER the handguard? Where? I see nothing
