Z-M Weapons LR-300-ML assault rifle, early (circa 2001) version
Z-M Weapons LR-300-SR semi-automatic rifle, late production version (circa 2006)
The LR 300 is a modification of the Colt AR-15 designed by Allan Zitta of Z-M Weapons. The LR 300 utilizes a system known as the Direct-Impingement Gas System (or DIGS), which extends the gas key and places the gas venting system inside the handguard. This negates the need for a buffer system at the rear and allows a folding stock to be fitted. Description: z m weapons (para ordnance) lr-300 rifle in 5.56 cal.has a modified gas system using ar-15 type action,featuring pivoting skeletal metal stock,16.25' barrel,flat top receiver,matte finish,aluminum handguard, 7.2 lbs. The LR-300 is a one of the versions of the M4 carbine intended for special operations. It is developed by Z-M Weapons. The designation LR-300 is translated as a Light Rifle with a range of effective fire in 300 meters. It is a state-of-the art compact modular rifle, based on the famous M16 design. The LR-300 rifle was manufactured by the small US-based company Z-M Weapons between 2000 and 2007, when all rights for the design were sold to the Para USA, the US-based subsidiary of the Canadian pistol maker Para-Ordnance Ltd. The reworked LR-300 rifle will be sold in USA as Para Tactical Target Rifle, with first sales sheduled to 'early 2009'. Was going to hold back releasing this because i hit a wall with the cso2 weapons i had, i couldnt flip them from the left hand to the right and i now refuse to use scripts to do so otherwise because people cant read descriptions, so, here you go an LR-300 on cele's honeybadger anims.

Original LR-300 (LR stands for Long Range) rifles were designed by Alan Zitta as an upgrade to the well known and popular M16 / AR-15 rifle. In fact, LR-300 and Para TTR both use standard AR-15-type lower receivers; only upper receivers are different and contain patented modified gas system. The key reason for tha modification was to prowide AR-15-type weapon with capability to mount side-folding stock rather than partially collapsible M4 carbine-type stock. Nothing (erkberg) mac os. Z-M Weapons intended its rifles mostly for military and law enforcement personnel, by offering LR-300-ML weapons with short barrels and select-fire capability. Civilian (semi-automatic only) versions also were offered to general public, but at prices well above the average price of AR-15-type rifle. It is not known yet if the new Para Tactical Target Rifles will also be offfered in military (select-fire) version or not; current Para USA advertising suggests that only semi-automatic weapons (and upper receiver conversion kits) will be offred, at least initially.

The LR-300 rifle is gas operated, and utilizes modified Stoner-type direc gas imingement system. In this modified system, the gas key is extended forward to form the tube, that protrudes forward from the receiver and into the handguard. The protruding part of the gas key tube is used to host the bolt return spring, which is placed between the front receiver wall and the collar at the front of the gas key tube. The gas tube, which runs rearward from the gas block / front sight base, is strengthened as its rear end floats freely to enter the extended gas key tube when bolt group is in the battery. That way, at least some of the hot gases from inside the gas karrier are expelled outside the receiver and into the inner handguard area, through the extended gas key tube, once it has left the gas tube during the bolt group recoil movement. Additional benefit of this system is that it allows the bolt carrier to be made twice as short compared to the standard AR-15-type bolt carrier. In turn, this results in the fact that there’s no need for the recoil buffer tube, which is normally protruding backward from the AR-15-type lower receiver. Because of this feature, most LR-300 rifles are fitted with side-folding shoulder stocks, either sceletonized non-adjustableones made from metal or polymer ones, adjustable for length of pull. Otherwise the LR-300 is similar to the AR-15-type weapons and has similar trigger / safety arrangements, magazine housing and bolt stop device.
