The Live Free Armory LF308 Battle Rifle is a .308 Winchester semi-automatic rifle built for shooters who demand a no-nonsense, optics-ready platform. Chambered in 7.62x51 NATO (.308 Winchester), this 18-inch rifle combines a lightweight aluminum frame with mid-length gas system ergonomics, making it equally at home on the range, in the field, or as a reliable centerfire rifle for serious marksmen. The LF308 strips away marketing fluff and delivers core rifle functionality: precision CNC-machined billet aluminum receiver, mil-spec fire control, and a free-floating M-LOK handguard that won't interfere with accuracy.
At 8.3 lbs, the LF308 strikes a practical balance between portability and shooting stability. The parkerized 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium Steel barrel with SOCOM profile and 1-in-10 twist rate handles a wide range of .308 Winchester ammunition without compromise. The low-profile, adjustable gas block (0.750 diameter) lets you tune the rifle's operation to your specific load, ammunition, or suppressor setup—a feature many factory rifles don't offer. An A2 flash hider is threaded 5/8x24, standard for modern .308 accessories.
The receiver itself is where precision lives: flat-top M4 profile with integrated feed ramps, CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum billet and finished in Cerakote for durability. The bolt carrier group uses 9310 steel with a staked gas key, the right way to build a rifle that lasts. A mil-spec safety, forward assist, and dust cover round out controls that feel familiar to anyone who's handled an AR-pattern rifle. The 6-position collapsible Rogers Super Stock and Thril Rugged Tactical Grip provide adjustability and secure handling, while the included 20-round magazine gives you a starting point. Note that Live Free Armory is transitioning some furniture components, so grip and stock may differ from older photos.
This is a rifle for the shooter who values transparency in engineering and doesn't pay for features he won't use. If you're building a long-range .308 platform, need a second-gun .308 Winchester for hunting, or want a battle rifle that doesn't compromise on materials or adjustability, the LF308 delivers.

Yes. The rifle ships with an optics-ready M4 flat-top receiver and Picatinny rail, so you can mount any standard Picatinny-compatible scope, red dot, or other optic. No iron sights are included; you'll need to add optics separately.
