LWRC SABR (Sniper Assaulter Battle Rifle) is a 7.62x51mm semi-automatic rifle manufactured by LWRC International. The gun is considered a sniper rifle and it preceded the LWRC REPR.

Design details

The gun features the LWRC designed short-stroke gas-piston operating system. It has removable Picatinny rails and it could accommodate the installation of several other uppers with different barrel lengths, including 12.7", 16.1", 18" and 20".[2]

Operation

There is a side charging handle so that the user does not have to take their eyes off of the target.[2] The rifle was the first sniper rifle that was produced by LWRCI. It was replaced by the LWRC REPR. The SABR was heavier than the REPR.[3]

The gun is one of the many that is banned in Canada.[4]
