A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft assigned to the 18th Aggressor Squadron takes off from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Oct. 6, 2014, during RED FLAG-Alaska 15-1. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. and partner nation forces, providing combined offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.

  • The new handguard has a smaller diameter than its bigger brother
  • A one piece fore end with a split top rail
  • The hinged butt stock is now removable
  • Separate indexed coarse and micro-fine adjustments for butt stock length and cheek pad height
  • Tool-free butt stock pad position adjustment
  • The 7075 aluminum chassis weighs 4.5 pounds

Remington reps tell me that the LW-RACS may hit the commercial market in some form in 2012.
