The LC Carbine features an aluminum free-float handguard with M-LOK attachment slots, QD attachment points for slings, and a full-length Picatinny rail for AR-height optics.

The folding stock is reversible, with an adjustable length of pull, and can easily be replaced with AR-pattern stocks. The rear of the receiver has a Picatinny rail for maximum accessory compatibility.

The LC Carbine can be easily disassembled without tools, allowing for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
