This week we’ve introduced a new complete KP-15 rifle, to help us get to the financial finish line in this litigation.
The Community Defense Rifle is built around the KP-15 mil-spec lower with a lightweight 5.56mm barreled upper using our lightweight aluminum free float rail systems and high-quality Young Manufacturing black nitride bolt carrier group. The basic rifle weighs in at 5.4 pounds as configured and has a starting MSRP of $799.95.
Multiple customization options are available from a drop-down menu.
Each of these rifles will also ship with our Defend 2A KP-15 patch.

As Karl Kasarda of InRangeTV covers in the below short video on the CDR, The Community Defense Rifle is a cost-reduced version of the Civil Defense Rifle which was in and of itself a cost-reduced version of the WWSD Carbine.
