Lithgow Arms EF88

The EF88 is an evolution of the F88 assault rifle that was licensed copy of the Austrian Steyr AUG rifle but improved by Australians into EF88 (Enhanced F88 Austeyr) to suit needs of their army. EF88 is manufactured in Lithgow arms factory, today operated by Thales Australia. The EF88 is a bullpup-configuration selective fire weapon, chambered for the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge, short-stroke piston operated and firing from a closed bolt. New upgrades are: f gravity rearward, closer to the pistol grip. Improved buttstock design and cheek weld. Reshaped trigger guard to incorporate GLA integration. Enhanced and expanded STANAG 4694 (NATO) rails. Modified receiver to reduce mass, and shift centre of gravity rearward. Reduced barrel mass with fluting. Addition of a bolt catch release. Modified gas plug so that adjustments can be made with a spent 5.56 case. Cocking handle now folds into recess as desired. Extended ejection port by 4mm, and improved port covers. Modified hammer to prevent rifle stoppages on GLA firing. Refined buttplate. Ensured interoperability with a range of 5.56×45 ammunition.
