Under the CrossOver banner, Lithgow Arms has produced a rimfire rifle that can be used in a sport shooting match one day and then carried into the field the next. The LA101 features a level of fit and finish that is rarely found in small calibres, a level of quality imparted by using the very same materials, machinery and processes that manufacture our military products, winning the LA101 accolades around the world. Each military-grade steel barrel is cold-forged and manufactured on the same machine at Lithgow that makes barrels for the ADF’s Austeyr rifles ensuring their outstanding accuracy. The stock includes a butt hook for improved prone hold and is made from Walnut. Local production also ensures spare parts are easily available. Lithgow Arms is a brand built on 100 years of weapons expertise at the small arms factory at Lithgow, NSW.

A CENTURY OF EXPERTISE

Originally conceived as a factory to make and support weapons created elsewhere, over recent years Lithgow has evolved into a true small arms designer and manufacturer. The Lithgow Arms team includes local experts plus people with international experience from some of the world’s most renowned arms manufacturers, as well as former military personnel. All this means the team now designs new Australian weapons for military and civilian markets – along with the LA101 CrossOver, the innovative EF88 rifle is being developed for the Australian Defence Force, while the export F90 version has captured attention around the world.
