LMT’s 13.5” .308 Shovelnose Is Finally Here | SHOT Show 2026

At SHOT Show 2026, LMT debuts the long-rumored 13.5 inch .308 MRP Shovelnose, bringing the compact Shovelnose concept to the large-frame platform. This configuration is clearly built around suppression, durability, and hard-use duty roles, combining LMT’s monolithic MRP upper with a short, aggressive .308 barrel length that changes how compact a serious battle rifle can be.
