Revolutionary Device Allows Swapping AR Barrel in Seconds

A technology developed by a retired Marine helicopter pilot is likely to be a game-changer for law enforcement and military personnel in the future. The LEO Takedown is a revolutionary innovation in the tactical rifle industry.  Designed to retrofit existing MILSPEC AR-15, M-4 and M-16 rifles, the LEO Takedown provides instant barrel removal, caliber swap and barrel length changes without tools, without fine motor skills.

Validated by active patrol officers, the LEO Takedown expands the AR-15s usefulness as a tool to better serve and protect the public, according to the company’s website.

The device was developed by Lance Maffett, a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps who flew Marine Cobra helicopters in Afghanistan.

According to northwestgeorgianews.com, the heart of the technology is the long-standing concern from law enforcement that they were frequently going into difficult situations where they were outgunned by the bad guys.

His technology is currently U.S. patent pending, but Maffett and his partners with LEO TakeDown have received significant interest from firearms industry leaders to integrate the technology with their products.
