Note: The Manufacturer selcted for this listing is "Unbranded AR" due to this weapon being so rare the actual manufacturer isn't an option on the list.  

The Leader Dynamics T2 MK5 Series weapons were 5.56mm NATO firearms created by Australian Designer Charles St. George and manufactured by Leader Dynamics of Smithfield, NSW, Australia between 1978-1983. This was Australia's first entry into the domestic design and sale of a select fire/semi auto carbine/pistol/SMG for both Military and Civilian sales in Australia and abroad. Not many were imported into the U.S. and thus are one of the rarest 'assault rifle/pistol' firearms in private hands.

Originally imported into the U.S. by Ed Hoffman and Tim Painter of World Public Safety, California. The Leader was exhibited at the New Orleans Shot Show and orders in excess of $3,000,000 were written. The original buyers/distributors were John Giovino NY, Bumble Bee CA and Ellett Brothers. These weapons are quite rare in the US as very few (fewer than 2000 rifles) made it into the country.
