The Leader T2 MK5 Series weapons were chambered for the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge and manufactured by Leader Dynamics of Smithfield, NSW Australia (1978-1982/1983). The Leader was the brainchild of weapons designer Charles St. George. It was originally a contender for a 5.56x45mm Australian military service rifle to replace the then-issued L1A1 rifles. What was unique about this endeavor was that Australia had never designed or manufactured its own commercial gas operated semi-automatic rifle. The rifle was abandoned when the Steyr AUG was adopted for use by the Australian military.
