In spite of their previous contracts with states within the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], Renner and Llewyth, who had partnered in 1883 to improve their chances competing with growing state armaments industries, found little success pitching the LR Rifle to Fiannria, its intended market. Having proven the rifle but losing on the final stretch to bidding due to Renner's crippling gambling debts, the pair turned to Llewyth's native country of Faneria. | In spite of their previous contracts with states within the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], Renner and Llewyth, who had partnered in 1883 to improve their chances competing with growing state armaments industries, found little success pitching the LR Rifle to Fiannria, its intended market.

The rifle was adopted fully by the Royal Army as the Type 90 Infantry Rifle, which saw limited deployment during the [[Boreal War]], leading to the introduction of the modified Type 04. Renner died of alcohol-related complications in 1905, while Llewyth founded the Llewyth Rifle Company days before the beginning of the [[Fhainnin Civil War]], during which he kept a low profile until his abduction by the Republicans sometime in 1906. Llewyth's rifles were used widely on both sides in the war. | ||
