SOCOM fields MK24 MRGG-A with quick-swap barrels for 6.5 Creedmoor/7.62

USSOCOM is beginning fielding of the MK24 Medium Range Gas Gun Assault (MRGG-A), a semi-auto rifle designed for rapid barrel swaps enabling caliber changes between 7.62 NATO and 6.5mm Creedmoor in about a minute. The novelty is the operationally-focused multi-caliber “deployment package” concept paired with SOCOM’s shift to 6.5 Creedmoor for improved performance at ~1,000m, potentially influencing broader force adoption.
