That big SOCOM 6.5 Creedmoor purchase makes more sense now
Back in 2023, we covered the story of Geissele Automatics winning the $23 million SOCOM MRGG-S (Mid-Range Gas Gun, Sniper) award for a full-time suppressed 6.5 Creedmoor rifle with a 20-inch barrel, MOA accuracy, and a fully adjustable stock.
This thing, seen largely as the replacement for the FN SCAR 20 in use by SOCOM
Then last week came the news of the Navy Surface Command dropping $40 million for 17,367,760 rounds of DODIC AC58 6.5x49mm Special Ball Long Range Ammunition.
Now we have a big development, with LMT Defense picking up a $93 million award for the more compact (14.5-inch) new Medium Range Gas Gun-Assault (MRGG-A) carbine.
We have been in contact with LMT, so you can expect to see much more in the coming days.
