SOCOM's New MK24 Rifle Capable of Firing 7.62mm and 6.5mm Ammo

U.S. Special Operations Command or SOCOM is fielding a new designated marksman/battle rifle that can rapidly swap barrels to shift between 7.62 NATO and 6.5 Creedmoor, reflecting a broader push toward modular, multi-caliber precision weapons rather than “just a gun.” At the center of this change is the LMT-made MK24 Medium Range Gas Gun-Assault or MRGG-A, which will begin entering service before the end of the current fiscal year under a ten‑year, roughly 92‑million‑dollar contract.
