Special Operations Command (SOCOM) just ordered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbo.gov\/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;tab=core&amp;id=5e872dd2c5827713cc5f0ffddaf59d9b\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sigs-rattler-military-testing-ussocom\" title=\"SIG's New Rattler Already Pressed into Military Testing with USSOCOM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a small number of M4 conversion kits<\/a> for testing at the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>While the solicitation doesn&#8217;t call the PDW by its commercial name, it&#8217;s clear the military wants to play with SIG&#8217;s new Rattler, an updated version of the MCX carbine.<\/p>\n<p>The military is also testing their sole-source contracting system to procure commercial off-the-shelf or COTS products on short notice. In many ways the commercial market moves faster than the government and this is particularly true for small arms development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sample systems are needed quickly to be used in formal combat evaluations,&#8221; explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrive.com\/the-war-zone\/18250\/us-special-operators-will-test-sig-sauers-new-mini-assault-rifle-in-combat\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sigs-rattler-military-testing-ussocom\" title=\"SIG's New Rattler Already Pressed into Military Testing with USSOCOM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one source<\/a>. &#8220;The current requirement is for 10 kits that will be used in evaluations that will help shape future requirements that are anticipated to be competed in a full and open manner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SIG&#8217;s Rattler is a great example of how consumer and police products can be a few steps ahead of what the military is using. It features quick-detach sling points, a modular free-floating handguard and a self-adjusting gas system.<\/p>\n<p>The Rattler is a very short-barreled version of the MCX with a skeletonized folding stock. It is compatible with AR-based lower receivers and M4 carbines &#8212; it&#8217;s a drop-in conversion kit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"SIG's New Rattler Already Pressed into Military Testing with USSOCOM\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-87659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mcx-rattler-sbr-left-face-400x187.jpg\" alt=\"SIG's New Rattler Already Pressed into Military Testing with USSOCOM\" width=\"400\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mcx-rattler-sbr-left-face-400x187.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mcx-rattler-sbr-left-face-150x70.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mcx-rattler-sbr-left-face-768x358.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mcx-rattler-sbr-left-face-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mcx-rattler-sbr-left-face.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>The MCX is gas-operated with a combination piston and recoil system. This means the recoil system is completely contained in the upper and it doesn&#8217;t need the lower&#8217;s buffer assemble at all. Instead, the MCX and the Rattler can use smaller and lighter folding stocks.<\/p>\n<p>What makes it PDW-like is the compact 5.5-inch barrel and short handguard. Combined with the stocks the Rattler squeezes assault rifle capability into a package smaller than many submachine guns.<\/p>\n<p>The military is ordering kits in 300 AAC Blackout along with 5.56 NATO conversion barrels. The MCX is modular, featuring a quick-change barrel system. While 5.56 is a real flame-thrower with barrels this short 300 BLK does fine especially with sub-sonic ammunition.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/small-teeth-big-bite-the-sig-mcx-rattler-shot-show-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sigs-rattler-military-testing-ussocom\" title=\"SIG's New Rattler Already Pressed into Military Testing with USSOCOM\">SIG&#8217;s New SBR &#8212; The MCX Rattler &#8212; SHOT Show 2018<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>With the kits SOCOM is ordering compact and full-size suppressors, fixed and telescoping folding stocks and optics and magnifiers. Special forces is ordering ten sets of each along with cases and accessories for the converted rifles.<\/p>\n<p>The document doesn&#8217;t specify how much the military is spending on this contract, but with just 10 kits on the line, it won&#8217;t be much compared to everything else.<\/p>\n<p>And while this will surely improve the MCX&#8217;s standing from a hard-use standpoint, it will also indicate whether or not the military&#8217;s more direct purchasing model has a strong future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The right product at the right price, or cozy contracts?
