Heckler & Koch is pleased to announce that the company has finalized a deal with the U.S. Marine Corps for more M27 Infantry Automatic Rifles<\/a>, or IARs. After several years of limited deployment, the Marines have decided to field the rifles with all infantry units in place of some light machine guns and all carbines.<\/p>\n

The contract, worth over $29 million<\/a>, is for up to 15,000 more IARs and spare parts. That puts the cost per rifle, along with all the extras, at just over $1,961 each.<\/p>\n

Work on these systems will largely take place at H&K’s factory in Oberndorf, Germany. Other parts and components will be fabricated in the States in Georgia and Virginia. This is a five-year contract that runs through April of 2023.<\/p>\n

The IAR, which is based on the HK416, is a ruggedized, accurized piston-driven AR-based rifle. The Marines are so pleased with its performance in the field that they are adopting it in place of multiple different weapon systems. The IAR in its M27 configuration is replacing both carbines and machine guns, while in its M38 config it’s being fielded as a squad-designated marksman rifle.<\/p>\n

The Marine Corps put in their request for new rifles last summer. The initial request was for up to 50,000 guns but there has been external pressure to stop the buy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s possible that the Marines asked for 50,000 rifles knowing they could negotiate down to 15,000. The IAR’s greatest improvement over the M4 is its ability to shoot targets at longer ranges.<\/p>\n

They feature a heavy barrel and gas piston system, which runs cooler and more reliably than direct impingement rifle, particularly when used as a light machine gun providing sustained fire. The longer and heavier barrel are what makes it more effective at range.<\/p>\n

The only major concession is that the IAR weighs more. An M4 weighs 6.5 pounds unloaded, compared to 8 pounds for the M27.<\/p>\n

Despite its relatively high cost the IAR has received high marks from Marine brass and infantry. The IAR is such a success that even the Army is considering other options<\/a> as light machine gun replacements.<\/p>\n

The IAR is not replacing the Marines venerable M40 sniper system. For that, the Marine Corps selected the new Mk 13 Mod 7<\/a>, a semi-custom bolt-action rifle chambered for .300 Winchester Magnum.<\/p>\n
