Marine Corps adopted the HK M27 as its new Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR). The rifle is named for the 1st Marine Division, 2nd Battalion, 7th Regiment, that tested the rifles and IAR (infantry automatic rifle) concept for more than a decade.
The MR27 uses the same HK DNA and offers the battlefield-proven reliability, durability, and precision of a worthy homage to such a proven military rifle. Only 500 “Deployment Kits” will be kitted as fielded by the Marine Corps.
