MK22 ADVANCED SNIPER SYSTEM

Based on Barretts Multi Role Adaptive Design Sniper Rifle, better known as the MRAD, the Barrett Advanced Sniper Rifle System was able to meet and exceed SOCOMs stringent requirements for the Mark 22 contract.

Milled from a single block of 7075 Aluminum, the Barrett Mark 22 Advanced Sniper Rifles receiver more resembles the lower receiver of an AR platform rifle housing the fire control group and magazine well, as well as attachment points for the pistol grip and folding buttstock. The upper receiver of the Barrett Mark 22 Advanced Sniper Rifle System also shares visual and functional similarities with the AR platform, with the bolt riding within a completely enclosed upper aided by a polymer bolt guide.

What helped secure USSOCOMs contract for Barrett is intuitive the caliber changing functionality of Mark 22 Advanced Sniper Rifle System (and MRAD). In order to change calibers on the Barrett Mark 22 only two parts need to be swapped: the barrel, held in place by two torx screws and the bolt head.
