Special operators are getting a new rifle that can fire both 7.62mm and 6.5mm Creedmoor rounds as a replacement for the MK17 SCAR-H Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle-Heavy, according to U.S. Special Operations Command.

The MK24 Mid-Range Gas Gun-Assault features a “quick-change swappable barrel” that allows the weapon to fire both kinds of ammunition, said Navy Cmdr. Joe Vermette, a spokesperson for U.S. Special Operations Command.

Special Operations Command, or SOCOM, expects to begin receiving the MK24 later this fiscal year, which runs until Sept. 30, and the rifle will be fielded to “multiple SOF components,” Vermette wrote in an email to Task & Purpose.

“The weapon is currently in production and is a direct replacement for the MK17,” Vermette wrote. “SOCOM is pursuing a rapid fielding method that will begin this fiscal year,” Vermette said.
