These are produced with the same chamber as our Spec. MK12 barrels with a slightly heavier profile. Built for reliability and accuracy. Best option for long range, high precision shooting. Available in both 14.5" and 16.1" lengths as well as our newer lengths of 13.7" and 13.25". If no barrel nut is chosen when ordering a pinned gas block, we will leave the taper pin slightly out for ease of removing to install your barrel nut. Taper pin must be re-installed in the same direction it arrived, and then set fully into place.
The original RECCE Rifles were built in-house by U.S. Navy SEAL Team armorers, and later by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (often referred to as NSWC-Crane or "Crane"), the SEAL Recon Rifle was developed to provide SEAL snipers with a portable, lightweight system with greater lethality than a standard M4 carbine. The SEAL Recon Rifle is sometimes referred to as the "Recce Rifle". This was the first rifle based on the M4/M16 platform that was meant to fill the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) role for U.S. Special Operations.
