Lightweight, Reliable, Increased Capacity Magazine for Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
Test advanced, more reliable, lightweight polymer or heat-treated hard anodized magazines for the Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) MK 16 (light), and MK 17 (heavy). The candidate magazines will provide an advanced magazine design that is injection molded of state-of-the-art plastic resin or heat-treated hard anodize metal, and once inserted in the weapon, prevents outside contaminants from entering from either the magazine itself or the magazine well. The primary outputs and efficiencies will be new magazines that provide additional ammunition capacity for MK 16 and MK 17, are unaffected by rust or corrosion, and can easily be cleaned in the field.
