WATCH: SIG Sauer MCX Rattler 5.56 NATO

by SI Staff - Tuesday, January 22, 2019

The SIG Sauer MCX Rattler model first emerged in late summer 2017 as an ultra-compact variant of SIG's popular MCX carbine, an AR-style tactical rifle with a number of enhancements, like the elimination of the rear buffer spring and tube. However, the MCX platform still retains AR-style controls and accepts all STANAG magazines and AR-15 pistol grips.

SIG put a new twist on the platform with the Rattler, though, equipped with a ultra-short, 5.5-inch barrel and chambered in 300 BLK. Though the 300 BLK is optimized for use in short-barrel guns, ammo availability can't hold a candle to the ubiquitous 5.56 NATO, so for 2019, SIG expanded the Rattler lineup to include a 5.56-NATO variant in 2019.
