Why the M110k1 Rifle Is Likely to Remain Solely SOCOM’s

Here's What You Need To Remember: So will big Army and Marine Corps switch over their CSASSs to 6.5 Creedmoor? It’s unlikely. The US Army is still fully invested in the Next Generation Squad Weapon program and is unlikely to spend money slightly improving the capabilities of a rifle they just adopted. The M110K1 is likely to remain a SOCOM-only rifle.
KAC’s M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS) is one of the success stories in small arms procurement for the U.S. military in the twenty-first century. Designed to be a standard semi-automatic precision rifle to be used by various branches and special operation forces, the M110 has largely been successful in that role. The M110 is used by almost every branch of the military and has been adopted by many other militaries from the Americas to Asia. But while Big Army is replacing the M110 with the H&K CSASS, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is planning to upgrade its M110s with the M110K1 upper conversion kit. But what does it do?
