Tennessee-based Barrett Firearms this week announced new MRAD barrel conversion kits designed to accommodate the Hornady .300 PRC round.
The MRAD conversions come in fluted stainless and carbon fiber wrapped variants with a 26-inch length and 1:8-inch twist rate. Barrett says the conversion kit design allows shooters to maximize the potential of the long-range .300 PRC round.
The company’s MRAD is a modular design that can be reconfigured via barrels to allow for a variety of cartridge chamberings. The MRAD is currently used by militaries in over 10 nations.
