The M6A2-SRT is a carbine rifle designed and manufactured in Springfield, Virginia by the Land Warfare Resources Corporation, based on the M4 Carbine, with which it shares 80% of its parts.[1]. Like the HK416 rifle, it features a proprietary short-stroke self-regulating gas piston system and bolt carrier/carrier key design, which prevents trapped gases from contacting the bolt carrier or receiver of the weapon, which reduces the heating and carbon fouling of the internals; simplifies field maintenance, and improves reliability.[2]

Standard length barrel is 14.5 in, with a 1/7 in twist, and hard chrome lined bore (6 lands, right twist).

Three segments of the successful Discovery Channel show "Future Weapons" were filmed featuring the new M6A2 PSD, 7.62 NATO SABR, and the Infantry Automatic Rifle to air in its 3rd season this fall.
