Description
The MRAD earned its stripes the hard way. This is the platform that won the military's Advanced Sniper Rifle contract and became the Mk22, and the civilian version gives up nothing in the translation. This .308 Win configuration wears a 24 inch fluted barrel with a 1:8 twist, finished in black Cerakote and mated to a monolithic upper receiver machined from 7000-series aluminum. The full-length M1913 Picatinny top rail has a built-in 20 MOA taper, so you keep plenty of elevation in reserve when you start stretching things out past 800 yards.
Swap Barrels on the MRAD Without a Gunsmith
The headline feature here is the user-changeable barrel system. Loosen two bolts with a standard Torx wrench and the precision-grade barrel comes right out, opening the door to different calibers and barrel lengths without ever shipping the rifle off. One chassis can cover everything from affordable .308 range days to serious magnum work down the road. The match-grade trigger module is just as user-friendly, fully adjustable and removable without tools for cleaning or fine-tuning.
A Folding Stock That Locks Up Like It Is Welded
Plenty of folding stocks feel like a compromise. This one does not. It folds to the bolt handle side and latches around the handle itself for secure transport, and the rifle stays the same overall width folded or extended. Deployed, it locks in rigid as a fixed stock. Length of pull adjusts across five positions with a single button, and the temperature-resistant polymer cheek piece dials in to match your optic height.
Ambidextrous Controls, M-LOK Real Estate
The thumb safety swaps to either side, and the paddle-style magazine release works from both without breaking your firing grip or cheek weld. M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock handle bipods, lights, and rail sections, and multi-position QD sling sockets round it out. With two 10-round magazines included, this is a complete long-range package built to grow with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change calibers on the Barrett MRAD myself?
Yes, and that is the whole point of the platform. The barrel comes out by loosening two bolts with a standard Torx wrench, no gunsmith needed, and Barrett offers conversion kits covering multiple calibers and barrel lengths. Swapping a barrel and headspacing is handled by the design itself, so one chassis can run everything from .308 Win up to magnum chamberings.
Does the MRAD folding stock affect accuracy or rigidity?
No. When extended, the stock locks into place as solidly as a fixed stock, giving you a stable, repeatable platform. It folds to the bolt handle side and latches around the handle for transport, which also means the rifle is no wider folded than it is deployed.
How many magazines come with the Barrett MRAD 18490?
This model ships with two 10-round magazines, giving you a 10+1 capacity with a spare ready to go. The paddle-style magazine release is ambidextrous and can be run without breaking your firing grip or losing your cheek weld.
Is the trigger on the MRAD adjustable?
It is. The MRAD uses Barrett's match-grade trigger module, which is fully adjustable so you can set your preferred pull. The entire module removes without tools for maintenance or replacement, and it is built drop-fire proof for hard use.
