MG Industries (MGI) manufactures a modular rifle system that takes the basics of an AR platform and allows you to swap calibers quicker than many people change underwear. Too cliched? Perhaps, but true nonetheless.
MGI is now making a rifle and a caliber conversion for the .308 Winchester cartridge. The rifle will have an 18″ quick change barrel with a 1:10 twist. Total weight is less than eight pounds.
MSRP is $1795, while the conversion kit is $750.
If you have never seen how quickly the MGI rifles can be converted to different calibers, watch the video below. In the video, you’ll see the barrel, magwell and bolt assembly changed from 5.56 to 7.62×39 in about 90 seconds. The newly converted rifle will now be set up to fire the new cartridge, including using AK mags. It is an amazingly easy swap.
We’ll bring you photos and more information on the MGI .308 modular rifle from the 2012 SHOT Show next week.
