There are, but it seems mostly UK Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officers and German SEK. Much harder to find pictures of American units on Google with a search.

Any knowledge on caliber for most of these setups? Looking like a lot of 300BLK use and I think the German with the FDE variant is rocking a 5.56, based on the length of the setup but not entirely sure.

I can only go off what information the internet has as open source. But for users of .300BLK MCX I have come across:

- Australian State Protection Group (South Wales)
- Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Forces and the Dienst Speciale Interventies
- Poland Grom
- USA SOCOM

There might be other groups but haven't found anything open source.

I think at this point it's an actual certainty, especially when (most likely) the Spear (large frame MCX) gets adopted for the Army's Next Generation Squad Weapon-Rifle.

The army hasn't actually complete a weapon swap program since the M16 was adopted.  All they did was scale it down to the M4 or the Mk18, or scale it up slightly for the Mk12.  Everything else they've done has just been wasting money.  Once NATO became a thing, the military lost the balls required to completely switch weapons systems.  "But but but... IT WON'T BE NATO COMPATIBLE!!!"  Who gives a shit?  NATO is almost as useless as the UN.  They can't even be bothered to show up to joint exercises with real rifles.  NATO tripwire bases have their uses, but everything else about NATO just holds us back.  I won't be surprised at all if the NGSAR gets shut down too.

You bring up good points, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shut down either, but it would still broaden the general platform/usage if it was selected, even if it ultimately gets cancelled.

Here's an MCX in the urban jungle, nonchalantly waiting for an unsuspecting arfcom user to stumble with a wallet full of money.

They're a stealthy, but deadly hunter.

I think OP's purpose of this thread being "in the wild" was about military and law enforcement use of the MCX in the wild. Not personal owners MCX pictures. Just based on his first post.

There already is a MCX owners picture thread here:

So that's another transitional handguard.  I was calling it a Vegacy for awhile (half Virtus, half legacy), but I decided that's too gay.  Without counting KeyMod slots, I think that's an 11.5" barrel.

SO I NEED ONE OF THOSE.  BADLY.

Take a look around for MCX hybrids, I saw a bunch of them on armslist awhile back. I picked up one with the transitional receiver and handguard; it's got fewer cutouts in the receiver, and the handguard looks like it's made on the same extrusion as that of the Virtus, with the steel QD socket.

One here

And another here.

Older posts, you’d have to look hard to find them, these days. The receiver is Legacy length, compatible with older handguards, just with different cutouts.

ETA: I asked Coregon about these awhile back when I was setting up a meet to pick up the MCX, but he didn’t respond.

Love to know how these came about, when they started being produced and if they're still available for sale. I've got a 13" but I've met a couple dudes that'd love to get some of the SBR-length ones, myself included.

Any that are out there are just overruns.  The only OEM Guns they shipped on were the M400 hybrid guns.  I think some individual rails went out to Lipseys about the same time, which would explain any you were to find individually.

Certain contracts and tenders have different req’s, specs, requests, etc.  These rails are just the spawn of one/some of those contracts.

Hard to say exactly when they started being made - since they were on complete guns, and not actually meant for individual availability, it’s harder to internally track when they came about.
