The suppressed version of the six and three-quarter was the original reason the mcx was designed then we later moved into the rattler family which brought that barrel size down to five and a half never before have we shipped in this configuration an sd ready platform for the reason being.

That once we install the sd handguard the barrel usually sits with inside the handguard with the inert training device it allows to make sure that the user if they do not have espresso installed has the ability to function the firearm without the flash being inside of the handguard.

This inert muzzle device is designed that it can function with the rifle in the unsuppressed setting however the intention of this rifle is to have it set up so that it can be suppressed any 762 suppressor will immediately mount to this platform by removal of the inert training device.

Some of the other features that we have to the cane brake rattler is we have a flat blade fte trigger which is a match two-stage duo trigger to what same as what ships on mcx today and then you also have the pcb folding brace in the back which allows you to bring the rattler down to a.

Smallest possible configurable size for storage this pcb also pivots in the back to allow any users when they're functioning this is a pistol to be able to bend their arms so the rifle will actually contour with their with their arm as they shoot.
