Key features at a glance

Suppressor-ready: rifles ship with a compatible muzzle device (and suppressor on certain packages), so adding a suppressor later is a straightforward screw-on process.
Multi-caliber platform: quick barrel swaps let you switch between .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.8×51 and other compatible calibers while retaining the same bolt and internal components.
Ambidextrous controls: mirrored safety selector, bolt release and magazine release make the rifle equally comfortable for left- and right-handed shooters.
Dual charging options: a traditional AR-style charging handle plus a side charger allow one-handed operation without lifting your cheek from the stock.
Folding, collapsible stock: fold the stock to the side for compact transport or collapse it for adjustable length of pull in the field.

Why the MCX Spear stands out

The MCX Spear’s modular engineering makes caliber conversion fast and repeatable, reducing logistical burden for units that require multiple calibers without replacing whole rifles. The ambidextrous layout and side-charging option improve ergonomics for dynamic shooting scenarios, and the folding/adjustable stock enhances portability for vehicle or airborne operations. For precision shooters, chambering options like 6.5 Creedmoor offer excellent long-range ballistics with low recoil.

Practical considerations for buyers

If you’re evaluating the MCX Spear, consider which barrel/caliber package best fits your mission or shooting goals (6.8×51 for terminal performance or 6.5 Creedmoor for long-range accuracy). Check whether your chosen model includes the suppressor or only the muzzle device, and confirm local suppressor laws and transfer requirements before purchase.
