This is "The Best .300 Blackout Gun There Is"?

The SIG MCX Rattler is one of the most popular compact rifles ever made, but almost nobody knows how it came to exist. In this interview, SIG Sauer's Adam Agri explains the true origin of the Rattler, including the accidental conversation that started the project, the original requirement to replace the MP5K, why the first version was chambered in 5.56, why SIG ultimately switched to .300 Blackout, and how the Rattler drove major improvements across the entire MCX family. We also discuss military development, suppressor performance, reliability testing, terminal ballistics, vehicle penetration, the origin of the "Rattler" name, and why Agri believes the MCX remains the best .300 Blackout platform available today.
