The U.S. Special Operations Command in 2019 tapped Barrett Firearms to produce what was then termed the Advanced Sniper Rifle.

Back in October this year, Barrett Firearms released the first batch of MK22 Advanced Sniper Rifles to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Since then, they have reached a milestone of producing 1000 Barrett MRAD Sniper Rifles.
