American Rifleman will report more on the new rifle and cartridge in the coming months, but in the meantime, here are the highlights. The MSR 15 Valkryie rifle is a competition-ready rifle that gets the most from the cartridge’s capabilities with an upgraded 18" barrel with 5R rifling and a crisp two-stage trigger. Its Elite Series Cerakote finish forms a protective layer on the upper and lower, and its adjustable mid-length gas system can be customized to specific ammunition for the most reliable cycling. The full list of features includes:
• MSR 15 Recon platform built around the new 224 Valkyrie • Elite Series Cerakote upper and lower • Two-stage trigger • Hogue pistol grip • UBR Gen 2 buttstock • Forward assist • Muzzle brake with 1/2x28, Class 3 barrel thread • Adjustable gas block • 18" barrel with 5R rifling • Mid-length gas system
