The Magnum Research Magnum Lite (MLR) rifle, model SSAT22UT, is an American-manufactured semi-automatic platform engineered for consistent performance. Its foundation is a one-piece, forged 6061-T6 aluminum receiver, precision machined to incorporate an integral Picatinny rail for direct optic mounting. A hard coat anodized finish is applied to the receiver for enhanced durability and wear resistance, maintaining structural integrity under operational demands.
Key Features
Receiver Construction
The rifle’s core receiver is a single, forged 6061-T6 aluminum unit. This manufacturing process enhances material strength and dimensional stability, critical for maintaining repeatable accuracy. The integral Picatinny rail eliminates potential points of failure associated with separate mounting systems, providing a robust and consistent optic interface. The hard coat anodized finish provides a resilient exterior, mitigating wear from environmental exposure and sustained use.
Barrel System
Equipped with an 18-inch black aluminum tensioned barrel, this design prioritizes rigidity and reduced weight. The tensioned system contributes to optimized barrel harmonics, supporting consistent projectile flight. The barrel’s threaded muzzle allows for the direct attachment of suppressors or other muzzle devices, expanding operational flexibility.
Ergonomics & Control
The Magnum Lite rifle features a fixed black thumbhole stock, designed to facilitate a stable and repeatable shooting grip. This stock configuration promotes consistent hand placement, which aids in recoil management and shot recovery. Its right-hand orientation provides an ergonomic interface for the dominant hand.
Reliability & Capacity
Operating as a semi-automatic action, the rifle delivers rapid follow-up shot capability. It accommodates a standard 10-round detachable magazine, with one included to ensure immediate operational readiness. This capacity provides sufficient round count for training, competition, or general utility applications.
