Geissele Automatics

Less than 25 miles from Geissele Automatics stood Tun Tavern, the birthplace of the U.S. Marine Corps 251 years ago. Since their birth in 1775, they have evolved into some of America's most formidable warfighters. Happy Birthday, Marines!

There's another Geissele HICAR iteration we've been developing behind the scenes, and it's finally ready for its debut. Meet the Geissele HICAR B.

Built on our SOCOM-proven MRGG platform, HICAR B is the large-frame member of the HICAR family. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and equipped with a 20" barrel, it delivers the capability and performance expected from the precision-focused platform. HICAR B also features the MK24 rail and lockup design first introduced on the Geissele HICAR.

After Adam put the HICAR B ammo through testing, Dean took it straight to the Geissele Gas Gun Series Finale to see what it could do on the clock.

The jump to high-pressure ammo and the resulting 300 FPS increase in muzzle velocity paid dividends across the board. Less elevation hold, reduced wind drift and enhanced impact energy made spotting misses easier and getting back on target faster.

The result: more confidence at distance and more hits when it mattered.

What do you think of the large-frame HICAR iteration?

For this application, we coated an employee’s Springfield 1911 TRP Operator Full Rail after removing the factory Cerakote. The barrel and trigger retain their silver finish, providing sharp contrast to the Nanoweapon® finish.

HICAR Q&A #2: What internal upgrades were made to the Geissele HICAR to withstand high pressure ammo?

For the Geissele HICAR, we completely re-engineered the internals from the ground up. The barrel is crafted with GNB200, specifically designed to combat high heat and increased pressure.

We've also redesigned the BCG, and the rate of fire has been reduced to help with recoil control while firing full auto.

1-MOA performance at 760 yards out of an 11.5" barrel is a feat we're very proud to achieve out of the Geissele HICAR.

While this may seem typical for your average 16-20" competition rifle, the introduction of high-pressure reloads has made this elevated accuracy possible for more compact AR's.

Stay tuned for more HICAR updates!
