The M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System is expected to supplant the M24 Sniper Weapon System utilized by expert marksmen, spotters, assigned marksman, or squad progressed marksmen in the United States Army. In any case, the U.S. Armed force still gained M24s from Remington until February 2010.After seeing the impacts of USSOCOM marksmen and broad after-activity reports from SOF riflemen all through the Iraqi theater of operations, the U.S. Armed force ran an opposition including a few plans, including rifles from Knight's Armament Company, Remington, and DPMS Panther Arms.[citation needed] On September 28, 2005, the Knight's Armament Co. rifle won the opposition and was chosen to be the supplier of the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System. The XM110 experienced last operational testing in May and June of 2007 at Fort Drum, New York by a blend of Special Forces troops and Sniper prepared fighters from the tenth Mountain Division. In April 2008, U.S. Armed force troopers from Task Force Fury in Afghanistan were the first in a battle zone to get the M110. The troops evaluated the weapon profoundly, taking note of the nature of the weapon and its self-loader capacities contrasted with the jolt activity M24.

The SR-25, Mk 11 Mod 0, and M110 are construct freely in light of the first AR-10 created by Eugene Stoner yet include extra refinements established by KAC to amplify parts shared characteristic with the AR-15 outline, enhance weapon unwavering quality, and expansion exactness.

The primary contrasts between the Mk 11 and M110 are changes proposed by a client bunch meeting between NAVSPECWAR, USASOC and USA in 2007:

The rail framework utilized: the KAC Free Floated RAS on the Mk 11 is supplanted by a URX secluded rail framework with fundamental collapsing front 600-meter move down iron sight.

The M110 buttstock: altered, however the buttplate is movable for length of draw to match client inclinations. Change can be made without instruments by means of a scored hand-fixed handle on the right-hand side of the stock. This component was included amid the change from XM110 to M110. The settled buttstock additionally highlights necessary snappy separable sling swivel attachments situated on every side of the stock close to the back of the lower beneficiary.

The expansion of a blaze hider to the barrel of the M110, which additionally requires an altered QD Suppressor unit like that on the Mk 11.

On June 12, 2008, the M110 was positioned #2 on the U.S. Armed force's main ten creations of 2007.In July 2012, the U.S. Armed force asked for sources to remanufacture the current M110 rifle into the Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System (CSASS). The CSASS will be a shorter and lighter rendition of the M110 with a collapsible stock and removable flash hider, giving it a general length of 36 inches (910 mm) and a weight of 9 pounds (4.1 kg) emptied. The Army needs a capacity to change over 125 rifles for each month, with the capacity to increment to 325 for each month.[9] The Army formally asked for recommendations for the CSASS in June 2014. On 1 April 2016, the Army declared it had granted Heckler and Koch an agreement with a most extreme estimation of $44.5 million as victor of the opposition to supplant the KAC M110. The weapon chose was not determined, but rather was likely the H&K G28; H&K is to create 3,643 rifles.An objective of the exertion was to give riflemen a weapon that didn't "stand out" as an expert sharpshooter rifle; with a silencer, the M110 is 46.5 in (118 cm), 13 in (33 cm) longer than the M4 carbine. At least 30 CSASS units will be utilized for creation capability testing and operational testing more than 24 months. H&K later affirmed that an altered G28 had surely been chosen as the CSASS rifle. The G28 is almost 6 cm (2.5 in) shorter and 1.3 kg (3 lb) lighter than the M110 (emptied and without a silencer) and will cost about $12,000 per rifle.
