- 6 years in the making, it's now time to FINALLY give my thoughts and feedback on my HK MR556A1. Great rifle, it's my longest review yet, sorry about the run time......I just HAD to listen to myself talk as much as possible. Hopefully you unlock an achievement for listening to me drone on for so long.

I had no idea that Daniel Defense assembled and finished up the MR556's I always thought HK had a HQ in the United States as well as Germany and they were the ones who finished the guns up. I learned something new
I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers. I enjoyed most of you videos and I am going back like 10 years. Really like the consistent style.
Thanks man I appreciate it. I do what I can. I don't mind being a smaller channel. I like not being bought out or pressured to do certain content. The last thing you need to see from me is forced PQP or FN pistol reviews. I like being independent or whatever it is. Thanks for the kind words though. Means a lot.
@@navyman8903 Thank you for your service, man! Be safe out there!
Agreed, honestly one of the best realistic, honest, no frills or shills reviewer on any social media. Always enjoy his videos and actually make you think, solid content!
I almost bought the Geissele trigger but having read it removes the safety feature for uncocked gun, I think I will just stick with the present trigger until they come up with a trigger that works well and does not remove that feature.
I also cannot stop looking at the bolt and its perfect, smooth but tough surface when it is out. I cannot spot even a hint of wear in it.
In the last competition I had to swim to the firing position in sand with this thing (to keep me in cover) and it did not have any issue, even I had the piston well oiled (I use teflon and motor oil combination). After shooting the targets and the RO's marvel at my rifle, it still pulled the last stage without any problems and then after the competition proceeded to burn around 90 rounds of 77 SMKs between 300m and 1.1km targets. Latest 300m paper 5 shot groups were 0.82 to 0.65moa, around 0.7 average.
Great video. I don't particularly have the MR556A1 per say but I do have its bigger brother MR762A1. And you're absolutely correct these rifles were designed by people who must've hated carrying their guns around.😂 They are not meant for carrying by any means. I have replaced most of the MR762A1 stock parts with G28 style pieces and the rifle currently weighs more than my SCAR 20S. No matter what, it's one of my most favorite rifles of all times. Quality of these HK rifles is second to none. This is must be the pinnacle of AR platform. I don't think it can get better than this.
36:40 😅😂... you don’t disappoint man ... this was a great informative, educational and I feel objective video and you rolling a sprinkle of comedy into it makes it that much better ...I didn’t dread cardio as much thanks to these 40 mins of content 😅🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks I appreciate it. Glad I could help with cardio, which I also hate.
Got my MR556 last week Checked the weight on a scale and it is 7.8 lbs without the mag
Nice. Let me know how she treats you.
Hey, brother! Finally got my first real deal rifle (have a PCC), I checked one off the list: H&K MR556A1 “Niko / Nico”.
Always wanted a 417, 416, 416C, G36C, G36, UMP9 (selling my CZ Scorpion and getting a Tommy Built UMP9).
You dont have to worry with me, I want them for use not collecting dust, lol. My EDC is my P30 V3 “Nino” with 17Rd Mags.
2,700 is a steal of a deal. Just got one for 3,500 plus tax and another 1,000 on a new giessele trigger and hand guard. Money well spent tho😂
It is now, at the time it was market value. You'll be upset to know I paid 2K for my second one from a buddy who was getting out of them. Part of it was a buddy hook up price and he had his eyes on another project. But the modern prices make my stomach hurt for sure. I want a second MR762 for a battle rifle project, but I might have to abandon that idea based on the prices. I like having backups. But they are absolutely worth it. Even at the aggressive prices. They just perform.
@@navyman8903 I like your style. Question are you getting any gouging from you cal pin on the upper receiver? I’m thinking about replacing it with a roller cam pin from POF.
@@element7us not gouging, just some wear. I had a roller cam pin from POF before. They make everything smoother.
I thought you had MR556A1 videos. Now, I get why it's a SPR. The non-chrome-lined is just like the stainless steel barrels on Mark 12 clones, all for accuracy. Thanks, Navy. Always learn something new with your videos.
Happy to help where I can.
Thinking of making a piston AR with a quality barrel. Would that be the same thing?
Bro you are becoming one of my favorite UA-camr’s I can actually watch your shit from start to finish and enjoy doing so, and mainly we have the same taste in gats
Thanks man, means a lot. I appreciate it.
@@navyman8903 bro keep going💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Dude me too! Thats why I subscribed, im like a dude whos this good and thinks a lot like me, actually uses his H&K’s, its seriously refreshing.
If you ever heard another guntuber reference a Garand Daddy "If You Ever" quote, and immediately went to his channel searching video after video for the quote, go ahead and hit that subscribe button.
I have one. I had the barrel cut down and reprofiled. It made a huge difference in weight. I'm also going to change out the hand guard to a Geisselle. also have a hammer forged, chrome lined barrel for it made by Nefarius Arms. They did the cut down and reprofile.
Nefarius Arms does good work.
Suttle flex of bringing in the disassembled mr556 upper @ barrel nut discussion
Awesome review as you always put out. I never thought to get an MR556 but I’m thinking about getting one now. The new 2020 builds have a lighter profile barrel. It’s obviously a little lighter but how do you think it’ll affect performance? Was it a good step? Better handling to sacrifice some of the accuracy, or doesn’t matter?
I'm sure the new barrels will adhere to HK's quality standards and accuracy standards. I would be interested to get a hold of one myself to test out.
For sure!! I’m sure they’ll be good to go. I pulled the trigger on a new MR556. I believe it has the heavier barrel but I’m okay with that.
Not sure if you're aware but the newest import MR556s have a thinner HK416 profile barrel, which brings the weight down about 11 oz , and mlok rail making the stock rifle around 7lbs 11oz-ish! Also a lot of people don't realize this, but you can replace the special tool pins if you want with regular (or better yet standard HK416 pins) if you don't like it but it does from my understanding usually give the rifle that tiny tiny bit of movement like a Daniel Defense.
I'll keep an eye out for one to play with/hopefully not buy lol.
I have the newer one with the Mlok rail, I think its solid so I didnt see the need to get a new rail. Running a Vortex Razor 1-6 E. I can easily get first round hits at 350.
Am I the only one that loves their takedown pins? It’s an extra step to field strip, but I don’t imagine id need to field strip this thing in a time crunch.
Thanks for the detailed reviews! Any interest in SOLGW? I’ve wondered if they are worth the extra cash over a bcm. Maybe its the QC like gauging their parts, receivers etc..I know BCM has great QC when it comes to their BCG but idk about the rest of the rifle. Also, have you seen the advantages of the proprietary parts used in Knights gun over the “ traditional” DI ar? Sorry for the long message. Thanks again!
Rumor mill is that BCM contracts out their parts and merely assembles them at their own warehouse.
I'm not super impressed with SOLGW. I'm not saying their bad, but for me it's not a huge jump in quality or worth the increase in price. I would recommend centurion over them. Their barrels are top tier and there are tests out there to confirm. Also the owner of centurion doesn't have the issues that the owner of SOLGW has. I also purchased 7 of the SOLGW steel mags and I'm very underwhelmed with them to say the least.
Solid video and info. Most think this gun is a 416 the way it works, yet dont understand intended purpose and application. Like the MK12, SS barrel was designed for accuracy and never intended for automatic fire. Can it do it? Absolutely, however not recommended. You hit it all, well done!
Exactly and people's expectations are not always realistic. But they wouldn't beat on those other guns so...you would think they could be able to apply that standard to similar setups. Not how it is unfortunately. Thanks for the feedback man I appreciate it.
@NAVYMAN8903
Thank you for presenting this video in a factual, unbiased manner. A lot of good information about this rifke within this video.
Watched the entire 38:43 and still want more. 😂 awesome and detailed review!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you I appreciate it. My most recent video is of the MR762 if you want more HK rifle stuff lol. But thank you for watching.
@@navyman8903 Oooooof! 🔥 🔥 🔥
@@navyman8903You make it difficult to choose between the MR556 or the MR762a1. Ahh!! Choices....😂
Really like your videos and the unbiased, informative content. Keep them coming, Navy!
That bolt is pristine!!
I love it. The machine work is second to none.
Have you looked into gray guns new trigger for the H&K P30. Looking to pick one up and there’s not much on it out there.
I'm not sure about any new offerings but I have their short reset package in my P30L now. I really like it.
I have the gray guns trigger in two of my P30’s, along with lazy wolf trigger jobs. I like the feel of it, but for some reason seem to be more proficient with the oem trigger and lazy wolf trigger job or the oem trigger and gray guns short reset (LEM).
How come you keep the flip up iron sights on? Do you frequently take off the LPVO and shoot irons? Wouldn’t you have to rezero the scope when you put it back on every time? Thanks
All my rifles start with irons and they stay zeroed with the paired ammo. So the irons on this MR556 are zeroed for the 77gr TMKs. I don't take the LPVOs off my rifles once they're on there. I did have to send my VCOG in because i couldn't get the battery cap off after the previous owner painted it. So it's a good thing I have the Irons zeroed so my 11.5 Geissele isn't out of commission.
I will trade in my s&w m&p 15 sport 2 for Hk mr556. I love Hk
So I have an MR556 and I pretty much just replaced the handguard with a UTG Pro 15". It's heavy when I hold it at home at the range you almost forget about it.
That being said, what do you think about the newest MRs that came out recently ? They now come with an M-Lok and a light profile barrel. I would to try the lighter barrel, but part of me thinks that with the loss of mass in the barrel it will get hotter quicker and wear out faster all other things being equal. Now how much faster it might wear I'm not sure, but it should prove an interesting experiment.
I'm interested to get my hands on one and try it out.
You got a like because of your optic choice. I love my two 1-8 accupower’s
They're really solid.
You narrated this like its a love story. Great review bro, thinking about getting one after I purchace a thermal for yote hunting.
Thanks man.
Such a beautiful gun!
Agreed. Thanks for watching.
great vid. thinking about picking one up. subbed!
Thanks and it's been an excellent rifle.
Hey navy you got any suggestions on where to find extra SMR rail sections of the geissele handgard? I’ve been looking but they seem to be either sold out or discontinued everywhere.
Arisaka is the only company I've seen AND trust that makes rail sections/attachments for the SMR. The hand stop on this rifle is Arisaka.
Gu
ALG Defense EMR Accessory Rail
While not euro A3 or A5 status, I'm so glad they updated these recently with the 12.5" MLOK rail, lightened barrel and OTB pin. Finally picking one up. Sucks they finally did it in Xiden's era, but it is what it is. Between the re-intro of civvy MP5's, MR556 upgrades, and OR VP's, now they just need to do OR P series and pic rails on USP's and we will be golden.
The MLOK migration was a smart move on their part save the length. But they were trying to shave weight so....I want to say I get it, but they also know it needs to be longer lol.
@@navyman8903 are 416s available for civilians? I thought they were military only and the 556a1 was the civilian one?
also betweent he 416 and 556a1 which would you prefer?
@@wcsdiaries Yes they are. The 416 is available by 2 means. 1 a post dealer sample 10.4" upper. Or 2. A brownells parts kit build though some people are lamenting the quality.
I like my MR556s just fine for what they are. I use them as 16" precision builds/SPRs as MK12 replacements. They're hyper accurate for an AR pattern rifle and so long as you do copper solvent treatments every 4-5K rounds, they last a long time. There are guys north of 25k rounds down the barrel.
Great video........Question:
how do I know what buffer and spring to get after I chop my barrel down to 10.5
Is there a site or forum you can direct me to please
regards, Rick
I would have the standard spring it comes with on hand, but also have a sprinco white or hot white spring, with an H1 buffer on stand by. The H1 is probably what it will need based on who does the chop and what gas block you go with.
@@navyman8903
So I can't use the original Gas Block?
I thought it is proprietary
Can I jsut cut above the gas block?|
and leave the original gas block there?
Thanks for all your help
@@rickvestuto You can for sure, but some dudes install the vented gas block like they do on the 416's. So if you do that you really have to go much lighter. Using the standard you'll have to see how it runs then make a judgement call.
@@navyman8903
Got it
Thank you so much......Subbed
best regards, Happy holidays
@@rickvestuto Thanks I appreciate it. Take care on your end, and happy holidays to you as well.
Interesting gun and video. In my mind I filed the MR556 under "would never own" but I can see now that was prejudiced.
IT's definitely a solid rifle, but a 416 it isn't. Which is what people expected. Which I can kinda get. But if you're pushing 77gr ammo and shooting farther than 200 yards, I can't recommend this setup strongly enough. IT's perfect for it.
I forgot to mention that the reason why HKMr556 is not able to hold the tolerance in full auto is because they didn’t chrome line the barrel, and they did relaxed the reliability of it cause, 99.99% of the time we are not going to be in that harsh environment compared to soldiers boots on the ground that are in or on the field, they made the civilian version reliable enough that it will defiantly last as long as you are
boo. If im overpaying for H&K i want it to be military spec
@@R.Tafolla you can buy the German 416 upper all you have to do is pay $6,000 or buy the German imported ones that go for $8,000
@@Chris09978 or H&K can just manufacture them to milspec here in the US and offer them to civilians like all the other companies (Colt, FN, Daniel Defense, LMT, Sig Sauer)
@@R.Tafolla No they can’t just do that, Germany have very very strict import laws when it comes to firearms. If they tried to sell like the 16” or the 14.5” they have to sell it as a “pistol” otherwise they can’t, so that’s why you see more German made pistols in states than rifles. I would love to have a fully German made Mr556 that has the same specs as the 416, but thanks to the German import laws and the 922R law we have we know who to thanks for that.
@@Chris09978 which is why I said build a plant here like FN, CZ and Sig Sauer have. If it’s manufactured in the US you don’t have to worry about import laws
Ik this video is old, but HK is starting or trying to import the ones made in Germany the reason why they are having a hard time is cause the ATF is trying to ban it, so if you see them out of stock this is why. If you are looking at the ones that is like 12k for the rifle that’s the old import of them cause they got away with it selling it as a “pistol” the ones you see that are 3k standard price of the mr223 then those are the ones they imported to the US before they were put on hold from the ATF. MrGunsandGear has a video about it kinda disgusting but my fingers is crossed and hoping that the import will continue. Before you guys ask yes HK is trying to import the Mr233 as a rifle I am seeing the 16” 14.5” and 11.5” and they all go for 3k so standard price if you buy the Mr556. Mr223 is the European version or the German made on that’s is a civilian version of the 416 A5/A7 the one that’s here US is the basic 416. Mr223 is updated with an adjustable gas block, and has ambi controls. The Mr556 doesn’t have an adjustable gas block and they say ambi in specs from dealers they do not. That’s the only difference
Sees Navy uploaded another HK video *I instantly click on it😂
Lucky thing i Purchase mine way before whats going on now H&K MR556A1 super hard to find now even if its already used!
I realized all too late how unobtainium all this stuff is now. I kinda feel like a dick because the SMR is forever out of stock, and the rifles come to the US in batches. So once they're sold out for the year, it's out of stock till the next year/shipment.
@@navyman8903 i mean i feel so bad to none of us knew this was gonna happen the resale value on this or even the H&K SP5 is out of this world
@@navyman8903 But lucky for the ones that Possess! this Work of art its like owning Treasure! right now at the moment
Wishing I had your kinda cash for rifle setups.
To be honest it was all planning and it has taken time for me to buy nice things. IF you're consistent you can get there. The lesson/wisdom I wish I took from my uncle was stack money to the roof and ignore just spending money. Then when those deals that would hurt to pass up, you can afford to snipe. IF I had like $10K just sitting/growing here and there, then I could grab anything off my remaining buy list. It is hard though. I've been really lucky and bought at the exact right time for my finances/prices.
To bad they discontinued this rail model.... nice rifle you have!
Thank you. I was lucky to get it and the black rail on my 2nd MR556.
Great video Nice rifle11
Thanks brother.
I want one of these. Price is high, I know. But my only hang up is I don’t know how I feel about an unlined barrel. For you guys that know more than me, is the unlined MR556 barrel an issue?
The unlined barrel is fine if you don't constantly mag dump with it. Use it like a MK12 that you can shoot more and you'll be good.
@@navyman8903 Ok. I went to the store for a DD M4A1 and then saw this HK there it wanted it too. Left with neither as I do more research. Which would you go with if price isn’t an issue?
@fearnonebutone4977 depends on what you have in your safe already. If you have a good fighting rifle already, then get the HK. If you don't have a good fighting rifle then get the DD. The HK with a 1-8 on it or a 2-10 would be excellent for a precision gun with some 77gr OTM.
@@navyman8903 I have a BCM 14.5 pinned, and had a DD MK18 pistol, but just sold it.
@@fearnonebutone4977 if you're good with your 14.5, then I would get the HK.
Do you own a beater rifle? I'm just curious? Personally I could never have such a nice well kept rifle.. i can't be trusted not to abuse things 😕
Meh rifles are tools! They're all beater guns! James Yeager 2024!
(sarcasm)
If you could look at them closely you would see love marks. I don't beat on them, but I don't stop myself from running them how I have to if that makes sense. I'm putting a few "truck" guns together. We'll see how that goes.
Now I REALLY don’t want to weigh my 416 RECCE. It’s gotta be 15lbs or more. 😂
A truly easy thing to do. I can't imagine this thing with a can and DBAL.

Great setup!!! Keep the videos coming. I have a trijicon accupower 1-8 in a Geissele mount on my Daniel Defense V7 and on my Scar 17. This optic is great. I need to get 2 Trijicon credo 1-8s for 2 other builds.
I've got at least 1, possibly 2 Credo 1-8's for projects. I'm also going to pick up 2 of the FFP Red Mil 1-6's for other projects. RECCE builds are going to have 1-8's, and the "do it all" setups are going to have the CREDO 1-6's with an offset dot in a Badger C1 1.70.

@@bradmanheim3598 they are difficult.
Pls do SR15 update
I have to work on that one, someone took that with them when they left. I have to replace it. Not worth the extra struggle to try to get it back, it's cheaper to replace vs dealing with my ex wife. It's my deepest sadness losing that, and the Legion P226 I gave her for her graduation. But the P226 was never on the table because it was a gift and I'm not a piece of shit like that. But I will replace it, and do a video series. I was also very happy with that setup, so I'm going to keep it like that.
Great review and video. Too bad these are unobtanium right now with rona and the world losing its damn mind. Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks I appreciate it.
Love mine but yes she's a heavy girl. Sounds like changing out the handguard ain't gonna change much.
Makes it waaaaay worse with the SMR. I will say though, the weight is with a 30 round magazine loaded with 77gr TMK.
My MR762 and it's chonk says hello. It'll make ya ripped! Lol
nice vid
Thanks man.
... love the current upload rate. 😈 🐬
Trying to stay at least weekly. Big video once a week, and if there's a smaller video I can fit in there. I'm putting a bunch in the tank now before my girl and I take some time together in a few weeks.
why is this barrel most hated?
The profile and lack of chrome lining.
That ejection tho
She's one of those chubby girls with a great personality and a real pretty face. You keep picking up other options but you keep looking at the girl like "man... I should try that out"
A fully kitted AR15 is 9.5-11lbs for me. Once you get over 9lbs, 10, 11, 12 all feel about the same. I've never got to 13 but I would assume it probably feels the same. If you're used to running a 6-7lb red dot only rifle like some newer shooters run as they're usually learning, putting a 13lb chunky girl in their hands may be a little too much to handle. Give it to a real man.
Lol well stated and I agree.
I had the pleasure of shooting one, and it has ruined most AR-15's for me.
Love this gun, the Geissele Rail is a must have. Finally found one in stock and just made mine sexy too. I lift and take testosterone so the weight is nothing for me. Ha
Lifting definitely helps, it helps me move it around without issue. Good snag on the rail. I found a black SMR for my second MR556 so I'm good there. I was lucky to find it on a forgotten shelf of my LGS.
Is that a razor on there?
Trijicon Accupower 1-8 FFP Red MIL. They remade them into the Credo series.
I know this is off topic but Geissele has their Mk16 rail in 10.5 and 13.5 on sale in their blemish section at decent prices. Grab them while you can, I grabbed 3 of both sizes lol.
Dude if I had seen this comment a week ago I would have saved myself $65
@@ralphblack510 oh man that sucks. I’d say buy one for another build, just because lol. I’d say keep checking every day around 3, they put stuff up randomly too.

I don’t think Daniel Defense touches it. (For better or worse). Columbus is the opposite side of the state from Daniel Defense (Black Creek outside of Savannah). Now you have me curious though...
I know they do for a fact. I know the guy trying to get the contract away from them.
Tempted to drop a few grand
I'm very happy with mine and once you get it dialed in with an optic, it's a laser beam.
Jesus she's thick. That is 7.62 AR realm for me
My 762 weighs less lol. Or at least it feels lighter.
HK is evolutionary, not revolutionary. They have a solid 5.56 rifle platform that has been tested, and proven reliable, by armed forces all over the globe.
Why reinvent the wheel when your product speaks for and sells itself?
If you want fluted barrels, and neon green furniture, and whatever goofy designer purse you've turned your AR into... that's your business.
If you want to own an overbuilt, rugged firearm from a legendary company. Invest in a HK rifle
As sweet as the MR556A1 is, I think Sig's MCX lineup is the better buy, especially for the money.
I think the gas piston system on the MR556 is much more robust and longer lasting vs the MCX. I want to like the MCX but the reliability isn't there yet.
Sig is good if you like guns that don’t work
The buttpad must’ve been the piece designed by Americans.
Sig 516>mr556... Improved piston system less proprietary parts annnnd a CL barrel
I don't know if I would say all that and the 516 isn't very well received or used by that many people. I've never seen one in person. I've seen other MR556s in the wild, but never a 516.
Bad lever. Gtfoh. Thanks for sharing!
Gotta keep myself grounded here and there.
So.....should I buy this rifle.????
If it fits your requirements. I really love it as an SPR, it's very accurate and cranks out pretty solid velocity numbers for only being a 16.5" barrel.

@@mrchow489 if you're mag dumping it 24/7 or running it suppressed then mag dumping it, it will burn out quick. So long as you do a copper solvent treatment every 5k rounds and don't cook the hell out of it. You can easily get 20-30K rounds out of it.

Well that weight is also with an HK SS mag with the 77gr TMK. Also I'm getting into LMT now. If you get a line on a MARS lower let me know. I need one for my 10.5.
@@navyman8903 As for the lower, I had a notification at 10:07pm on Friday that RIFLE GEAR DOT COM had some lowers come in. By the time I woke up on Saturday, they were out of stock.
In one of its livestreams, the director of sales said that they were backlogged on the civilian side by six months because of contracts in Europe.
On that LMT 🚌 busssss
@@tmoe6674 At least I admit it. Not many people have their stuff because they are expensive, but I feel that you get what you pay for. It definitely isn’t for everyone.
John Galt No, I’m totally with you. I was cheering NAVY on for getting on the LMT bus. After much research and consideration I decided that LMT was the way to go. I mean once you get up there in that stratosphere they’re all going to be pretty good. but I felt LMT gave you a little something more, with the MARS lower, barrel swap system, the quality of their barrels, mono rail, and the EBCG. I looked hard at a Geissele 11.5 Super Duty that was brand new and 500 off MSRP, and still went LMT. When you broke it down it just didn’t compare. The versatility of the LMT and the quality is just ridiculous. It might not be the softest shooter, or the lightest, but it’s accurate, versatile, and tough; it’s built for war.
First of all. You better be able to mag dump
Nothing quite as awesome as a 13lb, overgassed piston AR with a barrel that shits the bed after 6-7K rounds.
Not sure which gun you would be running like that.....This one can go to 20-30k rounds if you use copper solvent every 5K or so. Just as easy as cleaning it. Plenty of guys have documented 20K+ round counts.
@@navyman8903 I've got a gen1 upper that I bought from Midway in 2015-16. Approximately 7200 rounds before it started keyholing, so your 20-30K for an unlined barrel is fantasy. I've seen one documented case of 9K failure at that huge range in LV, but that was mostly FA fire. Honestly, I don't know HTF that barrel made it to 9K rounds or whatever they got from the MR556 upper. Mine was SA-fire, no mag dumps, no steel-cased. All M193 and 77gr BH.

get yourself some normal activity and stop fooling around
That sounds boring.
Unnecessary terrible impulse from small recoiling 5.56, a rifle that is at the weight of a 308, almost 9 pounds ? ? ?
Come on....
Go with LWRC
Lighter
Cheaper
Shoots same size group
And better recoil management
No brainer
😂😂
"Unnecessary terrible impulse" whatever the fuck that means?
Are you trying to say it has recoil? Imagine that...
Perhaps you'd be more content with .22 rounds? Or Airsoft?
This rifle is overbuilt and purpose built.
It is not a 1000 yd precision rifle, nor is it a Gucci'd out, flavor of the week neon green "top tier" rifle like Aero Precision, LWRC, BCM, DD, Geissele...
Some of the shit you guys covet is just comical.
Evidently HK is not for you. Sometimes you have to pay a premium price to own superior equipment.
HK have been around for generations and will continue to be.
These other "Johnny come lately's"? You can have 'em.

Let me better explain for people who are rather slow
I purchased a H&K MR556 brand new and got rid of it! Used the money and purchased a SCAR. If you have not noticed, the H&K MR556 does not have an adjustable gasblock unlike the LWRC or SCAR. A big turn off! Yes, the H&K MR556 is over built expect for the barrel, they will not exceed the life, not even half that of the SCAR or LWR, sorry.
Oh buy the way, the high end LWRC and SCAR cost MORE than your H&K MR556 or H&K MR762
never complained about the recoil, rather, for a HEAVY gun, bare, is a major turn off. DD and LWRC (piston) are 1.5 -2 pounds lighter. Add some premium optics, rings, and light, and guess what, the SCAR and LWRC both weigh less than your impeccable H&K MR556, dry.
Enjoy - and notice I had no need to impress you with bad language - punt intended - asshole
@@darrinfrench9018Don't present your subjective opinions as fact and try to influence other's purchases. That's a good start.
Your precious LWRC barrels are fluted, princess. I know you like things light and all, but perhaps you should educate yourself on what happens when you REMOVE material from a barrel? I'm no metallurgist myself, but basic physics dictates that when you remove mass from something, you weaken it. But, you go on and enjoy your sales gimmicks and designer purses. 😂😂
"For those that are rather slow"? In YOUR infinite wisdom, you traded a collector's item for a subpar product...And I'm the imbecile? Good move.
My, what an interesting imagination. You must be one of those LARPers 😂😂
