    The HK 416 was developed as a contender for special operations deployment as an operator's service rifle. Nowadays, H&K offers the HK416 system in a civilian for, the MR556, with a heavy target barrel and lockable receivers. How does this compare to the 416? How does this perform on the service rifle range?

    I would LOVE to see the opposite of this. It would be awesome to see what you guys could do with a poverty pony PSA mid-length 16" upper (around $219) and the cheapest PSA standard M4 lower (around $129). For optics use the cheapest variable magnification optics like the $80 Monstrum 1-4x tactical scope and for ammo, use cheap 55 grain Federal XM193 or perhaps Tula .223 steel cased 62 grain ammo if its windy. That I think would be interesting to the vast numbers of us po' folk who can't afford the fancy AR's but who would LOVE to see what experienced shooters can do with such a budget setup.

      @@ryanpeck3377 Either way PSA's are dirty cheap. I actually just got an even cheaper LVPO than the Monstrum 1-4x I mentioned. I got a Center-Point 1-4x variable optic and I have to say that I'm loving it. Instead of the BDC marks like the Monstrum topic, it has just an etched circle and a dot that works well both illuminated or without illumination and is perfect for close range work. It's actually more like 1.5x on the lowest setting but I can still use it with both eyes open at close range. On the 4X setting it works great out to 200 yards but might be trickier for farther distances. But for the 9 Hole test, something like the Monstrum 1-4x scope would be better with the BDC markings and thin crosshairs.

      @@wwclay86 Nice. Yup I got 1.5 MOA with Monarch 55 grain soft point ammo and with Hornady Frontier 75 grain BTHP Match ammo, I got just under 1 MOA (around .90) using the cheapest PSA lower and a 1/7 twist 16" mid-length upper and that cheap center point LVPO that I mentioned. I'm surprised you sold yours. I'll definitely NOT sell mine as I'm super happy with mine. I don't even want change to a free-floated hand-guard as I don't want to screw around with the barrel harmonics. So far pressure on the hand guard doesn't seem to shift point of impact very much compared to when I rest it on its magazine with no pressure on the hand guard/barrel. Granted as the barrel heats up the groups do start to open up a bit, but I don't get too much shift thankfully and I'm gradually getting good at knowing where to hold as the barrel heats up. But for hunting it's that first shot from a cold barrel that matters to me most.
      What's cool is that judging from the massive damage shown on ballistic gel tests of those Hornady Frontier 75 grain BHTP rounds (from a 16" barrel), they should make both excellent rounds for hunting and for home defense. The price on that ammo is relatively budget friendly for match grade ammo. I can't wait to try this rifle out hog hunting. The optic I'm using should be perfect for that as I doubt I'll be making any shots past 100 yards. Now I just need to keep written down my optics adjustments (and then memorize it) for when I switch to the less expensive Monarch 55 grain soft point ammo for regular plinking.

      ehh, something like KACs or LMTs are the exception I'd say, they feature actual changes to the essential parts of the gun (gas system, bolt, carrier, etc) that make a real difference
      you see KACs lasting 20,000, 30,000, 50,000, 70,000, even 100,000 round counts without major cleaning or repairs/part swaps, imagine trying that with a BCM or DD
      imo don't spend more than $1200 on one unless you get an actual improved build like a KAC or LMT. stuff like Colt, DD, BCM, etc are good builds, don't get me wrong I respect them, but I wouldn't pay more than $1200 for one.

    Interesting to see that this A1 version costs 3500 USD (was that including the optic?). I paid 2200 EUR (~2440 USD, but including the 19% sales tax) for my MR223 (the European version in CIP spec .223, which is more or less identical to 5.56x45 NATO spec), but in the A3 configuration with the cold-hammer-forged barrel, chrome lined bore, regular push pins holding the upper and lower together (in the standard AR15 pin locations) and full ambi controls. I tried the IMI, although the 55grs, when I first got it (because it was available for a reasonable price and I had heard good things about IMI's ammo quality), but for some reason it did not like those at all. After some research online it turns out that I was apparently not the only one that had this issue with the MR223A3. Now I'm mainly using GGG (a Lithuanian ammo company) 55grs FMJ and with that I can hold thumbnail sized groups at 100m (from a fully supported position with a rear rest, I'm not that good of a shot to do that unsupported XD) all day, with a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24. Including the opic I paid around 2.5-2.6k EUR, which I think is a fair price for what you get. Granted, it is quite front heavy (even more so if you add a bipod), so for run and gun this is not exactly ideal. But for sitting at the range and punching nice groups into paper, it is amazing XD

    So here's some honest(but slightly biased) opinion. I carried an M27 for several years in the Marine Corps, and am considered by many to be a decent shot. Some of the amazingness with this gun was it's ability to squeeze(quite literally I'll say) extra accuracy out of crap m855 ammo. I've gotten sub moa groups on this weapon system basically every time i shot it on paper. And that accuracy persisted over several rifles over many years while we were shooting 1000's and even 10's of thousands of rounds through these barrels(remember that the military gets a different barrel though, chf with a tapered internal profile to the muzzle).
    This is also the only gun I've ever fired where i never had a single jam besides training with blanks, and that was once because we didn't have the correct blank firing adaptors for them initially. This is over the 5 different rifles i was issued between Hawaii and Japan. We were also able to push these out to around 650-700 meters on a known distance range, during the course which established the curriculum for the new Designated marksman course(they did away with the old one, which was taught with us being issued MK 12 rifles). During that time we could easily, and reliably make hits on man sized targets in some of the crappiest wind conditions you'll ever have on a range(kaneohe bay range is on the back side of this ocean cliff area and the shifts in wind were unbelievable).
    All of this with a 3.5X acog. This gun with an SDO and harris bipod was heavy for what it was, but so much lighter than the M249 and MK 12 which it replaced. And if i were ever asked what off the shelf weapon I'd take in to combat it would be that gun with the a5 enhancements, and either the same optic combo, or a good LPVO.
    I enjoyed carrying it, and would proudly carry one again. I wish they didn't cost so damn much, and I'd probably just go with an upper on a a really good lower(also with a Geissele trigger, Enjoyed the trigger but an ssa is still superior). But i do, mostly, think it's worth the money. I really do miss it.

    I only use the 77gr OTM but I reload and I have a lot of it stored up. I will be using the 77gr OTM on my elk hunt again this year and I will be using it in Alaska to hunt with. A friend of mine lives there and that's all he uses. He uses his Glock 20 SF 10mm for bear protection.

    I own the old A1 Version of the MR308 (have it since 2009) and the A3 Version of the MR223. Both are the German Counterpart from the Mr762 and Mr556.
    But i pay a lot less then ur prices in america ( less then 2000$ in 2009 and for the 308 and 2200$ for the 223 in 2018)
    The precision from both rifles is with good ammo sub moa. and the rifles shooting better than me :-) iam the limiting factor

    • @elbryan9
      @elbryan9 4 роки тому +5

      @Paul Lo Cicero That's exactly the point though. People keep saying these piston systems are more reliable but if that dust cover is open, there's a good chance it'll get fouled up. Inrangetv has a number of mud and dust tests and the DI guns consistently pass but when they did a mud test of the mr556, it had some failures.

    • @beardoggin8963
      @beardoggin8963 4 роки тому +10

      elbryan9 precisely. One advantage a piston gun might have is after 10k rounds with no cleaning, and they are definitely better to shoot suppressed. Otherwise just get a DI gun. Military Arms channel is running a test on a BCM and so far he has about 6k rounds through it with no lube or cleaning and it is still running great.

    • @elbryan9
      @elbryan9 4 роки тому +1

      @Paul Lo Cicero Not sure what "whynisnthe" means but I'm guess you're asking why is the ejection port open? If so, yes, it's good practice to keep that thing shut as often as practical. But if you're in the shit, you might have more important things on your mind like, getting down and taking cover. If you're in a muddy environment, you just might get some mud on your bcg. You can rely on a DI gun to blow that stuff away. A piston gun, not so much.

    I had a bad (eye opening) experience with my US Army-issued, properly maintained M16-A2 while in Germany on an Aviation E&E course:
    My rifle jammed and I became "KIA" because, being "on the run," I had zero time to stop and clean the built up carbon from my chamber and bolt.
    As a result, I became an instant fan of "the enemy's rifle" since the AK was renown for absolute functionality under the exact same conditions-- so much so, I bought one when I got out.
    That said, if I had been carrying this "416" with its piston system, I have a feeling things might've been different...
    *Who cares if your system is "more accurate" than the enemy's if it won't function when your enemy's will?*
    But apparently, thanks to the excellent work you guys do, you've proven you can have both!

      This razor had the M-Rad reticle, not JM-1...if you know mil holds, this works very well. The lack of wind holds wasn't really an issue because the wind was so calm this day. Most of the shooting was done using the center line in relation with the target...had the wind been worse, the lack of markings may have been more evident.

  • @SCQT
    @SCQT 4 роки тому

    Generally agree on all points re piston vs di. I have owned many of each from many different manufacturers, and i feel i need to just add that my PWS (Long stroke piston) MK111M2(5.56) and MK216M1(.308) are the softest / smoothest shooting "AR"s i have shot, period. While even more impressive in the .308 vs its competitors, the 5.56 is like a squirt gun when it is suppressed and adjusted properly.
    The 111 being 6.2lbs, and the 216 being 8.4lbs, put them right in the sweet spot imo for both platforms. Point here being that i dont think many of the perceived downsides that many people see in piston is inherent to the system itself, but more to the execution in specific platforms. Does a piston add weight? Yes of course. Does it compromise the balance of the rifle? Not necessarily. Does it degrade accuracy? Not necessarily.
    PWS is worth a look to many of the people not sold on piston rifles. They are almost exclusively the only AR pattern rifles i shoot anymore. Price point is just right imo as well, but creeping up.
