MR556 “disadvantages” Her barrel profile *THICC* Her barrel interior *RAW* Her receiver play *TIGHT* Her buttpad and rail system *WIIIDE* I fail to see these disadvantages 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still can't believe people get suckered into buying that thing. There are so many AR companies out there now that give you way more for your money. HK doesn't like the civilian market. The MR556 is wayyy overbuilt. It weighs damn near 9lbs. That's a compromise. It costed 500 dollars less 5 years ago. That's quite the mark up. Believe me, I about bought one a few years back until I discovered LWRC. They give you way more for your money. Even a BCM for that matter. Everyone is like "wELL tHe sEAlS uSe iT" well .. actually they aren't all rocking hk416s anymore. They all have different systems from different companies. Plus the HK416 is absolutely nothing like the MR556. I honestly don't know anyone who would want to lug around a 9lb AR15. That's AR10 weight territory. Rant over
@@rowdyzack5914 What did you just say to me, you little - - - - - - - - - {INSERT ENTIRE NAVY SEAL MEMEPOST HERE} XD See, now, *I'm* having *fun* with it.
I Own this rifle! Shoot mostly in 3Gun Competition. Never had a feed failure, or failure of any kind. The accuracy is outstanding. My only issue is weight. Use Geissle trigger and fore stock! GREAT FLAWLESS WEAPON
great video. what's the difference between the competition model and this one other than the handguard? would you recommend one over the other? thanks for your work.
This and the SCAR 17 will complete my collection (which includes POF ,S.A. ACR, Ruger etc). The HK was the system that turned my on to piston systems and I really look forward to picking one up. Hell I'm not very picky, I love em all. HA! My cats are self absorbed meatheads too!
Only regret I have with the one I purchased is I'm still paying it off. Thank you for sticking up for the MR556A1! I get grief from my friends for owning one too.
I own two of them and and laugh at all my friends after i run a few hundred rounds through it and it takes me 10 minutes to clean it. They on the other hand run 50 rounds through their AR's and it takes forever to clean them. This is the best rifle out there worth every penny!
@DevilDolphin My buddy has one. He was wondering how much customizing you can domto there Hzk MR556s. Such as, Can you replace the stock with a Mil Spec stock like a MFT Minimalist stock? Or put in a mil spec drop on trigger? Thanks!
Did you know you could add the HK MR556A1 take down pins to any mil spec lower ? I added them to my mk12 build, it removed the play between the upper and lower for me.
I actually did not know that. If I get some play in a rifle build coming up I'll add them. They suck sometimes to take down, but there's absolutely no denying how they dial out the play in the receivers.
They have the POF Revolution 16 inch AR-15 in .308 it would be a tough choice to pick. What would you rather have a POF .308 (ambidextrous) AR-15 or still the HK MR556? I mean when you shoot you’d make the stronger shots count with the .308 knock down power.
Nice video! Glad you got a chance to put some rounds through your MR, the full review will be interesting - as I'm sure the felines will take part as well. My 14.7" LWRCI (with a M4-2000 can) really likes the 77 grain offerings from Black Hills and IMI, so I'm sure you'll continue to have similar results with your MR. Thanks for putting the video out.
That's exactly the ammo I'm going to run through it. The Black Hills 77gr stuff is in the #1 slot for me, but the IMI stuff is #2 for sure. Solid quality, little less expensive, and widely available presently. I'm going to focus stocking it in the future. I'm also looking at LWRC as soon as I get my MR762 and SCAR17. I think I'm sold on the IC-SPR to start with, then I'll probably get another. The 3 I've handled were on par with the HK's quality, about 1.5-2LBs lighter, and very attractive rifles. The price point isn't hard to live with either so long as you don't pay top dollar.
I bought the competition version. Love the gun. My friend has a scar and it gets dirty so fast even when my HK is suppressed it has just a slight dirty residue after like 500 rounds. And for people complaining about the weight just workout I weigh like 155 and it’s not heavy to me and I’m not just shooting in an indoor range I’m running and doing zone transitions with it for a good 3-4 hours. I’m about to buy a geissele rail but I’m also thinking about buying the Vltor A5 full kit and I’m wondering would you go with a heavier buffer like a H3 or H4 rather than a H2?
The heavy profile barrel is not a disadvantage unless you are going to carry it for extended periods in the field. Probably not an issue for a civilian purchased rifle. The heavy barrel allows it to handle the heat better and fire more accurately. Same with the non-chrome lined barrel. Chrome lining reduces accuracy slightly, but enhances corrosion resistance, which is a good thing, if you are going to carry in the field for weeks and may not be able to clean the barrel as consistently as you would need or like to clean it. Additionally, chrome lining enhances durability. Overall, not a disadvantage. Pretty smart for HK to make this weapon more accurate for civilian use, and generally won't impact the user.
I’d love to get one but I have a LWRC 5.56 A1 (piston driven) and it’s every bit as good or better and you can save about $800-$1000. Those of you not familiar with LWRC, should look those up. I’ve seen them come out of water, sand, mud and start shooting, excellent rifle.
I'm right there with ya man. I always hear the MR556 get cursed the minute someone brings it up in conversation. The first thing that people dont like (naturally) is the price, I hear the "what can a MR556 do that any good AR can't do". Then comes the barrel, and like you mentioned the fact that it takes emags and not Pmags, while that's an inconvenience it's no big deal to me at all. good video
Hello kind sir! Me again with a comment-question I have an HK MR223 14.5" and I wish to buy a Geissele HK 416 Modular rail for my rifle but if my HK is 14.5" long, the rail it will cover the muzzle or it will be a little shorter than the barrel/muzzle? I hope you can image what i'm saying
I've read that the HK416 "allows complete ambidextrous operation of the weapon". Can that be said about the MR556? I'm a lefty looking for my first AR, so this would be a huge selling point for me and would be more willing to spend the extra cash for.
The sig isn't on the same level as the HK or LWRC. I would get the LWRC and set it up as a fighting rifle. Dot, or a 1-4 variable power, with a light, and possibly a can. That's a door kicking light weight piston rifle. The HK is a perfect special purpose rifle or 5.56 DMR. It's heavier and will do nicely with a 1-6x or 1-8x variable power scope with 77gr Black hills ammo. You can shoot them both quickly and run them both hard. If you're all about doing 10 mag dumps when you shoot, the LWRC will serve you better. The HK can take the abuse, but not extreme abuse if that makes sense. Not environmental abuse, I'm talking putting it on a full auto lower to be clear.
DevilDolphin yeah, but it’s an HK. “Second Cool “ if you know what I mean. If I am not mistaken, the designer of the 416 actually defected to SIG and was involved in the 516 project. Maybe I should just get one of each. LOL.
Honestly if you get all of them, or an HK and sig. Let me know how you like them. You'll also be able to see the quality differences. I'm not saying the Sig is a bad rifle by the way. They run just fine from what I've seen. The HK is unreal. I'm picking up some adjustable gas block LWRC's for my wife and I for dedicated suppressed rifles. I'll compare them to the MR556 when I get them.
DevilDolphin I wish I could afford all of them! I really have my eye on the LWRC. It’s a used gun in Olive Drab with an Eotech. I wasn’t really looking for another rifle and especially not a piston gun, but I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s old enough that it doesn’t have the twisted fluted barrel, but it does have the one piece bolt carrier. 2k for the package deal.
How is the weight on this? I've found a used one for 1400 on armslist but i have a very bad back that was injured in a car accident so i tend to like lighter rifles.
If you like lighter rifles and don't want to possibly set it up as an SPR (high power glass and bi pod)....then I'd pass. But $1400 is a solid deal if it's 100% HK. That's about the price for the upper.
I love my MR556A1 there a little heavy and cost alot but I have to say you get what you pay for one of the best Ar platform rifles you can get. #nocompromise
And here comes me, the guy commenting that a LWRC is head and shoulders ahead of a overpriced, overbuilt, HK that can't even accept gen 3 pmags. Plus LWRC has way more options and variants. And cost quite a bit less.
What about using a ranger band or two to lash that little tool to the offside of the stock so you don't have to keep it in the hidden compartment and wear out that tab assembly from regular twisting on and off?
My MR556 is an outstanding weapon. Shoots any ammo very very well. It's just stupid accurate. With 77 gr mK262 ammo it truly stands apart from pretty much all of my other ARs. This 16.5" barrel is accurate WAY OUT there. The Geissele trigger is an amazing upgrade. I put the black Geissele 14.5" rail on mine. LOVE IT!
I love mine I went with the competition HK rail. Yes she is heavy and I may try the Geissele rail, no way I will ever part with the rifle though. Love the cats.
I mean the way I’ve seen it is heavier just means less recoil. AR’s don’t really have much recoil to begin with so I’d think just even less. My personal preference is the least amount of polymer I can get. I personally like the weight.
Daniel Defense is a very solid rifle company. I'm considering using their uppers for my DI builds, and the DD5V1 is on my radar as well. This rifle though, is definitely something special. Super smooth and easy to keep flat, even with the A2 on the front. I can't imagine it with a brake. Which I'll probably not do, because this one is flat shooting, and doesn't disrespect its surroundings
Ha Ha Ha love the Kat , I have to agree with everything and I mean everything you said in this vid Love my MR556A1 and have had it for a couple of years now and I 'am embarrased to say I thought mine was a 1in 9 twist. Anyway my only comment about it would be the sling attachments and the weight...... but I can live with both.
cool. i just built a 762 and went with the melonite barrel even though it was cheaper. Comforting to a premium manufacturer like is using the sam material, although in sure it way better quality lol
It is indeed. I plan on covering that in-depth in the review coming up here soon. Thanks for highlighting that as a reminder, I'm taking notes as I type this response for the review. Perfect timing.
How's it balance as you have it equipped? I Joebobbed up an SPR with an 18" DD heavy profile barrel and that thing is a pig with the optic, rail, and bipod... but I love it. I CAN shoot it unsupported, but it sucks and my groups are a joke... not that I have the cash to blow on anything that has Hk stamped on it right now, but I'm wondering if this might be a better idea in the future. Two inches of extra barrel isn't doing all that much for me velocity wise and that's the only real justification I have to stand on for the 18" barrel over 16". So that's my life story, hope you liked it.
Well she is very balanced as I have her equipped, but still quite heavy. Especially with the stainless HK mag. I will say, so far the MR556 is my favorite AR to shoot because it's heavy, it stays flat. The recoil impulse is perfect too. I like how heavy it is supported, but I might hate it after a 12 hour shift if I had to carry it, or something like that. Until I started pressing the trigger on threats that is. That SPR sounds like an amazing gun. I love heavy profile barrels, and I'm also looking to get into an 18" setup. Do you have a video on it on youtube? I'd love to see your setup and take notes possibly. It's a project down the line for me, but still one I'm looking to get. I'm shooting for an updated MK12 SPR.
+DevilDolphin Sadly, I do not. It's a shooter though... I the recoil impulse is really unique and I love it. It's very soft and straight back into the shoulder. I'd call it "sharp" but very mild, if that makes sense- like the impulse seems to begin and end faster than any other AR pattern rifle I've fired. I live in Suburbia Hell, Illinois, so I don't take it out much. Buuuut, I'm moving to Utah at the end of the month, so I'll be able to stretch my legs out a bit and see what it can really do. As far as relevant parts, front to back- Battlecomp 1.0 DD SPR barrel, midlength gas BCM upper Spike's lower with enhanced NiB LPK LMT enhanced carrier w/ milspec bolt A2 stock and rifle buffer w/ Sprinco Green spring, but sometimes it goes on a lower with a VLTOR A5, A5H4 and Sprinco green spring.
Thanks man I'll give those parts a look. Having moved to Texas from NY I can tell you freedom is awesome. Stuff they'd sweat in NY, isn't even a thing here. Being able to shoot long distance is also very nice.
Just threw up a few videos for ya, they're real dry, so hopefully it's not too painful... First try at UA-caming, so hopefully it gets better with time haha.
This and my SCAR 17 are guns I will never sell - love them both. My only beef is it's also the heaviest AR you will find, but it's built for the end of the world.
Bro I love my mr556 its just quality that's also never loses value right now they're going for 4000 on gunbroker. I bought my for 2500 seems like a great investment.
Presently its got a Vortex Viper 1-4 in an american defense mount. But I plan on getting a 77gr Trijicon VCOG on it eventually. I plan on feeling this gun a steady diet of 77gr black hills and 77gr IMI with that glass to see what work I can get done with it. It is a remarkably accurate rifle.
1/7 is solid, I'd go as far off as 1/8 in an 18" SPR build because it seems to be the voodoo setup if you listen to people tell it. I am definitely a fan of the 1/7 twist though. I also think the process in the barrel is superior to chrome lining, but you can't say such things on the internet I guess.
My only thing is It does not come with a picatinny rail. Idk about anyone else but I like my full rail and just personal preference the other is the price as well as the non chrome line barrel. Just me though.
I considered buying the HK 556. A friend of mine at my office brought in his hk 556 for me to check out when he found out that I was considering it. I liked the HK very much. However, I did not buy the HK and instead bought an LMT CQB DI with the monolithic one piece upper for about $1600.00. There were three reasons why I did not go with the HK. First, price. At the time the HK was selling for about $3200.00. The second was the weight. The HK is noticeably a lot heavier than the avergae ar. Third the piston system. Every manufacturer is doing something different with their piston systems. Unlike the DI. I would not discourage anyone from an HK556, it is a super fine rifle and very well made just like their pistols which I own several of. I make a very good salary and could afford the HK556, but I could not justify the pice tag to myself.
Having handled but not fired one, and being immediately handed a lightweight AR right afterwards, I can honestly say the MR556 seems built for fighting - it's like the AK of the AR-15 world. I won't fail you, and you can probably use it as a hammer, shovel, and can opener without problems. If that's what you need, then I feel the price is worth it (under the: "How much is your life worth?" question). If youfeel something else gives you a better ROI, and just plain works better for you, go for it. Personally, I'd probably do just fine, where I'm currently at, with an M1 Carbine and plenty of ammo, if I had it, just to demonstrate needs/requirements disparity. I don't need hyper precision out to 1,000 meters, or a tank-gun. I need light, carryable, 300 meters max range is fine, and "hit man-sized target, but probably wildlife instead" at that range. Only complaint is finding ammo.. any ammo, really, these days.
@@calanon534 Thanks for input Cal. I am probably a lot older than you and have seen ammo shortages in the past, and I learned my lesson. I set a goal of how much ammo I wanted to store for each caliber of firearm that I own and started to stock up over the years. I have a stack of ammo that is 4 ft high, 6 ft wide, and 4 ft deep of 1000 round boxes of 5.56, 9mm, 45ACP, 00 buck, 38spcl, and 22LR. When I bought my 5.56 I paid $290.00 a box (PPU), $165.00 a box for 115g Speer ball ammo, and $265.00 a box for Sellier Bellot 45ACP ball. I do not even know how much that stuff is going for now. When this Covid shortage is over, start buying and stock up. You'll be glad you did in the future when the next shortage hits and you are sitting on a pyramid of ammo that you bought cheap.
@@doobiedoo7623 You might be older, but liekly not old enoguh to be my father, for example. I have heard similar advice from others in the past, and have tried my best to acquire within my means, a stockpile for my limited arsenal. I'm at the "I have enough to get THEIR guns" stage, not in the "I feel safe with this amount" stage. This being a huge change from three years ago, when I was "Nogunsatall" by virtue of having grown up in C(r)ook(ed) County to a family with zero interest in them, and then moving to California for 16 years. COVID will only be over when the people of the world say "ENOUGH" and do it in a manner that our elected and unelected overlords, as they see themelves, listen.
@@calanon534 I too had no interest at first in firearms and grew up in Ca where I still live. I became interested when I became an LEO and started to collect them. I have turned on some of my friends and family members into firearms and have taken them to the range to shoot a firearm for the 1st time. They all became fans instantly and bought their own right away. Keep stocking up until you are satisfied. I would not buy ammo now, its way too expensive. Be patient and wait, the prices will come down. Then start stocking up again until you reach your goal. I did not. My goal on 5.56 ammo was 20 boxes of 1000 rounds, and I fell a little short. Don't even get me started on Covid, its all about control. I see our overlords playing the Covid control game at least till the mid-term elections, specially here in Ca.
Hello DevilDolphin, I have saved up quite a bit of money in the last couple of months to buy my first rifle and I really don't want to regret my choice, that's why I'm looking for some recommendations. It would be very nice if you could give me some advice on what to get. I'm looking for an AR15 chambered in .223 / 5.56 that is as reliable as it gets. It shouldn't jam even under adverse conditions and it shouldn't need a lot of cleaning. It should also be durable enough that I could use it for the rest of my life. Furthermore the rifle should be accurate, well manufactured (with low tolerances) and compatible with a lot of other equipment such as magazines from many different manufacturers. Another important aspect for me is that the gun doesn't weigh too much so that it can be used for long periods of time. I'm living in Germany and I may not be able to get every gun that is available in the USA. However I have taken 4 guns into perspective that I can get my hands on and that all seem to come close to what I'm looking for. These 4 guns are: - MR556A3 (MR223A3 in Germany) - SIG516 Patrol - CR223 - PAR Mk3 Which one of these 4 rifles would you recommend to me? Or do you know one that might suit my needs even better? I'm glad that you read until this point and I'm looking forward to your reply! - Ilyas
I'm in Italy and I think my first AR will be the MR223A3. The first models are not compatible with some magazines, however magpul upgraded their line to make them compatible with the HK. I don't know the prices in Germany but here a basic non chinese AR costs 1200€, so I'd rather spend on a quality rifle than having something that I'm not satisfied with. I've seen the MR223A3 in a gun shop and it's amazing, german things are always the best!
I agree on your point that quality goes over quantity, that's why I saved up a lot of money in the last couple of months. I want to be satisfied with what I get and not regret my choice. Here in Germany the MR223A3 costs about 2700€, maybe somebody could get it for about 2500€ if this person finds the right dealer. However that's still a lot more expensive than most other AR15s and to me it seems like there isn't a big difference between the MR223A3 and similar rifles like the SIG516 Patrol. An arms dealer told me that the biggest difference is the manufacturing quality, however he hasn't gone into detail. I think that I'll keep researching and try to find out more about these differences.
The SIG is a great rifle too! Prices are the same here, so the difference between them is about 600 euros. I personally love the FDE color and it seems like the SIG doesn't offer it unlike H&K. I'm still dubious too so few days ago I've bought an AK103, totally different from an AR but I love its ruggedness, its simplicity and the recoil!
It's amazing that ton's of people will also try to tell you that the SCAR isn't worth the price which is an amazing gun. People do the same with the HK MR556. I'll be picking one up within the next couple days. It will round out my collection really well.
The keyboard warriors always seem to complain about the rifles they can never afford to buy. Ask ten people that hate on the MR556 if they have ever owned or fired one and nine of them will say no, they be too broke. Anything above $2000 seems to be the cut off.
It depends on what you want it for. If you want a gun to fiddle around with at the range just to show off to your friends and poke some paper at 100 yards max from a nice bench, then there's no reason to spend more than $1000. If you want something that you can drag through the dirt in Afghanistan and still have it function flawlessly when people try to kill you, then you are going to spend at LEAST $2000. It's all relative according to your standards.
I shouldn't have come off saying it's completely ridiculous. If someone want's to spend that much then so be it, I've done worse. It;'s the fact that people keep trying to justify the price claiming things like tactical advantages and what not. Just admit you got the gun because it's bad-ass. The military found the full size m16 to be more reliable for a fraction of the price, but the m4 to be less reliable. My beef is more with HK and the fact that they overcharge for everything and add features like the pins just to add to the price. You can fix receiver slop with an o-ring over the front pin. Luckily they've changed things like this on the newer models.
they couldve just did what lwrc did and used a set screw in the pistol grip to tighten any slop (not that i have any whatsoever in my newest 2 lwrc's).
I love the pistols and liked my MR..but my DD V11 PRO is #1 with my KAC #2 then the MR which I soldfor the SR15. The weight and the take down tool plus mags were just too much ..
It is a heavy rifle for sure, and I've fired a Knights SR-15 with a surefire brake. She was a laser beam. Knights SR-15's are king DI in my opinion. I'm also going to get into some Daniels eventually, but I've gotta knock out the huge purchases first, then get down to the less expensive stuff on my gun list. I'd say you've got 2 of the best DI offerings out there.
I guess piston guns are not for me, I I dunno. ? KAC are my local boys so I like to support the Florida crews. I shot 500 rds out of my king of combat pistols, HK45 :) and the slide was going into battery when I slammed a new mag in..my P30l does this as well ..is this normal ? I actually like it as it is one less move to get back in the fight, no slingshoting the slide or dropping the slide release..
if i could sell all my ar's i wouldnt hesitate to buy an mr556. definitely not going to get my money back from selling them. wish i could do it over but oh well. ive been trying to sell my dpms recon 308 for over a year and no luck. that geisselle rail looks damn good on your mr556
You have a totally different rail than ours came with stock. I don't need chrome because I'm not firing full auto for extended periods. I'd rather take an extra few seconds to takedown in exchange for precision. Clear polymer HK mags are available direct from HK for $30 or less.
I agree, you can run it quickly all day. Shot strings, and even mag dumps if you want. But it's just not designed for full auto, which makes people butt hurt I guess. Like they'll ever be going full auto in the first place. Most dudes down range and badasses I know told me they seldom flip the switch over to auto. On sub guns all day long, but the rifles they usually use semi.
DevilDolphin The >>> switch is basically the $$$ switch. Most web haters are armchair commandos. Same crap in the motorcycle world. People brag about this bike or that being the best, but they couldn't even squeeze out 10% of the machine's performance on the street if they wanted to. The only way to beat HK reliability and precision is to go custom. Makes me laugh when people argue custom builds are better than HK. Duh, pretty much any professional custom job is going to be superior to a mass-produced item.
H&k rifles are some of the best of the best out there i want the mr762 the only thing that keeps me from buying one or a knights armament is they are both proprietary so parts my be hard to find with that said for the everyday man that loves to get out and shoot or take class's you wouldnt wear anything out that would need parts
Great guns, let’s be real though. Way overpriced for what they are. Lots of other rifles that look the same and will do the same thing. Also, I wouldn’t change a thing if I owned the rifle and paid $3000 for it. Bottom line is, if your an HK fan and have the coin it’s worth the money. If not, build you out a $1500 AR15 and you’re gonna get equal or even better quality. All that being said, I bought a MR556 today for personal use cause #Merica
Yes, I'm almost at 1,000 rounds. My schedule sucks and I just PCS'ed to a new duty station, so I have to find a new range that I can film at. Also hopefully run it how I like to. But there will be one coming up. I just got internet in my house yesterday too. I was going to start filming this weekend, but I caught the crud going around, my voice is shot and I can't stop blowing my nose. So hopefully next weekend I can start up for a bit.
I haven't fired mine yet. Which is eating at me. I'm having trouble finding a range that will let me run it, and the out door ranges are slow fire from a bench only. We'll see here soon.
MR556 “disadvantages”
Her barrel profile *THICC*
Her barrel interior *RAW*
Her receiver play *TIGHT*
Her buttpad and rail system *WIIIDE*
I fail to see these disadvantages 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still can't believe people get suckered into buying that thing. There are so many AR companies out there now that give you way more for your money. HK doesn't like the civilian market. The MR556 is wayyy overbuilt. It weighs damn near 9lbs. That's a compromise. It costed 500 dollars less 5 years ago. That's quite the mark up. Believe me, I about bought one a few years back until I discovered LWRC. They give you way more for your money. Even a BCM for that matter. Everyone is like "wELL tHe sEAlS uSe iT" well .. actually they aren't all rocking hk416s anymore. They all have different systems from different companies. Plus the HK416 is absolutely nothing like the MR556. I honestly don't know anyone who would want to lug around a 9lb AR15. That's AR10 weight territory. Rant over
This is my favorite parody account.

Did you know you could add the HK MR556A1 take down pins to any mil spec lower ? I added them to my mk12 build, it removed the play between the upper and lower for me.
I actually did not know that. If I get some play in a rifle build coming up I'll add them. They suck sometimes to take down, but there's absolutely no denying how they dial out the play in the receivers.
Thanks for the info brother.
You can use the tip of a 5.56mm instead of the tool to take down the rifle.
Where did you find/buy the HK takedown pins?
This is my dream AR! As far as the Aimpoint PRO.....been running one for 5 years now. I love it.
I personally thinks the Mr556 with a 10.4" barrel and the Remington RAHG rail looks dope. Dream gun right there.
They have the POF Revolution 16 inch AR-15 in .308 it would be a tough choice to pick. What would you rather have a POF .308 (ambidextrous) AR-15 or still the HK MR556? I mean when you shoot you’d make the stronger shots count with the .308 knock down power.
I can already hear it. "Its too heavy!" "Expensive"
Nice video! Glad you got a chance to put some rounds through your MR, the full review will be interesting - as I'm sure the felines will take part as well. My 14.7" LWRCI (with a M4-2000 can) really likes the 77 grain offerings from Black Hills and IMI, so I'm sure you'll continue to have similar results with your MR. Thanks for putting the video out.
That's exactly the ammo I'm going to run through it. The Black Hills 77gr stuff is in the #1 slot for me, but the IMI stuff is #2 for sure. Solid quality, little less expensive, and widely available presently. I'm going to focus stocking it in the future. I'm also looking at LWRC as soon as I get my MR762 and SCAR17. I think I'm sold on the IC-SPR to start with, then I'll probably get another. The 3 I've handled were on par with the HK's quality, about 1.5-2LBs lighter, and very attractive rifles. The price point isn't hard to live with either so long as you don't pay top dollar.
I bought the competition version. Love the gun. My friend has a scar and it gets dirty so fast even when my HK is suppressed it has just a slight dirty residue after like 500 rounds. And for people complaining about the weight just workout I weigh like 155 and it’s not heavy to me and I’m not just shooting in an indoor range I’m running and doing zone transitions with it for a good 3-4 hours. I’m about to buy a geissele rail but I’m also thinking about buying the Vltor A5 full kit and I’m wondering would you go with a heavier buffer like a H3 or H4 rather than a H2?
Good to know. I just shot 400 rounds suppressed yesterday. I was dreading opening it up today. I was getting a lot of "splashback" from shooting.
This rifle is awesome , as are your no nonsense reviews.
The heavy profile barrel is not a disadvantage unless you are going to carry it for extended periods in the field. Probably not an issue for a civilian purchased rifle. The heavy barrel allows it to handle the heat better and fire more accurately. Same with the non-chrome lined barrel. Chrome lining reduces accuracy slightly, but enhances corrosion resistance, which is a good thing, if you are going to carry in the field for weeks and may not be able to clean the barrel as consistently as you would need or like to clean it. Additionally, chrome lining enhances durability. Overall, not a disadvantage. Pretty smart for HK to make this weapon more accurate for civilian use, and generally won't impact the user.
I have about 4000 rounds through mine and it has performed flawlessly!
I’d love to get one but I have a LWRC 5.56 A1 (piston driven) and it’s every bit as good or better and you can save about $800-$1000. Those of you not familiar with LWRC, should look those up. I’ve seen them come out of water, sand, mud and start shooting, excellent rifle.
Thats a great Rifle for sure.
I'm right there with ya man. I always hear the MR556 get cursed the minute someone brings it up in conversation. The first thing that people dont like (naturally) is the price, I hear the "what can a MR556 do that any good AR can't do". Then comes the barrel, and like you mentioned the fact that it takes emags and not Pmags, while that's an inconvenience it's no big deal to me at all. good video
What's the length and model of that Giessle hand guard?
I just bought the upper and put it on a noveske lower. But yes it is a pretty awesome rifle.
Review was great! Picked mine up yesterday after a 1 year wait!
Hello kind sir! Me again with a comment-question
I have an HK MR223 14.5" and I wish to buy a Geissele HK 416 Modular rail for my rifle but if my HK is 14.5" long, the rail it will cover the muzzle or it will be a little shorter than the barrel/muzzle? I hope you can image what i'm saying
Nice review. Where did you find the Geiselle rail in FDE?
My new favorite UA-cam channel.
NavyMan is wise
edit: Holy Shit!! I just realized Tactical Kitty made another guest appearance! Hell yeah, TC ftmfw
How much is an extra bolt for a backup?
I've always had a hard on for any HK, but I do love my Frankenstein 15
I've read that the HK416 "allows complete ambidextrous operation of the weapon". Can that be said about the MR556? I'm a lefty looking for my first AR, so this would be a huge selling point for me and would be more willing to spend the extra cash for.
Michael Phillips check out POF P415. Fully ambidextrous AR platform.
LOL @the cats!! Mine do the same thing,, good review this is also my favorite rifle
Lots of the info I have been curious about. Thanks for sharing. I think I want one, but am considering also the LWRC M6A2 or the SIG 516.
The sig isn't on the same level as the HK or LWRC. I would get the LWRC and set it up as a fighting rifle. Dot, or a 1-4 variable power, with a light, and possibly a can. That's a door kicking light weight piston rifle. The HK is a perfect special purpose rifle or 5.56 DMR. It's heavier and will do nicely with a 1-6x or 1-8x variable power scope with 77gr Black hills ammo. You can shoot them both quickly and run them both hard. If you're all about doing 10 mag dumps when you shoot, the LWRC will serve you better. The HK can take the abuse, but not extreme abuse if that makes sense. Not environmental abuse, I'm talking putting it on a full auto lower to be clear.
DevilDolphin yeah, but it’s an HK. “Second Cool “ if you know what I mean. If I am not mistaken, the designer of the 416 actually defected to SIG and was involved in the 516 project. Maybe I should just get one of each. LOL.
Honestly if you get all of them, or an HK and sig. Let me know how you like them. You'll also be able to see the quality differences. I'm not saying the Sig is a bad rifle by the way. They run just fine from what I've seen. The HK is unreal. I'm picking up some adjustable gas block LWRC's for my wife and I for dedicated suppressed rifles. I'll compare them to the MR556 when I get them.
DevilDolphin I wish I could afford all of them! I really have my eye on the LWRC. It’s a used gun in Olive Drab with an Eotech. I wasn’t really looking for another rifle and especially not a piston gun, but I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s old enough that it doesn’t have the twisted fluted barrel, but it does have the one piece bolt carrier. 2k for the package deal.
"Joe Bob's rifle is better"! Lol LMFAO!! You killed me with that. That was a good laugh!
How is the weight on this? I've found a used one for 1400 on armslist but i have a very bad back that was injured in a car accident so i tend to like lighter rifles.
If you like lighter rifles and don't want to possibly set it up as an SPR (high power glass and bi pod)....then I'd pass. But $1400 is a solid deal if it's 100% HK. That's about the price for the upper.
KEYBOARD COMMANDOS GO AWAY....LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
what's the going price for these right now? and would it be possible to buy the chrome lined HK barrels?
I just bought one for $3099 from RSR and they threw in a free VP9.
I love my MR556A1 there a little heavy and cost alot but I have to say you get what you pay for one of the best Ar platform rifles you can get. #nocompromise
And here comes me, the guy commenting that a LWRC is head and shoulders ahead of a overpriced, overbuilt, HK that can't even accept gen 3 pmags. Plus LWRC has way more options and variants. And cost quite a bit less.
David Lewis this rifle is full of compromises lol
@@mknight5159 My MR556A1 takes gen 3 pmags but wont take gen 2
Does this come with an armorer?
i love the HK MR556 but it just so damn expensive 😯
What about using a ranger band or two to lash that little tool to the offside of the stock so you don't have to keep it in the hidden compartment and wear out that tab assembly from regular twisting on and off?
That might be the ticket, I'll give it a shot, I've ordered a few spares for good measure. I'll see if one will fit in the buttstock.
You could get the HK V7 grip, it has a storage compartment and could hold the take down tool.
+EN2HAMMSTER will it fit in the grip is the question, yah take down tool 👀s pretty big.
Yes it will I tried it
great vid thanks for the info.
Hey new to the rifle scene, would you recommend this or the Sig 516?
@RedDragonCollectables This if its not breaking the bank. The 516 is an excellent gun, I would just personally rather this.
My MR556 is an outstanding weapon. Shoots any ammo very very well. It's just stupid accurate. With 77 gr mK262 ammo it truly stands apart from pretty much all of my other ARs. This 16.5" barrel is accurate WAY OUT there. The Geissele trigger is an amazing upgrade. I put the black Geissele 14.5" rail on mine. LOVE IT!
I'm with you J. It is a rock solid, reliable and extremely accurate rifle.
Outstanding video review. Thanks for posting. 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed the cats lol. Great review!
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I am conflicted between Barrett Rec7 Gen2, HK MR 556A1, and LWRC. Thanks for the review.
meyerfire21 Go with the HK. You need to see it in person and handle it. That will make the decision for you.
I love mine I went with the competition HK rail. Yes she is heavy and I may try the Geissele rail, no way I will ever part with the rifle though. Love the cats.
I saw and held one yesterday. How about the heaviness of the rifle? Disadvantage?
I mean the way I’ve seen it is heavier just means less recoil. AR’s don’t really have much recoil to begin with so I’d think just even less. My personal preference is the least amount of polymer I can get. I personally like the weight.
love my Daniel Defense... This one gives me something to think about!!
Daniel Defense is a very solid rifle company. I'm considering using their uppers for my DI builds, and the DD5V1 is on my radar as well. This rifle though, is definitely something special. Super smooth and easy to keep flat, even with the A2 on the front. I can't imagine it with a brake. Which I'll probably not do, because this one is flat shooting, and doesn't disrespect its surroundings
really good info, thanks
love my MR556A1 didn't like the key mod rail I got the original rails. it's a little expensive but worth every penny. No Compromise!
You could actually use a 556/223 bullet to push in the detention in the take down pin instead of using the tool
Did no know that. Thanks for the input, I might give it a shot, and I'll mention it in the review coming up. Thanks again.
Your cats made your video lol. Thanks for the review
Ha Ha Ha love the Kat , I have to agree with everything and I mean everything you said in this vid Love my MR556A1 and have had it for a couple of years now and I 'am embarrased to say I thought mine was a 1in 9 twist. Anyway my only comment about it would be the sling attachments and the weight...... but I can live with both.
Well the 1/7 twist is a better way to go, so you must be happy about that. I have a 1/9 and they love the 55 and 62gr, but that's about it.
cool. i just built a 762 and went with the melonite barrel even though it was cheaper. Comforting to a premium manufacturer like is using the sam material, although in sure it way better quality lol
All I'm hearing is it is a superior process to Chrome lined barrels, so I'm happy with it for sure.
Can you count rounds in combat.
Where did you get your sling? Make/Model?
It is a blueforce gear vickers padded sling.
could it be a melonite barrel? from the info ive looked at melonite is the new way to go. its harder and just as accurate
It is indeed. I plan on covering that in-depth in the review coming up here soon. Thanks for highlighting that as a reminder, I'm taking notes as I type this response for the review. Perfect timing.
How's it balance as you have it equipped? I Joebobbed up an SPR with an 18" DD heavy profile barrel and that thing is a pig with the optic, rail, and bipod... but I love it. I CAN shoot it unsupported, but it sucks and my groups are a joke... not that I have the cash to blow on anything that has Hk stamped on it right now, but I'm wondering if this might be a better idea in the future. Two inches of extra barrel isn't doing all that much for me velocity wise and that's the only real justification I have to stand on for the 18" barrel over 16".
So that's my life story, hope you liked it.
Well she is very balanced as I have her equipped, but still quite heavy. Especially with the stainless HK mag. I will say, so far the MR556 is my favorite AR to shoot because it's heavy, it stays flat. The recoil impulse is perfect too. I like how heavy it is supported, but I might hate it after a 12 hour shift if I had to carry it, or something like that. Until I started pressing the trigger on threats that is.
That SPR sounds like an amazing gun. I love heavy profile barrels, and I'm also looking to get into an 18" setup. Do you have a video on it on youtube? I'd love to see your setup and take notes possibly. It's a project down the line for me, but still one I'm looking to get. I'm shooting for an updated MK12 SPR.
+DevilDolphin Sadly, I do not. It's a shooter though... I the recoil impulse is really unique and I love it. It's very soft and straight back into the shoulder. I'd call it "sharp" but very mild, if that makes sense- like the impulse seems to begin and end faster than any other AR pattern rifle I've fired. I live in Suburbia Hell, Illinois, so I don't take it out much. Buuuut, I'm moving to Utah at the end of the month, so I'll be able to stretch my legs out a bit and see what it can really do. As far as relevant parts, front to back-
Battlecomp 1.0
DD SPR barrel, midlength gas
BCM upper
Spike's lower with enhanced NiB LPK
LMT enhanced carrier w/ milspec bolt
A2 stock and rifle buffer w/ Sprinco Green spring, but sometimes it goes on a lower with a VLTOR A5, A5H4 and Sprinco green spring.
Thanks man I'll give those parts a look. Having moved to Texas from NY I can tell you freedom is awesome. Stuff they'd sweat in NY, isn't even a thing here. Being able to shoot long distance is also very nice.
Just threw up a few videos for ya, they're real dry, so hopefully it's not too painful... First try at UA-caming, so hopefully it gets better with time haha.
I'll check them out man, thanks.
This and my SCAR 17 are guns I will never sell - love them both. My only beef is it's also the heaviest AR you will find, but it's built for the end of the world.
I'm about to have the same collection!
"Firearms Renaissance" 😂
Still attempting to talk myself into buying one of these. I don't currently own anything from HK.
Is this a sleeper Dmr setup? I mean expensive yes, but all the top tier rifles are expensive.
It's a cool rifle, I wanna love it. But I just can't get over the price for what you're getting feature-wise. I know I'll never own one.
Bro I love my mr556 its just quality that's also never loses value right now they're going for 4000 on gunbroker. I bought my for 2500 seems like a great investment.
My local gun store has a HK MR762A1... for 4200. I want jt
@@patricktejas4938 I wouldn't pay the mark up man wait until it goes back down to 2500 3000 they will go back down

Devil-What optics are you running on this setup?
Presently its got a Vortex Viper 1-4 in an american defense mount. But I plan on getting a 77gr Trijicon VCOG on it eventually. I plan on feeling this gun a steady diet of 77gr black hills and 77gr IMI with that glass to see what work I can get done with it. It is a remarkably accurate rifle.
Thank you Devil.
dat barrel be thicc
I don't have a MR556, but of the (3) ARs I have, none have chrome lined barrels. 1/7 twist is the way to go.
1/7 is solid, I'd go as far off as 1/8 in an 18" SPR build because it seems to be the voodoo setup if you listen to people tell it. I am definitely a fan of the 1/7 twist though. I also think the process in the barrel is superior to chrome lining, but you can't say such things on the internet I guess.
My only thing is It does not come with a picatinny rail. Idk about anyone else but I like my full rail and just personal preference the other is the price as well as the non chrome line barrel. Just me though.
Having such an expensive AR, are you concerned about having spare parts in case something breaks?
it's H&K... You won't need them
I considered buying the HK 556. A friend of mine at my office brought in his hk 556 for me to check out when he found out that I was considering it. I liked the HK very much. However, I did not buy the HK and instead bought an LMT CQB DI with the monolithic one piece upper for about $1600.00.
There were three reasons why I did not go with the HK. First, price. At the time the HK was selling for about $3200.00. The second was the weight. The HK is noticeably a lot heavier than the avergae ar. Third the piston system. Every manufacturer is doing something different with their piston systems. Unlike the DI.
I would not discourage anyone from an HK556, it is a super fine rifle and very well made just like their pistols which I own several of. I make a very good salary and could afford the HK556, but I could not justify the pice tag to myself.
Having handled but not fired one, and being immediately handed a lightweight AR right afterwards, I can honestly say the MR556 seems built for fighting - it's like the AK of the AR-15 world. I won't fail you, and you can probably use it as a hammer, shovel, and can opener without problems. If that's what you need, then I feel the price is worth it (under the: "How much is your life worth?" question). If youfeel something else gives you a better ROI, and just plain works better for you, go for it.
Personally, I'd probably do just fine, where I'm currently at, with an M1 Carbine and plenty of ammo, if I had it, just to demonstrate needs/requirements disparity. I don't need hyper precision out to 1,000 meters, or a tank-gun. I need light, carryable, 300 meters max range is fine, and "hit man-sized target, but probably wildlife instead" at that range. Only complaint is finding ammo.. any ammo, really, these days.
@@calanon534 Thanks for input Cal. I am probably a lot older than you and have seen ammo shortages in the past, and I learned my lesson. I set a goal of how much ammo I wanted to store for each caliber of firearm that I own and started to stock up over the years. I have a stack of ammo that is 4 ft high, 6 ft wide, and 4 ft deep of 1000 round boxes of 5.56, 9mm, 45ACP, 00 buck, 38spcl, and 22LR. When I bought my 5.56 I paid $290.00 a box (PPU), $165.00 a box for 115g Speer ball ammo, and $265.00 a box for Sellier Bellot 45ACP ball. I do not even know how much that stuff is going for now.
When this Covid shortage is over, start buying and stock up. You'll be glad you did in the future when the next shortage hits and you are sitting on a pyramid of ammo that you bought cheap.
@@doobiedoo7623 You might be older, but liekly not old enoguh to be my father, for example.
I have heard similar advice from others in the past, and have tried my best to acquire within my means, a stockpile for my limited arsenal. I'm at the "I have enough to get THEIR guns" stage, not in the "I feel safe with this amount" stage. This being a huge change from three years ago, when I was "Nogunsatall" by virtue of having grown up in C(r)ook(ed) County to a family with zero interest in them, and then moving to California for 16 years.
COVID will only be over when the people of the world say "ENOUGH" and do it in a manner that our elected and unelected overlords, as they see themelves, listen.
@@calanon534 I too had no interest at first in firearms and grew up in Ca where I still live. I became interested when I became an LEO and started to collect them. I have turned on some of my friends and family members into firearms and have taken them to the range to shoot a firearm for the 1st time. They all became fans instantly and bought their own right away.
Keep stocking up until you are satisfied. I would not buy ammo now, its way too expensive. Be patient and wait, the prices will come down. Then start stocking up again until you reach your goal. I did not. My goal on 5.56 ammo was 20 boxes of 1000 rounds, and I fell a little short.
Don't even get me started on Covid, its all about control. I see our overlords playing the Covid control game at least till the mid-term elections, specially here in Ca.
@@doobiedoo7623 Well, they forced Gruesome back on you, didn't they? :)
I'm so glad to be out of there. CA is a beautiful state, ruled by ugly people.
Hello DevilDolphin,
I have saved up quite a bit of money in the last couple of months to buy my first rifle and I really don't want to regret my choice, that's why I'm looking for some recommendations. It would be very nice if you could give me some advice on what to get.
I'm looking for an AR15 chambered in .223 / 5.56 that is as reliable as it gets. It shouldn't jam even under adverse conditions and it shouldn't need a lot of cleaning. It should also be durable enough that I could use it for the rest of my life.
Furthermore the rifle should be accurate, well manufactured (with low tolerances) and compatible with a lot of other equipment such as magazines from many different manufacturers. Another important aspect for me is that the gun doesn't weigh too much so that it can be used for long periods of time.
I'm living in Germany and I may not be able to get every gun that is available in the USA.
However I have taken 4 guns into perspective that I can get my hands on and that all seem to come close to what I'm looking for. These 4 guns are:
- MR556A3 (MR223A3 in Germany)
- SIG516 Patrol
- CR223
- PAR Mk3
Which one of these 4 rifles would you recommend to me? Or do you know one that might suit my needs even better?
I'm glad that you read until this point and I'm looking forward to your reply!
- Ilyas
I'm in Italy and I think my first AR will be the MR223A3. The first models are not compatible with some magazines, however magpul upgraded their line to make them compatible with the HK. I don't know the prices in Germany but here a basic non chinese AR costs 1200€, so I'd rather spend on a quality rifle than having something that I'm not satisfied with. I've seen the MR223A3 in a gun shop and it's amazing, german things are always the best!
I agree on your point that quality goes over quantity, that's why I saved up a lot of money in the last couple of months. I want to be satisfied with what I get and not regret my choice.
Here in Germany the MR223A3 costs about 2700€, maybe somebody could get it for about 2500€ if this person finds the right dealer. However that's still a lot more expensive than most other AR15s and to me it seems like there isn't a big difference between the MR223A3 and similar rifles like the SIG516 Patrol. An arms dealer told me that the biggest difference is the manufacturing quality, however he hasn't gone into detail. I think that I'll keep researching and try to find out more about these differences.
The SIG is a great rifle too! Prices are the same here, so the difference between them is about 600 euros. I personally love the FDE color and it seems like the SIG doesn't offer it unlike H&K. I'm still dubious too so few days ago I've bought an AK103, totally different from an AR but I love its ruggedness, its simplicity and the recoil!
Ohne Frage das MR223A3!
It's amazing that ton's of people will also try to tell you that the SCAR isn't worth the price which is an amazing gun. People do the same with the HK MR556. I'll be picking one up within the next couple days. It will round out my collection really well.
The keyboard warriors always seem to complain about the rifles they can never afford to buy. Ask ten people that hate on the MR556 if they have ever owned or fired one and nine of them will say no, they be too broke. Anything above $2000 seems to be the cut off.
Anything above 1000 is really the cut off in reality, if that. It's really hard to beat a mr556 and it's pretty cool.
LOL yeah, maybe because over 2000 dollars is ridiculous for an AR. Just the damn butt pad for the stock is $66.
It depends on what you want it for. If you want a gun to fiddle around with at the range just to show off to your friends and poke some paper at 100 yards max from a nice bench, then there's no reason to spend more than $1000. If you want something that you can drag through the dirt in Afghanistan and still have it function flawlessly when people try to kill you, then you are going to spend at LEAST $2000. It's all relative according to your standards.
I shouldn't have come off saying it's completely ridiculous. If someone want's to spend that much then so be it, I've done worse. It;'s the fact that people keep trying to justify the price claiming things like tactical advantages and what not. Just admit you got the gun because it's bad-ass. The military found the full size m16 to be more reliable for a fraction of the price, but the m4 to be less reliable. My beef is more with HK and the fact that they overcharge for everything and add features like the pins just to add to the price. You can fix receiver slop with an o-ring over the front pin. Luckily they've changed things like this on the newer models.
Whats the approximate barrel life round count??
Well over 10k. There are competition shooters on HKpro who have pushed it over 25k with proper maintenance.
@@navyman8903 i have heard after 10k rounds people can get some key holing… not good for a 10.4 suppressed build lol
they couldve just did what lwrc did and used a set screw in the pistol grip to tighten any slop (not that i have any whatsoever in my newest 2 lwrc's).
I love the pistols and liked my MR..but my DD V11 PRO is #1 with my KAC #2 then the MR which I soldfor the SR15. The weight and the take down tool plus mags were just too much ..
It is a heavy rifle for sure, and I've fired a Knights SR-15 with a surefire brake. She was a laser beam. Knights SR-15's are king DI in my opinion. I'm also going to get into some Daniels eventually, but I've gotta knock out the huge purchases first, then get down to the less expensive stuff on my gun list. I'd say you've got 2 of the best DI offerings out there.
I guess piston guns are not for me, I I dunno. ? KAC are my local boys so I like to support the Florida crews. I shot 500 rds out of my king of combat pistols, HK45 :) and the slide was going into battery when I slammed a new mag in..my P30l does this as well ..is this normal ? I actually like it as it is one less move to get back in the fight, no slingshoting the slide or dropping the slide release..
Lol earned a sub
if i could sell all my ar's i wouldnt hesitate to buy an mr556. definitely not going to get my money back from selling them. wish i could do it over but oh well.
ive been trying to sell my dpms recon 308 for over a year and no luck. that geisselle rail looks damn good on your mr556
You might now. Big run on guns.
Worst thing is this gun costs so much he Can’t afford a table.
maybe a little lithium grease on that rubber piece thats rubbing. may extend the life
So pof 415 edge instead?
lol no cancer over that
@приклад отверстие lmfao
I know the European model MR223 A3 are cromed line barrel for example
You have a totally different rail than ours came with stock. I don't need chrome because I'm not firing full auto for extended periods. I'd rather take an extra few seconds to takedown in exchange for precision. Clear polymer HK mags are available direct from HK for $30 or less.
I agree, you can run it quickly all day. Shot strings, and even mag dumps if you want. But it's just not designed for full auto, which makes people butt hurt I guess. Like they'll ever be going full auto in the first place. Most dudes down range and badasses I know told me they seldom flip the switch over to auto. On sub guns all day long, but the rifles they usually use semi.

The >>> switch is basically the $$$ switch. Most web haters are armchair commandos. Same crap in the motorcycle world. People brag about this bike or that being the best, but they couldn't even squeeze out 10% of the machine's performance on the street if they wanted to. The only way to beat HK reliability and precision is to go custom. Makes me laugh when people argue custom builds are better than HK. Duh, pretty much any professional custom job is going to be superior to a mass-produced item.
I would take a lot of other rifles with the same level of confidence as that but cheaper. LWRC Sig VIRTUS ect
Most compromised rifle on the market, still love HK
H&k rifles are some of the best of the best out there i want the mr762 the only thing that keeps me from buying one or a knights armament is they are both proprietary so parts my be hard to find with that said for the everyday man that loves to get out and shoot or take class's you wouldnt wear anything out that would need parts
The keymod holes are backwards.
Great guns, let’s be real though. Way overpriced for what they are. Lots of other rifles that look the same and will do the same thing. Also, I wouldn’t change a thing if I owned the rifle and paid $3000 for it. Bottom line is, if your an HK fan and have the coin it’s worth the money. If not, build you out a $1500 AR15 and you’re gonna get equal or even better quality. All that being said, I bought a MR556 today for personal use cause #Merica
The THICCEST barrel
you ever going to do a review?
Yes, I'm almost at 1,000 rounds. My schedule sucks and I just PCS'ed to a new duty station, so I have to find a new range that I can film at. Also hopefully run it how I like to. But there will be one coming up. I just got internet in my house yesterday too. I was going to start filming this weekend, but I caught the crud going around, my voice is shot and I can't stop blowing my nose. So hopefully next weekend I can start up for a bit.
cool I just bought one and need to feel vindicated for spending all that money on a 10 pound ar
thoughts on the 762?
I haven't fired mine yet. Which is eating at me. I'm having trouble finding a range that will let me run it, and the out door ranges are slow fire from a bench only. We'll see here soon.
build your own hk 416 upper and put it on mr556 lower
athausand dollahs NRA prohibits the smaller size of the actual HK416 barrel.
@@devynlogan7489 you can build it as a "pistol". Its the NFA that puts out these dumb laws and restrictions btw.
Does the mr556 not come with a quad rail?
IT used to. The newer MR556's come with the rail I removed.
Can you plz tell me what Rail that is?
Halo Herz geissele smr

Chrome lined barrels just hide factory imperfections.
Butt pad is easy to solve just bend the top to clear the catch
Disadvantages. Price.
