MR762A1 backplate for sling

[Chopstix Kid]

The backplate came standard on my 20 inch 2011 manufactured MR308. I could post photos in the mentioned thread IF I only could post photos! I don't know what is the problem but I am not able to do that.

Ahhhh, so it there's an option availble from HK. We only get the 16.5" MR762 and it does not have one. If you have time, can you check your operator's manual and see if there is a part number listed for that and PM it to me?

Thanks,
Joe

Manual shows unfortunately the older (similar to US model) parts only. Backplate doesn't have it's own part no. Closest there is: part 64 Gehäuseunterteil (Lower receiver) #235956. It seems it is sold assembled with a buffer tube as castle nut and backplate are not listed.

I think the tube is proprietary? I don't recall where I read/heard that?

Get a vickers sling & attach it to the rear of the stock?

Thanks for the link. I'm hoping there becomes more of the backplate option available. I keep forgetting to measure the OD of the extension to see if it follows the DPMS size. If so, it could be promising.

HK customer service emailed me with: Any standard mil spec back plate will work.

^^^this is true for the MR556. NOT the MR762. The backplate with ambidextrous sling attachments is part# 227383...same as 417. Much larger than mil spec or commercial buffer tube for M4, AR-15, etc. We should have some in stock in the next few days. No price available yet.

Thank you for the clarifcation. I will watch for the part in the webstore.
