I read earlier this week HK is not getting any more MR556A1 and heard today the same. Seems HK will be importing the A3 sometime Q1 2017. Anyone else heard the same rumor?
I really don't see that as a positive.You also have more play between upper and lower to ensure maximum compatability with third party uppers/lowers.
Except for the Kiwis.Nobody with the budget seems to walk past the HK for direct impingement.
The problem is, if the MR556 came in 14.5, it would need to have a permanently attached muzzle device. to make an OAL of at least 16"By that logic, why not a 14.5?
The guns it's competing against are hitting accuracy nodes typically from 2700-2800fps with heavy bullets.
My MR556 is throwing Hornady 75's at 2646.
The course of fire routinely demands shots on head sized targets out to 700Y, and every advantage on beating the wind is welcome. If they offered a 20" I'd take that.
The gun is definitely a shooter. This was at 200Y. The squares are 1".

I'm competing with it this Sunday because my regular rifle is down for the count.
You mean problems legally with the importation? Could you explain further?I wouldn't think that a "pistol" version of the MR223 would cause problems, but then again, maybe.
Why is importation still a topic of debate? HK won't import the 223A3 14.5" or 11" or 415A5 for that matter (iMHO).
It's not our decision but theirs and I'm sure they have their reasons.
If you would personally like a say in the company then buy it or go become one of their executives, just please stop this constant whine about getting our personal wish lists imported.
If we get the 223/556A3 they won't be imports but domestic production (IMHO and experience). The bit€h1ng isn't gonna make a damn bit of difference, but it will annoy the crap out of everyone including those at HK that you wish to influence.
Sorry for the mini rant, but the BS is getting too deep and the wreak too strong for me on this subject. If it's not the MP5 or the 223A3 it will eventually be the 433 as it will always be something. So save the wasted energy. HK is like any other corporation, they do what THEY think is best for them and their bottom line.
I'm not going to pretend that I have any idea of their plans, nor do I care. My life doesn't center around having my favorite firearms always available to me. I make do with what life presents, like lemonade out of lemons.
I like this place, A LOT. But the din of this whine is becoming overwhelming to the point of morphing into a cacophony.
Perhaps we need a cheese section to go with all these whines;-)
I'm going back to my scotch now (queue dropped microphone).

With Hilary they'll be banned because they look evil, with Trump you'll either see them banned because they're foreign or held back here in Europe because we'll need them ourselves when his bestie Putin comes rolling around.
