ETA is 4 to 6 months depending on current political climate can change that.

I’ve waited to post. I’ve watched the YouTube videos from Mr. short shorts Reeves. I’m really glad HK has decided to put an ambidextrous update to their venerable MR line. Sure some people will say it’s late in the game and we don’t have this and we don’t have that and I don’t want to regurgitate anything that the above aforementioned members of this forum have already pointed out. Me myself I kinda get a little, feeling that I might be not hanging around the people I should be. I’ve never been to Germany or to Orndorf. I am not rich. I am poor one of the poor everybody keeps complaining about this form about not being able to a certain unit. I have a couple of HK items , but I am poor because I buy these items. Do I put Dijon mustard on my sandwich or am I the one who puts the regular yellow mustard and is fine with it? Spread your money around where you want and where it makes you feel good.

I'm curious if they will sell / eventually sell the 11" as an upper only similar to what they did with the original MR556.

Will it require a tool for disassembly like the A1 did?

The wild thing here is that if HK USA just simply decided to do chrome lining, the A4 release would've been the first time an American market HK product is actually superior to its European market counterparts.

MR556A4 has the newer 45 degree ambi safety and an adjustable gas block, both of which are lacking on the MR223A3 series.

In the video it seems to use normal takedown pins (thank goodness)

 

[StefanoMapo]

So... 4k rifle, heavy as **** (the 416 with the thin barrel is already heavy, why add other weight?) stupid thick barrel and not chrome lined or nitrate, no quick detachable handguard (still 1913 rail on on both side is so old style) the grip is different from v4 hk 416 a8... somebody can explain the 4k price tag?
how in the earth I choose this over a spear lt?

The barrel is made in germany I don't think HK USA has a say on that

that's been known for a while

Rear takedown lug will be the one currently used on MR223 and A5 version of the 416, with a little spring loaded detent reducing play between the upper and the lower.

 

[HKPRO]

Yes, there are certainly tools where 2MOA+ is acceptable.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Yuma Sept. 2003. I took this photo. I was a snot nosed employee of HK USA as the web services coordinator.

And I shot the snot out of that GMG.

As somebody who’s seen the Spear LT assembly line, I would not run that gun for work if somebody gave it to me. Just as none of the sig assemblers that I know do.

Agreed. I couldn't get rid of the spear fast enough. Extremely front heavy. Torx screws to hold in the barrel. I could shift the barrel over 1/2" in either direction with a minor push. Even after correcting the torx spec, which was wrong out of the factory by a considerable amount, I was turned off. Flushing toilet sounds

SIG’s quality control is crap. See elsewhere here for a gun fight where several MCX rifles sh!t the bed during a hostage rescue gunfight.

Took 7 years for the CC9 to get sorted out. The MR556 A4 is 15 years behind the A1. It my understanding that the MP7 only got seriously investigated within the last 2 years. Just saying, on the chance it occurs, expect a heck of a wait.

An out of torque spec barrel from the factory is absolutely hilarious and exactly what I’d expect.

 

[JoshNC]

If you don't think HK or HKUSA did extensive market research on features the general public wants, and if you think the lack of a CL barrel will tank the sales of this.....I gotta chuckle.

Not to mention the handguard will not hold zero on the spear L without an Arisaka Defense rail clamp and the Spear Heavy can’t be fixed at all. Typical ExeTurd behavior.
