HK MR556/MR762 info

[MikeCLeonard]

For those of you who may know, or who already have an MR223...does the Hk lower have a high or low shelf?

Wondering if I will be able to use an RDIAS in the future.

Thanks!

it may sound like a dumb question to a few of you guys here but is there a significant difference between the two operating systems? i am ready to make a purchase on either one but im just looking for a push either way

One of them was designed by professionals.

so the answer is ....you don't know???

To put it simpler:

One was designed to solve real world problems as co-operation of best military weapons maker with best military weapon users. And this design is spreading worldwide like fire in dry forest - even for those who never used AR-style weaponry before.

Second was designed to hop-up on "piston-AR" bandwagon on US market. Nobody is actually using this design in real world.

There are companies that set industry standards and new technical trends, and those who thinks like "everybody makes 1911 - lets make one, everybody makes AR, lets make AR-looking rifle... ooops doesn't work, then lets make piston AR"

What is better is matter of personal preference, budget, etc.

I Know the HK416 does not come with iron sights and they must be purchased separately, but has anyone heard if the MR556 will come with, or with out sights? I am REALLY hoping it will come with sights with a MSRP of $2995!

[armakraut]

SteyrAUG has a group buy going on for $2,500.

I'll wait for a reality-based barrel profile.

The HK416/MR556 only has one operating system.

Just a heads up, HK is now saying they MR556 will be released Aug-Sept time frame, not June....
