B&T made 308 suppressor that connect directly to the HK 417 flash hider.

Thanks for the pics - all the pics, not just the HK ones. You do a fantastic job with these and are the BEST from the show! Since I can't go your pictures are as close as I get!

The 417/MR762 looks great. Hopefully they are reasonably priced and are available.

Spooky

The MR762 is pretty darn expensive, the retial price of the MR556 is approaching the high end of 2000.00, but you do get the HK quality. Although if you notice, the MR762 is a non-functional model, so I wonder what is the ETA of the release date.

Will these be able for purchase in a 14.5 with PA flash hider to make it civilian legal at 16''?

Also, how is that sloped HK stock? Is it wobble-less like the LMT SOPMOD stock?

[stage2]

I just like the name of the MR762. Like meet Mr. 762 he'll F your world up!!

i saw in the other thread tho that those pesky US import laws made it to where DD had to produce the barrels or something along those lines.

Current ETA (i.e., near-meaningless speculation) is 3Q11.

The barrels are forged and rifled by HK, then sent to DD for contouring and finishing.

Very nice Chen and thank you for the wonderful pics again!

The BT can has a KAC type lift gate yet a spring loaded lock. As well it has an AAC and SF type tooth timing lock - whicj is I guess to minimise POI shift while retaining the drop on ease of the lift gate.

it appears to be very easy on/off

That's a long time away... If I put away $10 a day from now til then I should have enough to buy one...

I just figured out where my piston money will go. A 416 upper the way it was intended with receiver pins in the proper place. MR556A1 here I come.

Those billboard warnings on the front of the mag well are (Jeremy Clarkson voice) hiiideeeous.

yep

[EzGoingKev]

Do they also secure the buffer tube into the lower with a set screw too?

[armakraut]

When they make this, I'll buy it.

[Lawdog-1]

SMGLee, Why does MR 5.56 have a different pistolgrip than HK416? Is the BCG different in MR 5.56???

[Razorhunter]

The only real downside I see to that MR556A1 is that it just looks awful with that TOO short rail and long 16" bbl.
A few questions for anyone in the know:

1. -Does anyone know if there will by chance be a "long rail" version available? Doubt it, but most definitely worth asking. ?

2. -How about a 14.5" version? Again, doubtful, but I'll ask anyway. ?

3. -Is it possible to simply chop the bbl down to 14.5" and be GTG, or would that present any gas port sizing issues?

I've had literally everyone I have ever known in my entire life sending email after email to Hk for almost a year now, asking them, hell, literally begging them to ditch the proprietary receiver pin configuration and just go with a standard pin configuration.
I'm quite honestly amazed that they actually did it. Perhaps they've finally grown tired of releasing sub par versions of all their excellently designed firearms all these years? Who knows. At least they have made the "A1" a reality.

Anyhow, any info would be appreciated, pertaining to my questions above guys.
