The price, duke! The price!
I can live without it.
$4100 canadian is what about $3900 american give or take! Still a bit spendy for my blood. HK does make some fantastic stuff!
If they try and sell that POS here in the U.S they may as well roll it into a pipe and smoke it. The price is ridiculous as well.
Beat me to it. We don’t want the MR223. We want a HK416.
Ew…keep it away. Poke it with a stick…
Agreed, that gun would be terrible for the U.S. market (since we don’t have the silly laws).
The funny thing is, we will probably get a correct semi 416 BECAUSE of the 1989 ban. HK Germany has to deal with stupid German laws. Wilcox isn’t going to be bound by Euro nonsense.
hk …wilcox …usuckandwehateyoucorp … hurry the hell up.
ill pass
With that kind of pricing, HK knows that Canada hasn’t been hit hard by subprime.
I’ll have to agree with everyone else, it isn’t that much better than the SCAR and not worth that much $
For the price I’d buy a XCR before the HK even though I have a 91 and a few 93s
for damn near $ 4,000.00 i’d rather buy a scar or a masada and some more ammo and accessories.
$4K, a limited run of MP7s, maybe.
A piston driven AR, NOPE.
SIG 550s, Type 95s, and Tavors are for sale in Canada
Can’t say the same about the US.
We don’t have it as good as some people think.
Cool!
the MR in those pics is for italian market (CAT.17440)
Though they may be available in Canada and not here because of the ridiculous '89 ban I am fairly certain that Canadian gun owners are not better off then we are and unless I am misinformed there is no guarantee in Canada that they couldn’t actual lose their weapons, because there is no constitutional guarantee. As a matter of fact even in the ridiculous U.S states they probably jump through less hoops than a Canadian gun owner.
Canadians- If I am wrong about this please elaborate a little further on your gun laws for us Southerners
I feared this would happen: that the MR223 would turn out to be HK’s interpretation of the promised semi-416. Sadly, the MR isn’t nearly as interesting a rifle at half the price, and I can only hope that HK USA is aware of this. The Wilcox connection MAY save us in that regard, but I’m still wary of the pricetag.
This much I do know: if HK tries to market the MR223 (as configured) via Wilcox in the USA, it will generate very little interest in general, and at nearly $4k, absolutely none from the serious hard-use crowd.
They haven’t missed the boat yet, but there are strange ripples on the water …

I agree that real users might skip it, but I bet there’s still a good market amongst run of the mill HK fanboys - they’ll buy it, put 100 rounds down range, take some pics of themselves with it and a shitload of multicam coolness to post here and other places, then put it away.
I remember in the 90s when HK was marketing that grey plastic civilian version of the G36… Some guys went to great lengths to adapt them to fit AR mags, paint them black, etc. I think a lot of stuff with HK is like in Field of Dreams… “If you build it, they will come”…
And they cannot own mags that hold more than 5 or 10 rounds for those guns.
And they cannot keep those guns loaded in their homes for self defense.
And they are very limited in situations in which they can use their guns in self defense (which first involves unlocking the gun and the ammo from their respective boxes).
After the Heller Decision, people in Washington DC now have an easier time owning an effective weapon for home defense and keepng it loaded and ready than many so called gun paradise countries.
I never said Canada was better than the US overall.
