A really good demonstration on stripping of the 417, for cleaning and the same applies to the 416, 5,56 model. One of the better ones I have seen. Thanks for the demonstration.
I've never seen another rifle that has such massive and rugged looking parts as that HK does. That thing is built like a battleship ! It's a Beast of a rifle ! Thanks for this video.
Thanks, good video. It's simpler than I thought. Just like a "normal" AR15 with a few improvements. The gas piston is simple, too, hardly adds any complexity at all, really.
Boss Guido Thank you so much for all the info. I really appreciate when people with experience chime in. I am still fairly new to shooting so I try to soak in as much info as possible, provided that it makes sense (and yours does). Your comments are not offensive and are more than welcome. Thank you again for responding and for watching my vids. And thank you for your service.
Picked mine couple weeks ago...got to shoot it couple times since. And I've love it ever since great accuracy...and handling...head turner for sure at the range. I'll be picking up its little brother the MR556 next week.
What bullet bottom are you using mine has a weirdo one and it is sort of a pita. Where are you located as well I am in the ontario area. Btw how you like that Leopold scope. I'm thinking on getting the mark VI.
TheSpaniard91100 The bullet button was already on the rifle when we got it. Not sure what kind it is. I am in Los Angeles, California. The Leupold scopes are great. I like them, but I will also be looking at Vortex scopes.
I live in California too..... I hate bullet buttons! But I'm glad I saw this video because I can't wait purchase this beautiful weapon! .... in maybe a year, because it's so expensive.
Hey man, I live in California, and I have the choice between a Lewis Machine and Tool, M1A, mr762, or Larue Predatobr. Which you would you choose knowing what you know?
Hi, great video and great looking weapon, curious though, I find it strange HK don't put all the tools in the rifle to fully strip it? that tool in the stock, has the small end for the pins but it looks like the other end of the 'L' end is a hex key, have you tried that in the handguard bolts? I mean no disrespect
I know this is an old video but I’m wondering why you say not to lubricate the gas piston on gas cylinder? It says in the operators manual that these parts must be lubricated.
Hi there cool video, I have a little question, have you ever removed the bolt catch/release from this rifle? I'm having a hard time removing the clamping sleeve for it and i'm afraid to cause damage, any tips?
I have never removed the bolt catch/release lever. I assume the clamping sleeve is the pin that holds it in place? There are special punches for those bolt catch/release pins for ARs. I personally never used one, but it appears they make it easier. www.brownells.com/aspx/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=26484
Just a note Magpul's bad levers do not work well with Sigs and Hk's that's if you're doing that. If not I don't see why you would need to remove that. And yes like Moisn said a good metal punch set is all you need but their not any different that any punch set so a hardware store is fine. There are no such things as gun punches lol.
I usually wipe down the piston rod, and lightly oil the area with the spring. The closer to the gas piston the drier it should be. A simple wipe down with a dry rag will do, but consult your manual to be sure.
Are the diameters of the takedown and pivot pins the same as on an LR-308 or AR-10? Also, would standard LR-308 charging handles work with this? Thanks
Btw some little tips for the MR 556 and 762. Dump the butt stock its crap the friction fit wears out with use. I would get a Magpul stock. And for those who don't want the stupid disassemble tool pins you can switch em out to std pins. Hk just did em for accuracy so you won't have that springy push to the upper and lower but then you won't have to worry about the dumb tool. This gun breaks down like anyother AR just the bolt is a bit easier to clean. Tho Ive shot over 5K rounds thru my 762 and never cleaned it yet. Oh btw never ever put any sort of lube on any part of the piston or piston cup on any piston type gun. Just added advice some info from a 30yr collector/shooter my collection runs in the 400+ range. And I own just about every Hk rifle and pistol made and just about every major .308 rifle the MR762 is a great shooter like all Hk firearms fit and finish is the best in the industry. I'm FED LEO and also part owner of my family's gun shop with indoor range and many of my family either works or owns company's in the gun industry. So we know a bit about guns lol! ;) Stay safe everyone. No offense to the channel owner intended.
Thanks for the video. How do you clean your gas piston? Mine always seems to get some pretty tough carbon on the very end where it goes into the gas chamber. I think yours had some too, maybe I'm just being particular.
I usually use hoppe's elite bore gel, basically my choice of solvent, and cover the tip in it. Then I use a nylon brush or gently use a bronze bristle brush to get the carbon coat off. You shouldn't try to get it completely bright again, as you will likely start to get the coating off. The reason I use that solvent is that it doesn't have a lubricant in it. So when I wipe it off, the part is dry. You don't want to lube it because it will gunk up. After shooting the rifle more and more, the gas piston will get darker and darker, but that is not an issue. I don't think you have to worry about it, just get the crud off.
Elite Dark no problem. The elite bore gel also comes off really well from all the brushes I use by simply rinsing them under running water. Again probably due to lack of lubricants
Yes, but it is not the same rifle anymore (had to go featureless). We havent put more than 1000 rounds through it and it still looks brand new. I never gauged accuracy in terms of grouping but it hits whatever you point it at from 600 yards away (longest distance we got at the local range)
These are CA legal, so most dealers will have them. Usually they don't get too many because the rifles are pricey, but you should call your local gun stores and ask if they have one. Sometimes you will be able to get on a waiting list if your local gun shop has them on order.
MosinVirus Thanks MosinVirus for confirming there are CA legal version of MR762. I did not know that because this model is rarely seen at gun store. This is my dream AR10. I will contact local AR store and see what they can do to order. HK has a new LRP package of this MR762 on their site. That gun case is nice.
Jerry Yu The CA version simply has a bullet button and 10 round magazine. I don't think there are any other differences between the Non-CA and CA versions. LRPs have been around too. Not sure where you are located, but in Los Angeles I have seen them in a few stores I visit regularly.
MosinVirus Great info! Thanks. I am in San Francisco area. The dealer here are selling baby toy guns compare to LA area. Nice to know MR762 is available in CA. I was looking at LWRC REPR vs. HK 762. Finally, HK 762 wins my business. Great video.
Oh btw Mosin and sorry for commenting so much (I hardly come online got a cold so stuck in bed and bored) But don't' clean the gun so much. You know what wears out guns and barrels etc? Not shooting but cleaning. Ive shot near 10k out of my SCAR 16s, Ak's or other piston guns and never clean em. So unless you use corrosive ammo which is very rare. You really shouldn't clean it after ever use you will do more damage than good. Like I said our family owns a quite large gun shop and range etc. Even in my day job as a Fed Leo or in the military we never cleaned after every trip to the range tho when I was on deployment in the sandbox aka Iraq then yes but its because of the sand. You don't shoot in the desert do you? Then again if not don't clean it so much as like car brakes you have to allow the barrel etc to break in and by cleaning it so much you are not seasoning the gun so to speak or not letting it break in.

+Simon Normand Thank you for watching. Glad you liked the video.
This was so thorough and helpful. I feel much better about disassembling mine. Thank you for this.
My pleasure. I am glad I could help.
I've never seen another rifle that has such massive and rugged looking parts as that HK does.
That thing is built like a battleship !
It's a Beast of a rifle !
Thanks for this video.
my pleasure. And I completely agree. It is a nice and we'll built rifle.
Thanks, good video. It's simpler than I thought. Just like a "normal" AR15 with a few improvements. The gas piston is simple, too, hardly adds any complexity at all, really.
Agreed. Not too bad at all.

Thank you again for responding and for watching my vids. And thank you for your service.
Man thank you a bunch!!
Was trying put it pack together and almost hammered on the pins
Didn’t know about the tool in the buttstock
I am glad I could help.
Excellent, extremely helpful!
I am glad I could help.
Excellent and thorough review. Congrats on the beautiful and high quality HK rifle.
Javier Licourt Thank you very much
Thanks for this video, just bouth a MR308 (European version of MR762), it's my first rifle and and video like this really help for starting =)
Congratulations, it is a great gun. I am sure you will like it.
Picked mine couple weeks ago...got to shoot it couple times since. And I've love it ever since great accuracy...and handling...head turner for sure at the range. I'll be picking up its little brother the MR556 next week.
Thank you for watching. I know exactly what you mean, the rifle is absolutely great. We don't have the 556 but are considering it as well.
What bullet bottom are you using mine has a weirdo one and it is sort of a pita. Where are you located as well I am in the ontario area. Btw how you like that Leopold scope. I'm thinking on getting the mark VI.

It is a great rifle. You will love it even with a bullet button. Cool name by the way.
Hey man, I live in California, and I have the choice between a Lewis Machine and Tool, M1A, mr762, or Larue Predatobr. Which you would you choose knowing what you know?
Very helpful, thanks
My pleasure
Is this CA complaint version? trying to understand what makes this so special? considering all AR's are made the same way.
Never mind, just heard you say CA! its beautiful btw.

I mean no disrespect
Andrew Hollis I have not tried it but that is probably why it is there. I can't remember why I didn't use the HK tool for those screws.
MosinVirus would you try and let us know how it goes? it'll drive me mad not knowing 😁
Andrew Hollis sure. I will let you know later tonight. Making a new video right now.
Sorry, didn't get a chance to take a look last night. Will try to remember to do it tonight
You forgot something :D
I know this is an old video but I’m wondering why you say not to lubricate the gas piston on gas cylinder? It says in the operators manual that these parts must be lubricated.
Whst I meant is not to over lubricate it.
Nice rifle!!!
Thank you! I agree

Boss Guido indeed.
Hey MV,
I just bought the mr762a1. love it! Do you clean the piston rod? first time cleaning so i dont want to make any mistakes.
Thanks

Thanks
sorry, I am not sure standard pins would work. would have to see and I don't have the rifle in front of me at the moment.

Ok great, I had been using hoppes9 and lightly going over it with a bronze bristle brush then drying as well. Thanks. I'll try out the elite bore gel.
Elite Dark no problem. The elite bore gel also comes off really well from all the brushes I use by simply rinsing them under running water. Again probably due to lack of lubricants
Still have it? How’s it holding up? Round count? Accuracy? Lots of questions I know 😁
Yes, but it is not the same rifle anymore (had to go featureless). We havent put more than 1000 rounds through it and it still looks brand new. I never gauged accuracy in terms of grouping but it hits whatever you point it at from 600 yards away (longest distance we got at the local range)
MosinVirus thanks, I might have to get one in the future, love HK.
Hi， in California, which dealer can you buy HR MR762? I am looking to buy one. Thanks.
These are CA legal, so most dealers will have them. Usually they don't get too many because the rifles are pricey, but you should call your local gun stores and ask if they have one. Sometimes you will be able to get on a waiting list if your local gun shop has them on order.

Hhh my father I need your helps
What do you need help with? Maybe I can help.
❤🇩🇪👈👍👏
Thank you.
it would be nice if you explain how to reassemble you be more detail. Stop using terms proper place, show it. Not all of us mechanical inclined.
Thank you. I will keep that in mind for future.
