You Americans are so lucky to still live in a free country. In canada, the only semi that we are allowed to own now is SKS, and in another two months, that will be gone too. We can only look enviously to our southern border and watch videos on youtube of what used to be.
@texasranger24 I don't think we will ever see an armed rebellion in canada. We might have a large protest, though, complete with barbecues, hot tubs, and bouncy castles... And then the government will dismantle that, throw us in jail, and freeze all of our bank accounts. This is the canadian way.
The last gen mr556a1 was updated years ago to have the same light profile barrel. Realistically the only difference is the adjustable gas and ambi controls
You can actually buy the adjustable gas system on hkparts made by nefarious arms to update your a1. I bought one and they’re phenomenal. They are pricey though.
The barrel is what gets me. I know they have their reasons, like better accuracy or something, but I want longevity in a product like this and that kinda money for no barrel coating is insane. That’s an easy addition they could’ve made. And this is coming from someone with a bunch of HKs including a couple MK23s. It’s almost like someone just forgot to do the barrel coating and this is how they market it. They’ll have a new model out in a year with the barrel lining. Military can afford to replace barrels but most civilians cannot
@@jake45790unacceptable for the price. Lack of longevity aside it will rust when exposed to the elements. It is also susceptible to keyholing when copper fouled because of the tapered bored.
It is nice but a well gassed DI will do the same. I have a suppressed MK18 that runs just like it. Or something from SOLGW is almost guaranteed to run like that out of the box and still not overgassed with a Sandman. PWS or LMT piston uppers also exist at a much lower price and can be put on regular AR lower. Just some info.😉
Another little issue for me is the way it is neutered or can’t be converted to full auto. There’s a RUclips channel that is wanting to do a burn down, but apparently that’s not possible.
Does it over the beach yet? That was their main advertisement point of the 416 and 417 but the m.r. series hasn't had it yet. I remember the old advertisements where the guy would come out of muddy water hole and the colt upper blows up from water but the 416 pushes the water out of various points like the buffer tube.
People are going to make fun of him soooooo bad for that *British* dpm smock. I loved the dpm woodland one I bought from Sportsman's Guide. Super comfortable, tough and pocket capacity for days.
Don't know why anyone will cry about having one of these guns, I got an MP5 cause there is still no other weapon like it. But theres plenty of AR15s out there.
You can keep it and every other overpriced gun they make! The law of diminishing returns really starts kicking your ass at $1,200 to $1,500. Whether it’s a pistol or a rifle, this is where I draw the line for a service weapon. Competition guns are a different matter but you can only buy just so much performance and this ain’t no competition rifle!
Another problem is also according to an HK USA rep talking about this rifle is that it is manufactured to be impossible to make full auto without metal work on the upper do to forced standards by Germany that HK forces HK USA to follow. If the NFA goes away this thing won’t be able to be upgraded easy. I’d much rather have a BG Defense piston AR, or a LWRCI piston AR.
I had an h&k pistol. It was mechanically sound but the sights were way off. I tried reaching out to h&k to see what they could do to rectify the situation. I never heard anything back from them. I vowed I would never buy an h&k product again
Another HYPED-UP OVERPRICED NAME BRAND gun that literally isn't any better than a low-budget milspec build. As long as idiots keep buying them, the prices will remain ASTRONOMICAL for a marginally better rifle. 99% of people can't shoot as good as a sloppy, worn out GI gun will allow them to, yet claim some glorious high dollar rifle is superior. 🤦♂️
why does it have a forward assist? why does any modern ar-15 platform? i thought we were past this nonsense by now in 2024, the meme has gone on for far over long enough
In 100 years there will be a Forgotten Weapons on the different AR-15 variants and it will literally be forever.
Actually it's a baby of AR15 and G36
Yep. Too many of them and hyper-generic. No matter who makes them
@@venkmanny4100 and the g36 is derived from the ar18
Well gun Jesus doesn't have any kids so someone will have to take over his channel.

It won't be gone if you don't surrender it
Not luck. Force.
You need to adopt some AMERICAN rebellion big dawg! We ain't having that shit down here in Texas!
"The right time for an armed rebellion is... when you are armed."
Take this piece of historic analysis and do with it whatever you may.

sweet thank you for covering this one. I like the HK416, bought their stock some time ago in plastic for airsoft.

You'll never shoot out a nitrided barrel lol
@LegionArmament this!
@@LegionArmamentit’s not nitrided it’s bare phosphated steel bud
@@Bulking_Smeagolthe inside isn’t even phosphated. Only the outside. The inside is bare ass raw ass steel. Like a stainless steel barrel.
@@jake45790unacceptable for the price. Lack of longevity aside it will rust when exposed to the elements. It is also susceptible to keyholing when copper fouled because of the tapered bored.
So distinctive 😂 never seen anything like it
God bless you as always
The rifle is like most trucks on the road, pretty decent, but basic asf and overpriced... Wait til it rust from the inside out!
I just saw the shooting portion and wow, what a smooth and FLAT shooting rifle
It is nice but a well gassed DI will do the same. I have a suppressed MK18 that runs just like it.

Dear God... it's beautiful.

It's expensive BUT on par with similar government contract rifles such as FN SCAR, LMT "Reference" rifles, and Knight's Armament.
I’d like to see the video on the 11inch variant and that new aimpoint shown on this video
Does it over the beach yet? That was their main advertisement point of the 416 and 417 but the m.r. series hasn't had it yet. I remember the old advertisements where the guy would come out of muddy water hole and the colt upper blows up from water but the 416 pushes the water out of various points like the buffer tube.
Way more than an Lmt R20, and you dont get a tougher barrel, nor do you get the monolithic uppers system that provides (semi) quick barrel swapping
Nice, but I want the HK G39 if Im going to spend alot of money. Probably not available in the States yet.
Unlined barrel, not even nitrided
No chrome?
@kevinforget549 nope
Watch reviews n you may be pleasantly surprised
Is the 416 not available to civilians? I thought the military model was the M27
That's the Marines model. If you want that actually lives up to what the 416 should be, take a look at the caracal 816.
Nice ejection pattern.
What optic are you using?
Looks like a aimpoint acro p1. I’d look at aimpoint p2 or there C2.
Crying in Canada as the hk sl8 just became restricted....
Really curious about the new gas system compared to the old one
People are going to make fun of him soooooo bad for that *British* dpm smock.
I loved the dpm woodland one I bought from Sportsman's Guide.
Super comfortable, tough and pocket capacity for days.
So please a comparison to the Spear
I always just pushed th pins in with my finger and opened then on the other side with my finger nail 😂
What is the best AR under $2000?
Scionics or griffin armament or faxon
Thanks Ten Round Tim! (I do the same).
Paying for the name and some resemblance to an actual issued weapon. That's it.
If you have the money and want it, go for it.
Real nice
Let me guess:
No chrome line barrel
The bore is bare steel.
Very nice
I wish more rifles came with quad rails, not that there's anything wrong with mlok but quads are cooler😂
What is the price? 6k ?
Looks like it's selling to civilians for $3,500 to $4,000. Pretty pricy imo
I'm a fan 👌😊
Awesome
Di or piston?
Really? It’s a 416 homie
@craines588 needs piston
@@adods9824 huh? Needs position? 416’s only come piston
@@craines588excellent ... 😁👍
Doesn't take the best AR triggers
Is barrel chrome lined?
Nope
@ hard pass
@@lionsofcornwall8475 me too. It's definitely a bummer
@@renncampo8507 just seems so stupid
No, and it doesn’t matter
"Wildly expensive..." aaand you lost me
H&K works extra hard to not sell their products
Does the bore have some type of coating like Nitride?
Per HK customer service... No.
Not exactly true
Don't know why anyone will cry about having one of these guns, I got an MP5 cause there is still no other weapon like it. But theres plenty of AR15s out there.
Price?
Answer: Nope.
4k???
I don’t see diopter sights
I used the G36 and trained with the MP5. Not a fan and not impressed.
What do the Marines actually pay for one of these? I really hope it isn't anywhere near the consumer price.
3500 dollars.. why isn't this made in the US so I can buy it without feeling bad
Must be all the money they're losing to SIG
Isnt the mr556 the hk416 just the civilian version of it i see no difference?
Me want but pockets no agree
My son was issued a real one in the Marine Corps. That's a flat shootin' SOB!
All ar15s and m4s are flat shooting.
@@CMon_Jackplus it weighs almost 9 lbs with a full magazine
@@CMon_Jackthey shoot even flatter when they‘re as heavy as an M27
@borkwoof696 more of the weight is out front. Good for keeping the muzzle down but can be fatiguing.
Getting much closer to M4a1

The Price is fine
Your wont do a meltdown/tourcher test on it
I live 40 min away, i need to get the energy to come check out copper
Oh look, another AR... Next.
How many beans?
$3200 on PSA
@MrTenhighguy they truly hate the poors

Same reason all the sp5 and sp89s are neutered to high hell compared to a Turkish one made off their licensing.
Nice 🦘🇦🇺
Imagine thinking chrome lining is good or even necessary lol
What do you mean you picked it up over at Copper? Don’t you own Copper lol?
If your asking for the price HK is and your not chrome lining the barrel, get lost
To quote the simpsons..."so expensive that only the three richest kings of Europe can afford it". Oh abd and some gun tubers...
Na that’s the 22
Despise my hk mr 556 a1 it is way too heavy for being what it is
I had an h&k pistol. It was mechanically sound but the sights were way off. I tried reaching out to h&k to see what they could do to rectify the situation. I never heard anything back from them. I vowed I would never buy an h&k product again
No

HK416 is overrated
The caracal 816 is its better version.
@Spec_tisum EXACTLY
Not worth the price
Very expensive but not that much better than a mil- spec M4 👎👎
I was just thinking “You know, you don’t have enough crippling credit card debt.” Must order now. 😂
LWRC did it first?
IYKYK: Caracal 816A2 is arguably the Worlds Best AR-15.
It really it a slept on piston AR.
Junk

Ehhh..... who needs two kidneys?
Price?
