H&K rifles

Erk. Hope your buddy enjoys his run-of-the-mill, only-as-awesome as everyone else's AR. Now that he didn't fork out too much money for a silly brand tag gun, he can buy enough ammo to get good shooting it.

I didn't choose an AR to be unique, I chose an AR for standardization.

When your nifty HK piston gun breaks a bolt, where do you go to buy one?

When my AR breaks a bolt I can go to at least half a dozen stores in SoCal alone to pick up a new bolt, extractor, gas key, etc. And it will cost me about $60.

AR parts are standardized and common enough that I can even stock up on spare parts to have sitting around without breaking the bank.

My AR looks only-as-awesome as everyone elses? Good! That means that standardization is WORKING.

I see where your coming from.

My friend has decided after hours of research and my advice to stick with DI.

Also, HK hates you:

This article is hilarious.

Also I think you mistook my print sarcasm above for seriousness. I have nothing against "standard" AR's. I have like 4 of them, and nothing more exotic, either. :P

You friend can still get the hk upper mr566 at a later date. Should fit in his mp, just need to swap out buffer and spring. Congrats.

I don't think it will work on a standard AR lower. That's what I was told, never actually tried it.

HKs' don't break

HKs' don't break

Yeah, I'm not taking that troll-bait

[azthig69]

Err... the MR556 DOES in fact fit a standard lower...

Agreed. I trust that you have one and actually tried....better yet, can you post a pic, if you don't mind.

Haha are those hk high reliability mags what people making them out to be.

[Sturnovik]

Or are they not as good as pmags? Sorry posted twice since I'm on my phone lol.

We take his AR out the day after he picks it up. Thanks for helping us narrow I down!

The HK "High Reliability" mags were designed as VERY EXPENSIVE USGI mags because PMAG's won't fit in a HK416 lower and the HK416's couldn't reliably use standard USGI mags.

Honestly, they were a solution to an HK problem.

For the price of one HK "High Reliability" mag, you can get three PMAG's. And I'll take the PMAG's over the HK mags any day of the week.

The EMAG's fit the HK. The 10/20 PMAG's as well but not the 10/30.

I don't know where this internet FUD comes from. There is another rifle called the MR223 that sells in Europe and Canada. It is NOT AR15 compatible.

The MR556A1 is AR compatible, and the upper works just fine on any AR lower.

Here's a review from MAC, fast forward to about 17 minutes in if you want to see the MR upper on an AR lower:

That's not really correct at all. USGI mags work perfectly in 416's and MR556, in fact, USMC regulations state that ONLY USGI mags are to be used in their M27IAR's (which have the same lower as the 556 and 416) The HK mags were deigned to actually be reliable, the feed lips won't seperate, and they have drainage holes in all of the "maritime" mags to keep the magazine from blowing out of the rifle if you fire it when it's full of water.

I don't know why you think that HK would design a rifle around a non-stanag spec pmag or be concerned with it. Even the USMC has banned PMAGs from use now.
