HK MR556 and MR308 - no price and date yet. The US version will be exactly the same as the German version, other than the muzzle threading.

Interesting tibit - the ugly HK stock and pistol grip are actually the doing of US end users, who want 1911 grip angle and a non-snagging sliding stock. It is not difficult to see why Troy is requested to make their Battle Axe stock in the same general configuration.

The HK MR series, at least the German version, is pressed into the receiver and the torqued down by the barrel nut to increase accuracy. The US version will have precision take down pins - they have to be tapped out with a tool by design to tighten the lower and upper fit.

The MR308 is sexy - with the 20 round magazine.

Wow.....

[fnrob]

I know I'll never be able to afford one, but I'd love to have the SCAR-H whenever it becomes available. One can always dream, I guess.

[P90Puma]

Any word on the MSRP of the SCAR-H?

[greentips]

Not sure, but they have been shipping it in the US already.

Don't worry....that makes 2 of us. That MR308 is very sexy.....I need more money.

[kthomas]

Any word on the MSRP of the SCAR-H?

I handled the scar-L down here at a shop, price tag was $2899 if i remember correctly. Scar-H would be in that ball park I assume.

[Brordo]

For those in GVA...Italian has an MR308 but that price tag of $4899 seems over-the-top.

Wow, that is quite a bit more than the $4199 at CGN sponsor CRAFM

I know...I even mentioned it to them...got a shrug with "There's only a few in the country..."

They always seem to justify that with that explanation. I find them all friendly, but pricing on firearms is always MSRP or MSRP+.

I do support them on ammo and things that are fairly priced. I find reliable etc gets more of my money though.

I remember their SAN CQB upper for $2800 + tax in the fall. They basically said, thats the price - and you are saving money by getting this. Their SAN CQB was $3600 I think, with average new sales price of $3100ish in most other stores I think.

If it got exported with all the goodies, I'd be willing to pay that + the Canadian "tax" on top of it.

3500? Non restricted of course.

Looks like a good option for a SASS (Semi auto sniper system) in the future in Canada.

If that's the same CQB I was looking at they wouldn't budge below $2900...I probably would have taken it at $2800 (but I was trying for $2700 at their preXmas blowout).

Actually, yep - it was $2900... I did a lot of CQB research at the time, and ended up finding a like new one from Marstar... $2700 or $2800 I think.

[Striker66]

Don't know if KevinB mentioned it or not when you were there, but one of the shorties (I think the one below the tan colored one pictured) is actually chambered in the 6x35mm PDW cartridge, numnumnum :D

Oh you're the one that got the Marstar one...I saw that but was too late...great minds think alike :)

[Justins1877]

The 2 rifles i'm interested in at SHOT so far, is the RFB and the Scar.

[LTR308]

MSRP++++++++++++++++++.

Was that a typo?

[cjs]

Was that a typo?

Not sure what you mean? :) I just typed one single + sign after msrp.

[cjs]

Feeling like a fisherman remembering some amazing fish that wasn't as good as memory, I just remembered it was 2850. Heh.

[Lfsabch]

sar would be restricted no?

[FPembleton]

sar would be restricted no?

SCAR-H sniper's barrel length should be over 18.5"

[Lfsabch]

oooooooo happy birthday to me, didnt know if they were classed as an "AR"

[pokeitman]

is the scar-l available in canada now? and if so does anyone know who has them and how much?

[severus]

I know I'll never be able to afford one, but I'd love to have the SCAR-H whenever it becomes available. One can always dream, I guess.

Well that is thinking positively. I guess you'll positively never have one. Don't dream. DO.

[skinnadoor]

I am trying to get a second job so i can afford to get such things. The hell with it, buddy is right, don't dream.....DO.

[rajczak_kashka]

SCAR 16 (5.56) is the civillian version of the SCAR-L and should be in Canada soon. Can`t say much more than that....as I don`t know much more than that!hahahaha....

Oh yeah......they will be $3999.99 cdn.......

[frward]

it is prohibited

[b_w.]

it is prohibited

based on what?

[frward]

it is prohibited by name i asked at CFC

[chris1974]

Oh boy my wife is going to be mad at me

[FPembleton]

it is prohibited by name i asked at CFC

You asked the wrong question. Try asking for the civilian S models, and not the select-fire military models.

[P90Puma]

it is prohibited by name i asked at CFC

Nothing in this thread is prohibited by name.

[Gopher Slayer]

yes the scar 16 is prohibited but the weapon that we would get in is the scar 16S for civilian sale and should just be restricted probably depending on barrel length.

[kuya]

[severus]

it is prohibited

I don't agree. The 16S and the 17S have not been classified prohibited. My understanding is that they are being reviewed and that a few dealers are looking to import them into Canada.

If they were prohibited, it would have shown up on this site the second it happened.

Think twice, write once.

[frward]

maybe but for now all Scar model are prohibited. i know that they have little knowledge but that is what they told me

and the scar civilian is not new from this year so not many chance it will change

[cpynch]

My god, that's a sexy rifle.

[ponts]

I'm pretty sure the "clerk" answering the phones in Miramishi knows more about manicures then she does guns. She probably heard "FN" and immediately said prohib based on the FNFAL.

Questar IS BRINGING these in. If the barrel goes over 470mm it WILL be NON-restricted.

[P0WERWAGON]

well the only SCAR rifles right now are full auto. guess why it says prohib.....

[tootall]

has FN seen the light regarding export models?
They hadnt 1 1/2 years ago when I asked this:
http://www.fnforum.net/fnh-q-a-july-14-2008-answered-t8469.html

[MPI]

To be prohib a SA firearm must be NAMED on list created in 1995, it cannot be modified or added to without an ammendment to the law by parliment (not the cfc or RCMP). The list has not been touched since 1995. The SCAR was not even a dirty dream in someones mind in 1995.:)

[MPI]

That makes sence if no SA models have been submitted yet.

Can you even purchase these SBR KAC SR15s in the states as a Civie?

[Tom_Swift]

Can you even purchase these SBR KAC SR15s in the states as a Civie?

I don't think so, you could always get the SR15 and rebarrel it with a Colt 11.5" IIRC KevinB said KAC uses Colt barrels don't quote me on it though.
