IWA 2017: Heckler and Koch Part 3 - HK MR308 and MR223 Rifles

[greentips]

The 13" MR308 is officially in the catalogue and displayed on the show floor. Both MR308 and MR223 are switching to the slim line hand guard as the standard now.







The 11" MR223 - both MR308 and MR223 have cold hammer forged chrome lined barrels.



The new hand guard is longer than the old railed hand guard. The original fold down front sight attached to the gas block is replaced by rail mounted front site.



Rear sling loop is standard now



The HKey mounting slots appear to need thicker handguard wall than the keypad. Note that full length rails at both 6 and 12.



Brown 16.5" with S&B 1-8 PM2 shortdot

Wish we could buy the rest of the HK products too.. that you just can't get in Canada - shwag, parts, mags, BUIS.. even a hat is rare commodity. Why so scarce? simple demand?

You can get all the goodies you are looking for (except mags) from North Sylva. The only catch is that they have to be ordered from HK Germany and that process usually takes about 6 months.

so what's the actual difference between the MR308 and the G28Z other than the price?

[GunBoy]

different between Toyota and Lexus.

Aluminum to steel receiver. Slightly different gas block iirc. I believe the barrel is chrome lined in the g28.

As for the price difference. The mr308 is a bmw 650i with varying options. The g28z is the m6.

MR308 is chrome lined too... another difference is the buttstock -on the G- you used to get the a DMR style with cheek riser, no longer on the MR-
