HK MR308 good price
- Thread starter dizzy
- Start date
Piston and DI are different so not sure how it can be classified an AR varient unless someone with an Iq less than that of the highest number on a dice is running the show. Not interested in an LMT, although they are great and did beat out the HK in the British competition. I like the MR308 want one and will actually find out from the powers that be if a match barrel can be put on it and turn it into a non restricted. Info on the back side of the interenet is a lot more helpful than the infor here on the forum. Lets see what is an MP5 worth now days.? not the most accuracte kid on the block. G36? better out there? yes but its value???? My gues is the LMT won't hold its value like an HK considering HK's aren't selling hardly at alll
Call Joe at Dlask Arms in Vancouver, he did a 10.5 inch for a MR223 recently.
I'm sure he could build a 20 inch for a MR308.
Again, nice choice on a rifle, here's my MR223

very nice! how much did you pay for it?
by the way there is a 416 with a 20' barrel on the hand k website so would it be possible to import these since we dont have to go through the us for them?
It may not be possible and if so, would take forever and probably cost you huge.
I paid $3900.00 for the MR223 and just under $2000.00 for the optic.
The difference between the semi auto 416 and the MR223 is the pin placement (MR223 is offset by 6mm so it can't be interchanged with AR15's), but most MR223 owners probably wouldn't feel the need to interchange uppers or lowers anyways. Just my personal opinion....
+1
The only modification I would make to my MR223 would be too possible get a lighter rail system, it does get a little front heavy, but it is a very solid AR type rifle. Best AR out there for the most part!

They're trying to prohibit .22lr rifles based solely on looks (GSG-5, etc.)
And someone thinks the MR223 in a non-restricted flavour will pass the muster test of the FRC?

Roll your eyes all you like, if you don't try you don't know do you? There is no justifiabe reason to deny the permit so why not try? the sig 522 did't make it for reasons you have no clue. There is a very good change a mr223 wtih a 29 barrle will pass the test.
It'll be an AR variant.
Remember, this is from the guys who restricted the SIG 522 blowback and those various AR looking (but functionally different) .22s. Oh,and the Rossi backpacker gongshow, too.
However, I encourage anyone with more money than sense to try. One can always get lucky.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Just know that they restricted my Armi Jager AP22 .22 cal which shares nothing but a vague passing similarity with the AR15 without notification.
But fill your boots tiger... go get 'em. I'll be second in line behind you if you pull it off

Just how stupid are you? SAN has the same platform on 5 different types of barrel lengths two of which happen to be non-restricted based on barrel length alone and 3 which are restricted based on barrel lenght alone. what part don't you get?? in fact pistols go from restriced to the terrible prohibs based on a whopping 1/4 inch, again what don't you get? looks to me like your eyes are rolling in your head as a result of head trauma more than anything else.
Simple. The firearms lab investigates whether the sample provided for the FRT works in any fashion with existing AR components. If in their opinion items are compatible, then its classed as a variant. You and I can agree or disagree on their methods or findings - but I'm unaware of the appeal process if there is one, nor the cost of such action.
I'm sure most here would wish you luck on this venture...but try not to do more harm than good...like what we are reading about the Sten saga...
What??The SAN rifles were not around or available when C68 was dreamed up, and were not therefore written into the 'list' of restricted or prohibited firearms.
I don't know of any pistols named specifically in OIC...
The AR was, and is specifically noted as restricted. What part of any of this are you not understanding?
You better than most ought to know most decsions are arbitrary, aren't you the ones trying to bring the SAPR as NR? not sure why all the animosity towards someone who is trying to do what most hope is successful. The point I was making on pistols is a mere .25 of an inch makes one legal for most the other legal and in fact the legal one is more lethal. I understand it all very very well I also uderstand DI and Piston Driven are not variants of one another. In the end it wont' matter as I have what I want and need and more, just thought I'd try and do something for fun as I have the time do do so.

Just to let it be said, the Business FRT states, under the "HK MR" rifle in .223Rem, .308win, 5.56mm, and 7.62NATO (You read that right, there is only an "MR" rifle in the FRT, MR223 and MR308 are classed as variants of the "MR" rifle, NOT AR-15's), that the legal classification is "Restricted", under the legal authority of "CC 84(1) "restricted firearm" para. (b)", specifically:
"restricted firearm" means
(b) a firearm that
(i) is not a prohibited firearm,
(ii) has a barrel less than 470 mm in length, and
(iii) is capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner,
Therefore you COULD, IN THEORY, add a 18.5" barrel, and have it verified as non-restricted.

I have nothing to do with the SAPR.
It's been said over and over, trying to analyse legislation and rulings that are based on emotion and knee jerk reactions to public opinion with logic will net you a fair amount of migraines and a sore forehead.
No doubt your intentions mean well, but depending on how you present your case on any given topic to the government, it could very well be a double edged sword - something to think about.

I bet by the fifth or sixth MR that actually lands in-country non-restricted, the RCMP techs will have no problems identifying it as a variant of a restricted.
Read the Henderson appeal thus far. Not the CGN summary, the actual court document.
Coles' Notes for everyone else:
Though the judge in no way, shape, or form could define the technicalities of what makes a variant, other than a vague dictionary definition, he classed (what should be) a non-restricted .22 rifle into a prohibited.
