Looks like the U.S website has been updated with the new HK556 and HK762, should be alot of info released tomorrow at S.H.O.T. . Hopefully Questar or someone might be able to bring these in. Looks potentionally more promising than the European version MR223 . Waiting for S.H.O.T. reports

HK762 would be sweet.

Too bad ammo for it is rapidly approaching $1.00 a round.

Still has the rear pin relocated so it cannot be used with other AR lowers. Ghay.

Interesting... And the 7.62mm version is very interesting. I wonder what the odds are of anyone being able to import these up from the US once they are out on the market...

And of course it only comes with a 10 round mag.

Well, I can't speak for the original poster, but I'd say that a 5.56mm chambering, instead of the .223 in the Euro version, is interesting in itself. i.e. surplus 5.56 ammo.

What surplus ammo?! Point me to some if you've seen a pile anywhere

Fair enough. But maybe this stuff at TSE can hold you over until we see some real surplus 5.56.... if we ever do again...

5.56 chamber will not be allowed to be exported from the US. Collapsable stocks also can't be exported for the US.

No chance at all?

 

[CNADNSL8-5]

since the US said that all ARs with 5.56 chambers and collapsable stocks can no longer be exported, I would say the same applies to the HK. I am no expert, but I would say you are SOL on getting one from the US.

Hello retailers. If you can bring one in, i'll buy it!

hmm I heard the price tag back in MR223 was like $4100... I think we should just look at the MR762... Piston AR rifle are pretty common now, Colt is finally going to make one, LWRC are examples

Since the upper won't fit on an ar lower, doesn't this mean it's not an at variant, and should be non restricted?

IIRC it's a restricted due to the fact that it's a derivative of the HK416 which in turn is a derivative of the AR-15.

what does 16" barrel tell ya? Restricted of course... Unless we can get the 20" Accuracized barrel from hk417 on to like MR762

What does it being an AR15/M16 variant tell ya?? It will be restricted no matter the barrel length.

 

[DARKARCHER]

is it comin via the usa or stright from eourpe if so then stocks and fh should be no problem

 

[krausb]

Looks like these rifles will be US manufactured. Is that a first for HK?

Also, I guess the US manufacture of these guns rules out any chance of seeing them imported direct from Europe....
