legal status of the H&K 417

[gord1986]

Does anyone know what the legal status is of the H&K 417.

If they are non-restricted I would like to buy one.

thanks!

Prohib due to being full automatic. You can buy the Civie version called the MR308 though. It is restricted though.

I think he meant MR308.

Either way it is regarded as an AR15 variant.....so you got the idea.

Ah you are right fixed it.

I believe there are semi-auto only HK 416 & 417's....

To elaborate

The Euro/Canadian version MR223 & MR308 are semi-auto only

The U.S. version MR556 & MR762 are also semi-auto only (release date fall 2010)

The H&K 416 & 417 Are in fact full-auto-kick-ass-nasty-BAMF rifles.

and sadly, unless all hell is unleashed...yours and my hands will never get to hold one...

but the Civie versions are still quite nice!!!

You are mistaken the HK 416 and 417 come in Semi Auto configurations as well. There sales are restricted to Goverment and Law Enforcement Agencies

I was under the impression that the 416, was only to be sold in Toronto, special request by David Miller LMFHO

the MR223 is wicked. But that vertical grip makes me wince.

That is correct. The sem-only HK 416 is on the same level as the semi-only G36/UMP/MP7
