H&K MR556 (HK416) Shipping NOW!!!!!
Updated: January 9th, 2013
The day many thought would never arrive has finally materialized out of thin air! This week H&K finally started shipping the civilian version of the HK416 rifle. I shot it today for the first time and was impressed. It works as advertised. Easy to control and jumps right back on target. The retail price is slightly under $3000.

I'm thinking on buying the hk416 but I can't decide if I want to get the 416 or the Barrett rec7. I've shot the 416 and it is a heavy platform at 8.5 lbs unloaded but I'm overall impressed with the gun. My main concern is the magazine issue. I like drum magazines and not forsure if they will perform correctly in the 416
Just bought one at Tulsa gun show for $3000. I feel really stupid now. I think im gonna take it and try to flip it tomorrow. Seems like a nice solid rifle but i think i paid too much for it. They are kinda hard to find that is the only reason i jumped on it and bought it. Any comments???
