POTD: Heckler & Koch MR223 & 1976 Lincoln Continental
Photo Of The Day: Today we have a 1976 Lincoln Continental, painted in matt black. It’s powered by a 460 cu in (7.5 liter) Ford V8. To give you an idea of the size of this car, it became the longest automobiles ever produced by Ford Motor Company when they added the 5-mph bumpers in 1977. I like the fact that it is only a two door, and the small oval window for the passengers in the rear.
The rifle is a Heckler & Koch MR223 in H&K Team Norway Edition. It has a custom-made barrel by Lothar Walther and the Mekanix Handguard and custom gas block, which works for the Heckler & Koch MR223/MR556/HK416 Rifles. We’ve covered the Salen 3D Printed Titanium Compensator before, and this rifle has it.
The riflescope is a Swarovski Z8i in a Spuhr mount, with a Trijicon RMR as a secondary red dot.
The bipod is the latest from GRS Riflestocks in Norway. TFB has this bipod on review at the moment, but it will take a while before we’ve tried it enough for a verdict.
You can find H&K Team Norway on Facebook.
