The HK MR556A1 delivers military-grade precision in a California-compliant configuration, engineered with the same specifications as the HK416 used by elite military units worldwide. This semi-automatic rifle combines German engineering excellence with tactical versatility for serious shooters demanding uncompromising performance.
What Makes This Different
Built on HK's proven HK416 platform, the MR556A1 features a cold hammer-forged barrel and proprietary gas piston operating system that runs significantly cooler and cleaner than direct impingement designs. The free-floating barrel delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential while the piston system reduces fouling by 90% compared to traditional AR-pattern rifles. This California-compliant model includes fixed stock and 10-round magazine capacity to meet state regulations without sacrificing operational reliability.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 16.5-inch barrel with 1:7 twist rate for optimal 5.56 NATO performance
- HK proprietary short-stroke gas piston system eliminates gas blowback to the receiver
- M-LOK compatible handguard with multiple attachment points for accessories
- Ambidextrous controls including bolt catch, magazine release, and safety selector
- Free-floating barrel system enhances accuracy and reduces point-of-impact shift
- California-compliant fixed stock configuration with 10-round magazine capacity
- HK's signature fluted chamber for reliable extraction under adverse conditions
The MR556A1 excels in precision shooting applications where reliability cannot be compromised. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent accuracy and reduced maintenance requirements, while the robust construction handles extended training sessions without performance degradation. The piston-driven system maintains zero drift even during rapid-fire sequences, and the rifle functions reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F.
