Certainly looks to have some potential, especially if it has some customization potential and uses common mags. I can't imagine the asking price though...
And that's with a barrel that's neither chrome lined or nitrided thanks to German export laws. If some people griped about the ACR not having chrome lining who knows how this will fly with them.
Chrome lined bbls are GTG for military or law enforcement, but HK/Germany think civilians suck and they hate us. That's why the civilian MR556 is unlined inside and the military/LE HK416 is chrome lined.
Hmmmm, the details has me thinking........I wonder if Bushmaster licensed the design to HK which is why they have little interest in breaking out the ACR stuff. That bolt release and mag release have lawsuit written all over it, lol. I wonder what Magpul's stance is on this.
I have a feeling it's gonna cost well over 3K, but I like it. If it shoots as good as it should, and is price competitive, I would probably make the switch.
if and I do mean if they made a civilian model what would the cost of it would be, also if they had all the different caliber/barrel options available ???
2900-3400 mmmmmm????
CRAP! Just when I was satisfied with my collection.. Now I want this HK. However As far as their rifles go,HK (to me) seems to not target the civilian market much at all.. I don't think I have ever seen a 416 in real life unless it is a .22... Someone is trying to get over 7k for a 416 10" upper on gun broker.. I will be surprised if this ever makes it to the civilian market..
LOL
we will see in a decade...although H&K has done significantly better the last couple years than their entire history with deal with civilians...not saying much though
FWIW, this is old news over at HKPRO.
This rifle is being made for the German military to replace the G36. It is a blend of 416 & G36 made for a specific contract request.
HK has been making polymer guns longer than anyone.
Man, assuming I ever actually had the opportunity/wallet capacity to own one, I'd have to do whatever I could to replace the pistol grip, BUIS and trigger guard (if that's even possible on that model). Even the stock could use some artistic love. That H&K OEM stuff is ugleee...
Rem Def will give us the proper ACR before HK even considers giving us a bastardized version of this for twice the price.
