official H&K MR556 price

[SpeedAKL]

MSRP: $2,995
Dealer invoice: $2,280

Ends the speculation about a $4000 gun or a $3000 upper.

That's still a stiff price IMHO...maybe HK is pulling a Bushmaster and getting a little too ambitious. I know they make high-quality stuff, just look at their handguns. However, while expensive, their handguns are not priced outrageously IMO. I seriously doubt the MR556 is worth the cost of a Robinson XCR (which has more of the latest "adaptable rifle" features) AND a Colt 6920 M4-type carbine (a good standard AR). The HK416 is a proven design and the MR556 should thus be a solid product. However, is it worth the huge premium in your opinion over other piston ARs?

you're paying for a GP AR made by HK. it really isn't anything special - let alone special enough to warrant $2000+. But, it'll still sell...

if it comes with some good features (rails, etc.), then maybe it'll be worth the money. Definitely better than what the ACR has shaped up to be.

The other unfortunate thing that was revealed on M4Carbine was that the thing weighs over 9 lbs, roughly 1 lb more than the ACR everyone has been complaining about....

Anybody know what the dealer invoice is on an MR762? That's the one I'm really interested in.

Aside from price, and weight, it and its upper and lower are not compatible with any other AR rifle by design.
Ill stick with my gas piston AR.

Wrong! The MR556 upper is mil-spec and will go onto any spec lower. Also one of the reasons this rifle is expensive is it is match grade.

Just getting the upper also let's one sidestep HK's "improved" magwell design.

Which means?

It won't catch fire after being held under one match?

"Match grade" is meaningless for anything that is not specifically built for, and actually used in, match competition. And even then, only relevant if people can regularly win with the "match grade" rifle without making any modifications. Which probably applies to some .22 LR target rifles, some handguns, and little else.

Which means?

a 15% price premium over the 20% price premium for having hK's logo on it

Snort! Snicker... guffaw! Oh man, I just spewed coffee out my nose.
