Modern sporting rifle chambered in 5.56mm with 16.5" threaded barrel, short-stroke gas piston system, ambidextrous controls, and 30-round magazine capacity. Optics-ready platform with adjustable gas regulator.
The MR556 A4 represents a thoughtful evolution in modern rifle design. Heckler & Koch's short-stroke gas piston operating system delivers a fundamental advantage: it keeps hot carbon fouling out of the action, allowing the rifle to run longer between cleanings with less wear on internal components.
This rifle weighs 7.67 pounds and measures 3.07" wide and 7.5" tall. The barrel features 6 lands and grooves with a 1-in-7" right-hand twist, optimized for a wide range of 5.56mm ammunition. The trigger breaks at 4.5 to 5.6 pounds—a clean, predictable break suitable for both tactical and precision applications.
The combination of piston-driven reliability, lighter weight, and slimmer profile makes this rifle easier to operate and manipulate in real-world conditions. Whether you're building a home defense platform, a competition rifle, or a general-purpose modern sporting rifle, the MR556 A4 provides the foundation for a versatile, low-maintenance system.
