HK MR556 A1 5.56mm NATO 16.5in Black Semi-Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle – 10+1 Rounds
The HK MR556A1 5.56mm NATO rifle is a civilian version of the iconic HK416, engineered for shooters seeking unmatched accuracy, reliability, and tactical performance. This semi-automatic rifle combines match-grade precision with the proven durability of HK’s gas piston system, making it ideal for home defense, tactical training, and competitive shooting.
Cold Hammer Forged Barrel & Precision Engineering
Featuring a 16.5-inch barrel produced using HK’s legendary cold hammer forging process, the MR556A1 ensures long-lasting durability and exceptional accuracy. The thick, heavy-contour barrel is slightly “swagged” at the muzzle end for enhanced bullet velocity and tighter groupings. This high-quality barrel construction is perfect for long-range target practice, tactical drills, and AR-style precision shooting.
Reliable Gas Piston System
The MR556A1 employs HK’s proprietary gas piston operating system with a solid operating “pusher” rod. This design virtually eliminates malfunctions common in direct impingement systems, keeping hot gases and carbon fouling out of the receiver. Shooters enjoy smoother operation, reduced maintenance, and longer component life, making this rifle ideal for extended shooting sessions.
Modular Rail System & Optics Ready
The free-floating HK Modular Rail System (MRS) handguard is ergonomically designed for maximum control while retaining key attachment features from previous FFRS models. The rifle also includes a Picatinny rail on the upper receiver for mounting optics, scopes, or tactical sights. The MR556A1 is supplied with a 9-inch MRS handguard and Troy microsights, providing a ready-to-use, optics-ready tactical rifle platform.

I was impressed with the HK MR556. The rifle is overbuilt in the best way possible. From the flawless fit and finish to the rock-solid reliability, it’s clear why HK is so highly regarded. It cycles smoothly and shoots incredibly well. The best AR I’ve owned
