HK MR556A1 Competition 5.56mm NATO 16.5in Black Semi-Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle – 30+1 Rounds
The HK MR556A1 Competition is the ultimate modern sporting rifle designed for competitive shooters and tactical enthusiasts. Built as a premium civilian version of the legendary HK416, this rifle delivers unmatched performance, precision, and reliability. Combining advanced engineering with cutting-edge components, the MR556A1 Competition is ideal for competition, recreational shooting, or serious home defense.
Advanced Modular Rail System (MRS)
This competition-grade MR556A1 features the new 14-inch Modular Rail System (MRS). Lightweight and highly customizable, the MRS allows shooters to add accessory rails exactly where needed, without adding unnecessary weight. Its extended length does not touch the barrel, preserving the free-floating barrel design that enhances accuracy and precision. Compared to traditional rectangular full rail systems, the MRS offers a more ergonomic and comfortable handguard surface, making it perfect for extended shooting sessions.
Enhanced Competition Features
The MR556A1 Competition includes several performance upgrades for competitive shooting. An extended magazine release allows faster reloads, while the Operator Suppressor Systems (OSS) compensator replaces the standard MR flash hider. OSS is a world leader in sound and flash suppression technology, and their compensator reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil for faster follow-up shots. Combined, these features make the MR556A1 Competition exceptionally responsive and controllable in high-speed shooting scenarios.
High-Quality Stock and Barrel
This rifle comes equipped with a Magpul CTR buttstock, which moves smoothly along the receiver extension and locks securely in place. Its lightweight profile is ideal for competitive shooters who need rapid adjustments and stable shooting. The German-made long service barrel ensures longevity, precision, and consistent performance, making it a reliable platform for both competition and recreational shooting.

Fantastic trigger and tight groups. A bit heavy for long carries but worth it
