Description
Like its 5.56 mm counterpart, the MR762A1 is a direct
descendant of the HK416/417 series, only in a semi-automatic
rifle configuration developed for civilian users.
Using the HK-proprietary operating system, the MR762A1 is gas
operated and uses a piston and a solid operating “pusher†rod in
place of the common gas tube normally employed in AR15/M16/
M4-style weapons.
Pioneered by Heckler & Koch in the G36, HK416, and HK417;
this method virtually eliminates malfunctions common to direct
impingement gas systems since hot carbon fouling and waste
gases do not enter the receiver area. The MR762A1 stays cleaner,
reducing heat transfer to the bolt and bolt carrier, and drastically
reducing wear and tear on other critical components. The service life of all parts is increased substantially.
The MR762A1 uses a barrel produced by Heckler & Koch’s
famous cold hammer forging process. This manufacturing
process uses the highestat ensures superior accuracy, even after firing thousands of
rounds. The MR762A1 is produced at Heckler & Koch’s American
manufacturing facilities from both American and German-made
components.
The MR762A1 uses many of the assemblies and accessories
originally developed for the HK416/417 series including
adjustable buttstocks, ergonomic pistol grips, mechanical sights,
and handguards. All of the HK handguards are free-floating
with MIL-STD-1913 “Picatinny†type rail capabilities allowing accessories, sights, lights, and aimers used on M4/M16-type
weapons to be fitted to the MR series. HK rail systems can be
removed without special tools by the user and ensure 100%
return to zero when reinstalled.
Ambidextrous operating controls are standard on the
MR762A1, including a convertible charging handle and an
ambidextrous selector lever. The MR762A1 uses the same 10- and
20-round translucent polymer box magazines made for under development.
MR762A1 rifles are well-suited for a variety of applications
including law enforcement tactical, police patrol, and general
sport shooting. For hunting use, low capacity magazines are
available.Caliber: 7.62x51mm
