Is the HK MR556 A4 Actually Worth $4,000?
About this video
Colion reviews the HK MR556 A4, describing it as the fourth iteration of what he considers the civilian HK 416. He walks through his extensive personal experience with multiple HK MR series rifles and explains why he believes this A4 version addresses many issues from earlier generations. Colion demonstrates the rifle’s performance and details the modifications he’s made, ultimately arguing that despite its nearly $4,000 price point, the rifle’s build quality and out-of-box features make it worth considering for enthusiasts.
Key takeaways
- Colion explains that the A4 version includes an adjustable gas block, which he says solves overpressure and gas blowback issues he experienced with earlier generations, especially when suppressed
- According to Colion, the rifle’s factory components—including the trigger, safety selector, grip, and rail system—are exceptional enough that he feels no need to replace them, which he considers unusual
- Colion teaches that the rifle’s fully ambidextrous lower receiver, lighter weight compared to previous iterations, and overall build quality justify the premium price for buyers who appreciate these features
