For your Memorial Day celebrating pleasure! This ad will run about 24 hours, after that point-in-time, I will take it off the market and take it to the range for a proper initiation. Brand new, in box with all factory materials, rifle case as well as one magazine are included. Also, the Trijicon VCOG 1-6X24 223/55 Grain Red Horseshoe Dot/Crosshair Reticle with Bobro Quick Release Scope Mount is included. The optic was purchased pre-owned from Oregon Rifle Works, and is in excellent condition. Please keep in mind, retail price of the HK is $3500 and the VCOG is $2800. As you know, there is just something surrounding the mystic of HK that makes this rifle special. From my viewpoint, "the battlefield-proven reliability, durability and precision you would expect from a rifle that bears the name Heckler & Koch," sums it up perfectly. While this is not the famed HK416, the lineage is unmistakable. There are not that many MR556s around, so buy it now! Please, no trades. Can meet in the Portland and Vancouver metro areas.
From hk-usa.com:
"A direct descendant of the world-famous HK416, the MR556A1 is the commercial carbine from the same DNA. It offers the battlefield-proven reliability, durability and precision you would expect from a rifle that bears the name Heckler & Koch.
The MR556A1 is assembled in the USA using US and German-made components and uses many of the same parts and assemblies developed for the HK416.
Like the HK416, the MR556A1 uses a proprietary HK short-stroke gas piston in place of the direct-gas-impingement system found on lesser AR15-style rifles that propels exhaust gas into the upper receiver to operate the action.
In the "closed" HK piston system, exhaust gasses never enter the receiver, which means the HK runs cooler, cleaner and more reliably.
When adverse conditions, like dust, sand and mud are introduced, the advantage of the HK system becomes even more drastic. That is why so many of the world's elite military and law-enforcement customers have absolute trust in their HKs.
The MR556A1's barrel is cold hammer forged from the highest quality cannon-grade steel. It has a 1 in 7" twist and a taper-bore configuration, with a slightly smaller diameter at the muzzle for improved accuracy and velocity. And while the material and cold hammer forging process themselves greatly enhance durability, HK's processes include many additional steps not taken by other manufacturers to produce superior accuracy and service life, ensuring performance well beyond "mil-spec."

From Trijicon:
"The Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG® (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight) is a rugged variable powered riflescope that accommodates close quarter battle (CQB) and long distance marksmanship. It features superior glass quality and light gathering capabilities with zero distortion. The bullet drop compensating and ranging reticles allow for the shooter to quickly and accurately estimate range and apply the correct hold. The first focal plane reticle allows the subtensions and drops to remain true at any magnification. With a forged 7075-T6 aircraft-aluminum-alloy housing, the VCOG is an exceptionally durable and nearly indestructible sighting system. Robust enough for any application, the VCOG utilizes a single AA battery, commonly found across the globe and offers 6 adjustable brightness settings for the LED reticle. When powered by a lithium AA battery (like the one provided), it boasts a considerable battery life of 700 hours at setting 4 (constant on). An integrated dial fin allows easy rotation through the magnification range and a constant eye relief means no head or stock position adjustments are needed. Waterproof to 20 meters (66 ft.)."
