About the Heckler & Koch MR762
The MR762 is the civilian, semi-automatic-only version of the HK417 select-fire battle rifle, marketed primarily to the United States market in 7.62x51mm NATO. Built on the same short-stroke gas piston operating system as its military counterpart with a free-floating cold-hammer-forged barrel, the rifle delivers HK417-class accuracy and reliability in a configuration legal for civilian sale.
Despite being marketed as a civilian sporter, the MR762 shares roughly 80 percent parts commonality with the military HK417 and is widely considered one of the most accurate semi-automatic 7.62 NATO rifles in factory production. H&K USA timed its 2009 launch to capitalize on the post-Iraq surge in 7.62 NATO precision interest among American shooters.
