Like most other competitors, HK417 riflesare available in several barrel lengths, suitable for full scale ofmilitary operations, from close combat in urban or forest areas and upto long-range accurate shooting. However, there are more than few new and original features in HK417, including Heckler-Koch’s patented piston-operated gas system,user-changeable barrels etc. It is primarily oriented toward US market, as it mimics the popular 5.56 mm AR-15 / M16 rifles in external appearance, controls, and many design features. Several companies developed new or updated versions of 7.62 mm weapons, with intent to sell to military, law enforcement and in certain cases – to civilian shootersas well. This interestcame in from experience of international forces gained in Afghanistan and Iraq, where increased range and penetration of the 7.62 mm NATO bullets was (and still is) quite useful. Information on this weapon first surfaced in 2005, on the wave of new interest for the 7.62 mm NATO caliber military rifles. HK417:HK417 assault rifle was recently developed by famous German arms-making company Heckler und Koch, as a “big brother” to the 5.56 mm HK416 assault rifle. Buttstock is of typical M4 design, multi-position telescoped. grenade launcher, which is clamped directly to bottom rail. It also can accept modified HK AG36/AG-C 40 mm. HK416 is fitted with four Picatinny rails as standard, and may accept any type of sighting devices on STANAG-1913 compliant mounts. HK-416 retains all M16-style controls, including last round bolt hold-open device, rear-based charging handle and magazine release button on the right side of the magazine well. Combination-type safety / fire selector allows for single shots and full automatic mode. Receiver is made from high grade aluminium alloy. It uses short-stroke gas piston that operates the 7-lug rotating bolt. HK-416 assault rifle is a gas operated, selective fired weapon of modular design. In 2017 HK 416F won French trials for a new general issue rifle that should eventually replace aged and worn-off FAMAS rifles. Adopted by a number of Special Forces and by Norwegian army, it is also in use by US Marine Corps as M27 IAR and by elite German KSK unit as G38. Today HK 416 assault rifle is available as a complete weapon system in several versions.ĭuring the last decade the HK 416 family of rifles gained some momentum and appears to be heading for even more success. Originally developed as a “drop-in” upper receiver assembly for any standard M16/M4 type lower receiver, it was initially designated as HKM4, but following law suit from Colt it was renamed to HK-416. Other improvements include new buffer assembly, improved bolt, and a cold hammer forged barrel, as well as free-floating hand guard with integral Picatinny-type rails. The “new” gas system also is self-regulating and will work reliably with any barrel length. This system replaced the direct gas system of standard M16 rifle, so no powder residue will remain in the receiver even after long shooting sessions.

Based on the experience, gained during successful upgrade program of the British SA80 / L85A1 program, HK decided to cure the existing M16 rifles and M4 carbines from most of their problems, inherent to this 40-years old design.The key improvements, made by HK, are their patented short-stroke gas piston system, borrowed from HK G36 rifle. HK416:Following the revision of the OICW Block 1/XM8 program, the Heckler & Koch company decided to enter the US military and law enforcement markets with the alternative design.
