The Heavy-Caliber Solution for Extended Engagements
The HK417 A2 is the “big brother” to the legendary HK416, chambered in the powerful 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) cartridge. Adopted globally as a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) and Battle Rifle, it provides overmatching capabilities against hard targets and threats at extended distances. As an authorized government provider, PAI Defense ensures that these mission-critical systems are delivered with the highest level of compliance and administrative precision required for your agency’s procurement roadmap.
Advanced Technical Architecture
-
Short-Stroke Gas Piston System: Like the 416, the HK417 A2 operates on a proprietary gas piston mechanism that prevents hot gases and carbon fouling from entering the weapon’s interior, ensuring maximum reliability and significantly reducing cleaning time.
-
Tuned Gas Regulator: Features a tool-less, adjustable gas regulator specifically optimized to manage the higher pressures of the 7.62mm cartridge, allowing seamless transitions between suppressed and unsuppressed fire.
-
True Ambidexterity: The A2 variant introduces fully ambidextrous operating controls, including the bolt catch/release, magazine release, and safety selector, ensuring immediate familiarity for all operators.
-
Extended Range Precision: Combined with Heckler & Koch’s Cold Hammer Forged (CHF) barrel technology, the HK417 A2 delivers sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition, bridging the gap between an assault rifle and a dedicated sniper system.
