It has the tool pins not standard the serial numbers don’t match upper and lower I have no idea why at 4K. It’s an MR556 with some add ons. Trinkets and such IDK I like it. I carried an A2 an M4A1 so I’m not an expert but I really like the SDO and RMR combo.

So it’s just an MR556 with 11” hand guard and different markings with an MSRP of $4399, I’m not impressed nor is it surprising considering HK & Germany rules/laws that HK USA has to follow.
OP unless you have to have the MR27 markings the cheaper option would be just get an MR556A1 for $3200 and then shop around online or the EE for the 11” rail for around $400. You’ll come out ahead with money for other accessories like the KAC NT4 FH, Harris bipod and rail adapter, plus others for the same price of the “tribute” rifle.
