The rifle’s barrel is also now free floated improving accuracy. A new custom forend from H&K has been added and a full-length top rail improves optic mounting. The rifle is also cerakoted flat dark earth. The A3 upgrade fixes issues with the over-rotation of the selector lever, adds a new upper receiver and refurbishes the lower.

There has been no comment on the contract from Heckler & Koch as yet, nor an official statement from the MoD. The A2 upgrade is said to have cost £400 per rifle (a somewhat conservative estimate), while the A3 upgrade does include new upper receivers the cost seems prohibitively high. This gives a roughly estimated per rifle cost of £1,700, expensive when compared to the cost of a milspec M4 for example. The contract is reported to be worth £75 million or $95.6 million.

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) issued a notice on the 28th October that NSAF Ltd., the UK subsidiary of Heckler & Koch, will be contracted to upgrade 44,000 rifles to A3 standard.
