Say hello to my little friend. New member of the family. TM HK417 with VFC short rail, VFC flip up front sight, and Angry Gun 7.62 suppressor. No upgrades yet. Will probably run it stock for cqb through the winter.
-
Found this on the web. it`s in Japanese. Could still be useful to some.....
-
That "plastic feeling" with the fire selector is quite common. I`ve seen an ASAP like rear sling mount by Laylax floating about on Amazon Japan. But have yet to see it in any HK store.

Which after market parts are we likely to get for this gun?. So far I`ve noticed the front receiver pin and an ASAP like rear sling mount. Both from Laylax.
The H&K rear sling mount and an enhanced lock ring for the buffer tube would be nice. Would also love to have the 20" barrel. The one from VFC is always "out of stock".
Laylax, are you reading?
-
Sounds very good!
Which bb weight were you using?
-
I know there were some issues with the extensions on the L119 barrels. Have no knowledge about the other barrels.
-
Pro Arms I belive.

Thank you Krawata! That`s more or less the route I intend to take. But I`ve decided to r-hop it and install an Orga Magnus barrel. So my guess is that I`ll need the up and coming Eagle6 M130 spring to reach 450 fps. Have you fired it? How is range and accuracy?
-
Very tempted to put Orga Magnus 433 mm barrel and cylinder in there.

Redwolf has done a review of the 417.
Nothing new really. But they confirm that the 417 has a heavier recoil unit than the M4.
Anyone opened up their 417s?
-
That`s reasons good enough. But but if you choose the 20", you`ll need a new inner barrel I think. Just like on the recce, the stock inner barrel ends by the gas block. So already the inner barrel is about 10 cm too short for the 16". Ad another 10 cm for the 20" barrel, and there might be a problem. Maybe boost the fps a little by installing a bit longer 6.02 inner barrel?
-
Get the 20" extension from VFC and you`re sorted.
And there is more good news for those wishing to build a recoil dmr. Richard from Eagle6 mentioned on Facebook that he probably will be running a test batch of Eagle6 M130 and M140 springs.
These springs will hopefully get the fps quite close to 450. Hopefully they won`t do too much damage to the gear box. But Richard usually knows what he is doing. My guess is that the M130 will give you about 410-430 fps, and the M140 will give you 430-450.
-
Hopefully he does.
Will work well for his brit, yank and norgie load outs.Placed an order with Eagle6. Battery adapter inbound, so no need for me to have the gun rewired. Happy days!
-
But you do need one. A 20" HK417 is just what you need for your Norwegian kit.
Hopefully a BTC new v.2 mosfet will fit in this gun as well.

Echigoya delivered again. My TM 417 has arrived.
I´m sorry, but atm I`m not able to fire it since I haven`t got any recoil batteries. My intension is to keep it rear wired, but with a deans plug. As with most TM recoils, the battery compartment is in the stock.
I have previously owned a VFC 417. So I`ll make a few comparisons.
Just like the VFC, the gun feels rock solid. There is no stock or rail wobble. Though I find the angle of the pistol grip to be slightly awkward compared to the VFC. But it`s probably just a question of getting used to it.
The gun comes with standard iron sights. Unlike the VFC there is no integrated flip up sight on the rail. The color of the rifle is a bit more shiny black, compared to the VFC more grayish black.
The buffer tube is about as thick as the VFC. So no M4 dimensions here if you were worried about that.
Also noticed that there is a small and square hole on top of the stock. Have no idea why it`s there. But it`s not bothering me.
The outer barrel is attached with ccw threads. So my guess is that you can easily change it to a 20"er if you have the VFC 20" extension lying around.
My intention with this gun is to turn it into a dmr. Eagle6 M120 spring, r-hop with Orga Magnus barrel, and a full set of Prometheus internals (if this is the standard M4 recoil gear box).
I also got the impression that the magazines are slightly lighter than the VFC mags, but I could be wrong. It would also be very interesting if anyone could check if the long VFC rail will fit this gun.
This rifle looks very promising. I expect the internals (hop up) to be of the highest quality.
My guess is that the 12" will hit the stores in about 6 months time, and the 20" in about 12 months. But that`s just speculation on my part.
-
Sounds like bs. Read through this topic. I think the 6 shot issue is pretty well covered.
-
That is a very nice gun.

Looks like the wood kit is here: http://laylax.wn.shopserve.jp/SHOP/4571443131089.html

Any idea if the spectre will fitt inside the up and coming Marui 417 gear box?

The BTC Spectre fet has arrived.
That was pretty quick.Now I`ll just have to find a tech with a little spare time on his hands.

It`s a bit annoying. TM obviously has not learned anything from the *suitcasey* lock rings they put on the M4s.
Mistake repeated on the 417s. The lock rings on both my 417s have come loose. And that`s before they`ve been taken to a playing field.
On a more positive note. The range you get with this thing is insane. M130 spring (around 400fps) and r-hop. The bbs fly as far as my eyes
can keep track of them. And we´re talking 0,30s here. I probably will have to change for something even heavier.
