Sorry chris, my pricing is based on me getting a friend of mine in tokyo to buy one and post it to me since his local shop stocks them.

At £40 you can GTFO, the Baton ones are like £25

Initial impressions of the VFC/Umarex HK417 AEG

Right, ran this rifle this weekend at a 36 hour game at cope hill this weekend, some good points and bad points. The mid caps. Absolutely rubbish the springs can't handle a .28 (all I had since I ran out of .25's) Springs need to be removed from the mags and broken in since they get incredibly stiff after 80 or so rounds. 1 of my mid caps broke while being loaded, the little release switch on the top flew off. Range was impressive, although not as much adjustability in the hop as I'd like it still performed admirably, and managed to rack up some nice hits with it. For it -
Cheers dude, I've bought the Ris unit in question for the princely sum of £120 shipped It's brand new and I know midwayuk charge £260 for it ! even if it doesn't fit on the TM I've still got a spare upper I'm building for another rifle that it would suit.

Any one here know the compatibility of a RS ris with a TM sop mod? Specifically a Troy VTAC?

That's the good thing about the shop he's always friendly so much so that I very rarely leave once I'm there!

Will do, I'll be getting the mags ready in anticipation for sunday . From what I gathered when I was bringing the FPS down it's a Version 2 so It can take gears etc, I didn't really take a good look at it since I wanted to be in and out quickly but it's the redesign of it that allows the different grip since it's at a different angle, if I have to take it apart again I'll take some pictures when I do so but I'm one of those people that doesn't fiddle unless necessary. -

Reference to my post above, the midcaps for the gun don't work in conjunction with an XL speedloader, and It's been fine on an 11.1v so far -

Got a marui pistol speedloader, rewired it to deans and I've got a new hop rubber here waiting to see what the performance is like after a woodland game this week. -
Roger will do mate, I've ordered a Troy battle rid for mine and I've gotten a vltor stock for the sop mod for a bargain price of £100 for the pair next on the purchase list is the lower.

I might be selling mine, it depends does anyone know whether that echigoya receiver for the recoils is ready to ship it says pre order but I don't fancy dropping all of that cash for it to be a waste of money?

Right bit of an after report on my rifle. Took it with me to a game, charged the batteries etc, set down to bombing up my mags and I hit a snag. turns out you can't fill them up with a marui XL speed loader, which meant I was buggered and unable to use the damn thing. -

The fit on this is much better than the VFC 416 since that had a mahooosive gap between the receivers, this sits more flush and mine also feels rock solid the hop unit appears to have been redesigned to fit into the receiver and is wider to give it that much more stability. cheers -

I've got one Blade runners post the externals are beautifully done, there's been a lot of attention to detail the grip feels slimmer not quite as slim as a PTW or GBB but noticeably different to an AEG. The trigger on an 11.1v lipo is crisp and as long as your keeping the bursts relatively short I don't foresee any issues anytime soon fingers crossed, the ROF on a 7.4v is average, accuracy out of the box for my one seems to be average 50m give or take with a .25 nice decent groupings no uber range or accuracy but it is skirmish able however the FPS on mine seemed closer to 370 so I've tri
