aznriptide859 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 There's still a button-style release. I don't see one (sorry I meant the lever one on the bottom of the receiver). Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan452 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Why??? One, because it seems to make more sense to me having the gun all one colour, rather than having a sandy, desert coloured gun (and your wearing full DDPM or tan kit to match for example) then having a bloody great black tube standing out like a Rottweilers nut sack. lol, you said nuts and sack right next to each other Link to post Share on other sites

Robinio Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Maybe you should try to switch the O-rings, also when not using a gas mag store just a little bit of gas in them. Link to post Share on other sites
RC-1138 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 My new DBoy/Boyi 416... oh how pretty it is... *drools on gun and quickly wipes it off* (not sure if you can make it out but there's an H&K mark on the outer barrel along with 5.56 x 45mm BtW it's very close in feel to a VFC... a bit on the rough side but very solid (no stock wobble) and the metal used in the receiver doesn't feel like potmetal, better than CA receivers at least. I know the outerbarrel is Al. for sure. The RAS, which I was most worried about is solid and locked dead in place. Also the bloody thing as you can see is COVERED in trades.... soooo worth it... Haven't shot it yet though... Link to post Share on other sites

SgtBojangles Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Eww, shiney metal on PC Otherwise, the weapon looks nice! Puts my Echo1 "614" to shame in terms of external quality. Link to post Share on other sites
RC-1138 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Eww, shiney metal on PC It's a Cadet thing, so to be fair it IS an actual US Army cap insignia and part of our uniform guide. And yes the the 416 is quite nice. I'm writing a review and once I get my new LiPoly in the mail I'll be able to give it a good shooting test. It's supposed to be pretty hot out of the box so I might order an M110 just to be safe. Link to post Share on other sites

RC-1138 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) RSOV. As I said in the news thread for the BOYI HK416, they'll ship to the US with intact HK trades, just ask them in the buying instructions to place tape over the trademarks. That and be ready for a decent wait, mine took about 3 weeks to get to me. Worth it though... How do you have a 10th Mountain patch as a combat patch? You're a cadet, but... ? Well, while this doesn't apply to me, you can be a combat vet and be a cadet. We have about 50 guys who have CAB's or CIB's in my class alone. Probably another 50-80 are what we call "prior service" guys who enlisted but due to great high school grades/performance in their unit get appointed to the academy. I'm wearing at that moment cause I like the 10th Mtn patch and it looks cool. Plus that's the unit I'll probably end up in since I'm putting Ft. Drum as my posting and Infantry or MP's as my branch, so either I'll be a 10 MTN PL or an MP PL attached to a 10th MTN unit. Either way I love the patch and I dont take any glory pics without one.

I'm debating between this one and the JG Full metal 416 at RSOV...The Dboys has a really nice kit, but I'm curious if the JG has better internals/externals which would sway me towards the JG. Thanks!

I've held the JG and while I cant yet speak of the internals the externals on the Dboys absolutely trumpts the JG. Much more solid and feels alot better. Link to post Share on other sites
RC-1138 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Me and my bravo delta friend here have an ongoing spat about that stuff... anyway more pics of the gun! I've been asked about the gun's reliability and whatnot. Can't comment on that yet, as I haven't had a chance to shoot it and won't for a good few weeks. The lipoly I ordered is on back order and... yeah that sucks. As far as internals go I hate taking apart forward wired guns (I inevitably strip the wires :S ) but I may take this one apart since I plan to do some work on both forward upgrades on the box and a few standard forward upgrades.
