DarkLite Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 yeah i know, its surprising! well dboys have HK marked M4 mags... are they not the same? No. The old Dboys '416' mags are just standard m4 mags with '416' trades. The new one included with the DBOYs HK416 is a proper HK416 mag - the magazine is curved, not dogleg'd, made of what seems to be steel and has pressed, not printed, trades. It is also without a winding wheel - you wind it with a small hex key, which is actually very fast. Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic01 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 ah i see i like the dog legged style ones but pressed trades would be nice.... it has no wheel? so when it runs out of tension you have to stop mid battle and get a hex key out? Link to post Share on other sites

It winds in seconds, fully in the safe zone. I'm not joking. I just loaded and fully wound it in about 20 seconds - 15 seconds getting the bbs in, and 5 seconds to get it fully wound. Oh, Camera is being kinder to me today, so woo: Closeups on the trades: Bolt catch! CQB style - I intend to get an EoTech to replace that Comp4 for CQB. Woodland style - SCAR QD suppressor en route for it. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Closeup on the barrel extension. It's easy to put on and solid as hell. Flip up front sight for the 14.5" barrel configuration. Locks in place like a charm. Rear drum sight. Proper HK416 mag that comes with it - notice there's no dogleg. And some arty shots to finish up. Link to post Share on other sites
Quagmired Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Anyone from the US buy from Gunner's before? How exactly do they cover the trades? Is it that putty that eHobby uses that you can etch off with your finger or do they really ruin the trades? I would like to know the answer to this question too. I have a VFC 416, this looks like it would make an excellent back up gun. How is the performance? FPS? RPS? I have never owned a D-Boys Link to post Share on other sites
Zhang Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Does a Lipo fit in the RAS? Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 If its like my ExAGM, no, even so, it would be very difficult to change and charge. I would rewire to the stock and install there a LIPO Link to post Share on other sites
RC-1138 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would like to know the answer to this question too. I have a VFC 416, this looks like it would make an excellent back up gun. How is the performance? FPS? RPS? I have never owned a D-Boys I been wanting to know for awhile. I sent them an email but all they reported back (in broken english) is "we remove the trades." Nothing more specific than that. And on a metal bodied gun I cant imagine how they "permanently" remove the trades or that they even do, as that would be real true damage to the receiver to do so.

DarkLite Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The trades, as far as I can tell, are laser-engraved, so at the very worst, you could strip the paint from the receiver, repaint it and stencil the trades in yourself. Assuming of course they just paint over the trades. I'll see what I can dig up. BTW, inner barrel is 6.08mm. Brass, decent crown. Hop-up unit is a bit wank, would recommend replacing.

Isamu Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hop-up unit is a bit wank, would recommend replacing. Suggestions? i dont know a lot about hop units :S Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic01 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 i hear the prometheus neo hop chambers are REALLY good thinking of getting one myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 by that price they must be godlike, but Im on a budget... dont know if getting an element, metal guarder or G&P, hop Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The ELEMENT is a good one, especially for the price. Excellent seal, holds its setting well and allows for very small adjustments - but it's bright red. That sometimes can be an issue. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 yeah, thats what im reading... must rethink about element brand quality Looks like i will be adding an element hop to the order as I dont care for the color since it will be into de AEG seriously, why can it be an issue? :S Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlesticks4220 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 like in classic army guns the dust cover will stay down and u can see the chamber Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Im not very experienced on airsoft, but I allways play with my dust cover closed :S anyway, cant wait for a more in depth review Link to post Share on other sites
Quagmired Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 If you are interested in the Prometheus Neo chamber, redwolf is the only place I can find that has them in stock. I ordered one and it will arrive tomorrow along with some other promy parts. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ehobbyasia has them on stock too Link to post Share on other sites
RC-1138 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 To those in the US interested: Got my email back from gunner's, they will not ship to the US with intact trades and they remove them by dremilling them off. So... yeah that means they probably wont sell many of these to US customers... Ehobbyasia has them on stock too Where? I can't find them on there. Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic01 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 well darklite is in Edinburgh and im in london so hopefully mine will get here in mint condition.... even if i placed my order Saturday and havent heard anything back yet... Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Don't know if it was posted but it's at RSOV as well. http://rsov.com/index.php?target=products&...product_id=3516 Wonder if they'll ship to the US with trades Link to post Share on other sites
RC-1138 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah if anyone finds someone that does PLEASE tell us poor Americans EDIT I sent them an Email so hopefully they either a) ship with no alterations or just us putty (which has always worked with me and most oversea's buyers in the past).
