M.B.Mathiasen Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 First off, a lot of the 2011 and beyond era HK416s and all the MR556 (US civi version) come with a plastic dustcover.. Really? I stand corrected then. I was sure that the HK416s had a metal dustcover, but that might just as well have been the earlier versions then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gijohn2 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 First off, a lot of the 2011 and beyond era HK416s and all the MR556 (US civi version) come with a plastic dustcover. Second off, there are only two major faults in regard to authenticity with the Iron Airsoft kit: (1.) The HK AF mark on the upper receiver should be white laser etch, not deeply engraved, (2.) like you mentioned, serial number does not begin as 88. It is annoying that the trades are not filled in from the factory, but it's fairly easy to do yourself and get the colors exactly right. I use crayon on my trades, Works well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmitz Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Some internal pictures i ended up taking: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/4037018/1/416?h=f26e2b Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gijohn2 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I see they still use the crappy plastic fire selector on the left hand side -.- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmitz Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Does feel nice and solid though, so i can't complain. Clicks beautifully too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Buenaventura Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 very nice!!...im in the usa...can i order this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freon Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Another question... what about the quality of the internals? I've read on some asian forums negatives comments about it at least on the M4A1. BCG breaks easily and need to be replaced, triger group is not hard enough and break and other issues. Thanks again! ah! and thanks for the pics! I had this problem with my VFC MK18 MOD1, also waiting for news on durability because I currently have 7 VFC GBB mags doing nothing in my closet.

DesertFox Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I thought someone on this forum got the new BCG for his old hk416 and reported that it has been holding up no problem. As for the pot metal internals it doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't break Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmitz Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I've done a test fire today at about 40 meters shooting 0,30's. It's not the most precise gun out there, but it's skirmishable. Full auto kept straight shots even on 8-9 bb bursts, and i felt minimal cooldown all through. This was done at about 20 degrees celsius. LE: The mag fits exactly 30 rounds, not 35. Edited January 28, 2012 by Cosmitz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CoolHeart_ASN Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 AFAIK, VFC is selling an all steel internals set (trigger and firing system) but don't know how good is it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 AFAIK, VFC is selling an all steel internals set (trigger and firing system) but don't know how good is it. I wonder if bolt carrier is also steel, steel trigger mech is useless without steel carrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 See I really want to buy the VFC 417! Though ive heard nothing but bad things about the 416 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmitz Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 AFAIK, VFC is selling an all steel internals set (trigger and firing system) but don't know how good is it. Got a link for that, or a quote from an email from VFC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_akira Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi, I saw this on eHobbyAsia, but for VFC M4 GBB Package with 35 Rounds Gas Operated Magazine (Also compatible with optional WA / Pro-Win M4 GBB Magazine with slightly modification) Is that true? Can be done with the VFC HK416??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I belive you have to remove a part and they work but I don't think the bolt catch will work when using WA mags though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
