ludey-dudey Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 hey ludey-dudey, if you dont have yet a bunch of magazine for your VFC 416, i'd recommend you to get the GHK G5 mag or the Gen2 GHK Stanag magazines and modify it. Much much better performance than the VFC mags, heavier though . 300gm vs 500gm. yeah ive read preious posts about this mod...umm...wouldnt class myself as the "king of mods" tbh, give most things a try thou. i have 4 mags total at the min 1 of which is the one thats being a *badgeress* but the others are all good. i love the grey on black mags - look so cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ludey-dudey Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 morning gents... just had a email from redwolf airsoft about my faulty mag (sent them a video of the issue) & there posting me a new one out today...cant say fairer than that. i wonder if i file the top down on the faulty one if i can get it to work, would be a bonus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProfHappyCat Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 ah thats good bud! I've a mag thats current leaking out of every hole imaginable.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
biMMer25 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 One of my Mag also is leaking on the mag release valve and there's no way I can stop the leaking. I'll pick up some azimuth mag valve then couple of GHK mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProfHappyCat Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 One of my Mag also is leaking on the mag release valve and there's no way I can stop the leaking. I'll pick up some azimuth mag valve then couple of GHK mag. I'm just going to split my mag into bits for spares, it's leaking from the top valve, the back plate of the magazine, (take the shell of to see), one of the screws that's holding the back plate in place. And then when I discharge the gas to attempt to fix it, the rubber magazine fitting gets forced out of place, and half of it protrudes from the top of the mag..

biMMer25 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 When I got mine, my mag also has leak on the body, the back plate also. I fixed mine by putting some sort of sealant and the body doesn't leak now. The only leaking part and I cant seem to fix is the output valve or release valve. I think it's the o-ring but I cant find the right size on the market to replace the stock one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got some lying around, if placed on the actual "joining" of the mag pieces and then sanded. in terms of the release valve etc, I'm sure I saw something on WGC last night while shopping around for mag parts. I'm not too sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not too sure. I use a window sealant on mine coz that's only the available one . I just applied it around the gasket, a nasty looking finish but gets the job done. For the release valve, yeah that's the azimuth valve. Upon doing some research, i found out that my VFC mags are actually the pre 2012 version. The release valve is thinner than the new one, the gas port opening was also smaller and it leaks. Oh well, will be fixed soon by getting the new valve from azimuth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 That's damned hop unit is out of stock everywhere I swear! I don't want to mess it up in my only hop unit.. I haven't had any issues with mags locking in so far :/ Order directly from VFC...they will sell you directly most replacement parts. I have ordered many parts including the hop unit without issue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ospf Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Is it worth modifying the standard G&P PMAGs to work in the VFC 416 D ? ( I mean standard PMAG not the custom one ). Has anyone done it yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
biMMer25 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Is it worth modifying the standard G&P PMAGs to work in the VFC 416 D ? ( I mean standard PMAG not the custom one ). Has anyone done it yet? If you have a WA type unit, it is better to shorten the firing pin of your VFC 416 so that you can still use your G&P PMAG on your WA type gun. But to answer your question, yest you can mod it. Just shorten the mag valve and file some portion of the PMAG shell. See my previous post/photo regarding the modification of GHK G5 Mag, though not a Magpul PMAG but almost identical to a PMAG design 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

L2E Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I wonder if the new hop unit in the 417 will work in the 416? I can't wait to get a 417 to test if it works in the 416... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Order the 417 hop from VFC directly. Edited July 14, 2014 by 3vi1-D4n Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait to get a 417 to test if it works in the 416... possibly, we need someone with both to test! I'm not sure if I want to get the 417, I mean, it's going to be gorgeous, but, I'll only want to build a G28.. which will cost more money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Order the 417 hop from VFC directly. Not available yet...I already asked about it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batmause Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Has the V4/2014 model the same hopup chamber/rubber as the last 2013/V3 model? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Has the V4/2014 model the same hopup chamber/rubber as the last 2013/V3 model? I would assume yes. The FB post about the changes did not include anything about a new hop unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
