Ilupis Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 If you've never opened a gear box before, I'd recommend having the shop do it for you. The switch assembly you need is the version for the M4A1, XM177 and CAR15. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One can never learn how to do it if one never does it himself right? How about that King arms vertical foregrip then, did you got it already alpha54? I'm very curious about the fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pingpong Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 when i rewired my gearbox.. i basiclly redid the WHOLE wire set. low resistant wires from the contacts al the way back to the battery connectors. if youve opened a m16 gearbox before.. it looks exactly like that. if airsoftplayer was still on.. ide have a picture already of how to wire it to the rear.

alpha54 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 How about that King arms vertical foregrip then, did you got it already alpha54? I'm very curious about the fit. Sadly I haven't got it yet... One of the parts I ordered was out-of-stock, so they will ship the order sometime this week once they've gotten a hold of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aber_guy11 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Alright, so I have to replace the switch assembly. How do I get the gearbox out of the lower receiver? I can't figure out how to get the mag catch off...help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

n00bTard Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I had problems with the mag catch too - you have to push it in as far as it can go, then rotate the arm - be very careful when trying to clear the bolt release not to scratch anything up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aber_guy11 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Ok, so it just takes finesse. I saw how you needed to do it, I was just wondering if there was some trick to make it easier. Alright, thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pingpong Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 i found a way to make it easier to remove the mag release... im just debating if i should share my secrets.... ok here how u do it hehe do what you gotta do... and then when u wanna take the mag release off.. (have the upper off the lower).. to make it easier.. u gotta remove the bolt release.. to do that.. press down on that thing on the opposite side of the bolt release.. (press dowwards) and then remove the bolt release.. everything else should be.. common sense. hope that helps everyone.. the hell im sure itll help EVERYONE haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aber_guy11 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 So it makes it easier if you remove the bolt release first? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pingpong Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 So it makes it easier if you remove the bolt release first? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Correct!.. the bolt release button that is. because the mag release arm can clear the thing easier. but yea try it. ull be amazed =D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0nslaught Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 sorry to be off topic but, it has to do with my vfc hk416 i want. my mom and dad told me i had a secret savings account, and it seems i have about $1500 in there....hopefully i can get my mom to agree to let me take some money out so i can get the hk416 sooner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do think it needs a new cut-off lever though, but the buyer can buy that inexpensive part almost anywhere. I recommend the Guarder steel cut-off lever. I would buy one,but I don't have anymore money to spend on this baby anymore....spent the last $730 of my money on it and I need to pay of my debt now. I'm terrible with credit cards.

Hauk Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi guys. I've decided to start saving for my HK-416 again. And I have looked at all the parts that I would like in the rifle. So far I have the following: 1. VFC HK-416 DX (with both barrel lengths) US$505 2. Systema Low Resistence Switch Assembly US$29.50 3. Tasco 3-9X50mm Scope US$47.50 4. G&P 25mm Mount Rings US$20 5. G&P M16 Solid Stock US$45 Installation fee for Systema Switch assemby: ~US$30/40 Total: US$687 I think I'll be able to raise that amount of money in time. And I did a concept photoshop for you all to see. And I was thinking of adding a bipod. But I'm not sure. Any input on that? And, is there any other parts you think I should add so that the reliability of the rifle will increase? Thanks a mill' Hauk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge133 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I would like to say, damn you all. I am having trouble deciding between a CA M15 and the VFC HK416 enough as it is. But this battle isn't really between them, it's if I want a carbine or rifle. I just can't decide between the two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0nslaught Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 if you get the VFC hk416 DX version, you can have both carbine and rifle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I count any rifle with a barrel under 16" a carbine. I'm odd like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0nslaught Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I count any rifle with a barrel under 16" a carbine. I'm odd like that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> o lol, i still say vfc hk416 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Headhunter3 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 your still debating sarge? whats the hold up, get a HK already! ok, seriously what are you having a hard time deciding on? looks?, function? brand? if you think about it an AEG is pretty much an AEG it all shoots the same. so it must be either brand or looks. if you get the hurricane you get 3 lengths....10, 14.5, 16.5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Lol, mostly my debate is looks. Right now it is about what do I want to get first. I will be getting both eventually I just sent in for a quote on my HK416 and it will cost $708 shipped from UnCo including installation of stock and wire assembly. Compared to $340 on the M15, so yeah I guess it a question of how much do I really want to spend. Don't be surprized on how long it takes me to decide, I've been trying to figure out what I want for about half a year now as I slowly saved money for the rifle I finally pick. I just now have finally got it down to two rifles that I want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirRage Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hey what's VFC's correct email? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Funny that you ask that but i emailed them saying whats the deal with the Swich assembly. Should i get a new one or leave as it does have problems. No reply whatesoever from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I emailed them too - no reply yet. It was strange - when I removed my switch, I saw tell-tale signs that someone had attempted to file it down to be a better fit - just like had been discussed as a possible fix earlier in this thread. This leads me to believe that AirsoftGI sent me either a return, or one that they had attempted to fix in-store before sending it out. Mine of course had the auto-lock problem during its first skirmish. I was tempted to just send it back, but I had the parts to fix it so I went ahead and opened it up. I'm still really irked though that this is a known issue that retailers are trying to fix before sending out the guns, and its still happening. At least mine is fixed, but it would be nice to get a response from VFC on the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
