morb Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi Benson, Tnx for your quick reply, much appreciated! I've checked the bucking and it seems fine, yesterday evening i've replaced the plastic hop up unit with a metal one which i still have lying around here from an old G3. (didn't had the chance to test it though) Hop up unit seems to be fine, spring seems also to be ok. I've replaced this one actually last night as well.. but as mentioned before, still couldn't test it. You talking about this spring compression, how do i completely decompress it? Just fire a round off in semi? To be honoust, it shot 275 fps straight out of the box... my last cqb skirm i've only shot with semi but i didn't check this decompression thingie... Thanks for the tips! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oicurpn Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I was hopeing some one would know a good supplyer for the VFC gearbox and reciver parts Im looking for a new gearbox with the bolt release part i broke mine as well i am looking for the part# HK-26 thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oicurpn Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 My gun builder managed to retain the the bolt lock feature with a systema box, he said that you need to replicate two mounting points on the right side of the gearbox. He used cut down screws to replicate it, but it works. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> could you take some pics as i broke mine off and would like to do the same thing your guy did thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oicurpn Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 hey guys I'm installing a new grip and I have walked in to a problem with it fiting properly I can get it in the grip with some force but when i fire the gun it sound like the gears are grinding. once i got it in right but after a few shots it seamed to pop out of position and make no contiact at all i am using a systema heat sink. I was thinking of using some spacers to keep it down there but not to hard as I have blowen a few fuzes because its to tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oicurpn Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ok, so I just got my Magpul MIAD grip and its great, except for that fact that now I've installed it, my gun does not work anymore. When I pull the trigger, I get this horrible metal-on-metal sound, as if the motor is grinding against something. Any ideas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the same thing is happening to me but i can see in to the gearbox and the gears are not striped its like the motor is not making full contact to the gearbox and skipping threw each trigger pull how can i adjust the motor hight??

Benson Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I had that same problem when I installed a King Arms G27 grip, but despite having to file down some parts of the grip to make it seat correctly, I think it's still causing my motor to misalign. I'm going to ditch that grip for now and stick with the stock one, as I'm basically just trying to get the gun to work at this point. I've got my crane stock installed and wired, and the 416 looks a lot better with a crane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pingpong Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 wow. i have a G&P SPR grip and so far no problems! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jyden Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi, Just about to get some upgrades for my gun: G&P HK416 Type Fix Stock ( Black ) - GP-ACC-601B - US$38.00 Systema Low Resistance Switch Assembly - SYS-ZS-07-15 - US$29.50 Systema Irregular-Pitch Spring M120 Oil Temper - SYS-ZA-06-04 - US$12.40 Systema Spring Guide with Bearing - SYS-ZS-05-04 - US$15.30 Systema Cut Off Lever - SYS-ZS-07-09- US$9.70 Systema Selector Plate - SYS-ZS-07-12 - US$8.30 Systema Silicon Piston Head - SYS-ZS-04-32 - US$15.30 But now I'm getting uncertain, if I'm missing anything for making it work. When changing the switch assembly, do I then need any other wireing? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pingpong Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 prolly not. the low res should have enough wire for u.. just dean connector em. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpartanJ Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) What hop ups and bucking are people using to upgrade? would something like this work? http://www.uncompany.com/pageproductdetails.asp?prodid=10068 Id also like to know what kind of assembly switch to use if possible... thank you.

Squeak Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 True, just wish i could justify spending that much on one gun and what with the SCAR coming out soon i'm torn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benson Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Considering the accessories it comes with, not a bad deal IMO. Too bad they don't replace the problematic internal parts though. If you think about it though, I'm sure a number of us have spent a considerable amount more than that price on a conventional AEG. Not in one big purchase, but over time with all the expensive internal/external upgrades and accessories that we all love to add on. One thing I've learned from my CA249, is it pays to spend a grand on an AEG. Edited August 14, 2007 by Benson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ErikBobbo Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Mine shoots 320-330 and i never had a problem with the GB I didnt cause... The body is genious. I didnt have to mod anything to rewire it! Edited August 14, 2007 by ErikBobbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jyden Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Anyone know if there's any takedown guides out there? Tried searching here, and on Google, but no luck so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Puding Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I just purchanced my hk416 and the items need to upgrade it to work well the only problem is im having problems getting at the mechbox, i;ve followed a version m4a1 break down as far as i can and have the mechbox and lower half of the shell together but i can not get them apart, as far as i can work out have to remove one of the pins from the centre of the body but they both seem to be stuck fast. I've already got a small bit of paint coming off the top of one of the pins so i do not want to do any more untill i've sort some help. Has anyone else had problems with this pin and any advice on which one i need to remove and how without screwing with the lovely finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benson Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Ok, I'm not trying to violate any forum rules here, so if I am, just delete this. I've got sort of an interesting "problem" with my 416. When I first got it, I encountered the cutoff lever problem almost right away. I eventually sent the gun to AEX to fix that problem, as well as put in some new CA gears to replace the VFC ones (primarily because I don't trust that spring loaded shim system). Now onto the interesting part.... Is anyone getting an incredibly good seal between the hopup unit and the gearbox? I'm not sure how much I can say here, but I typically run a medium powered spring, nothing too extreme, but greater than 1J because I like to preserve my internals. Well, following AEX's repair/upgrade service, I took my 416 to an OP today, and it chrono'ed a no-go! The chrono limits are pretty standard for this particular park as I see the same limits at just about every other game I go to. The gun surpassed that limit significantly. The only explanation is there being a real good seal within the hopup/gearbox, but I haven't ever seen it make this much of a difference. What I essentially need to do is swap my existing spring lower to only a 1J spring! Then maybe this gun will pass chrono. If anyone wants any more specific info and figures then please feel free to PM. I'm just trying to find out how the hell its readings were what they were. Even after playing all day with a backup AEG, I'm still pretty shocked about the whole thing. Edited August 19, 2007 by Benson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 What mid level spring did you have in the gun and what are your chrono limits? Im assuming 350 since thats generally considered "mid" level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
