ArniesAirsoft Reviews and Articles

Cazboab has posted his first official Arnies review for the site on the new Deepfire M4. I’ll leave it to him to explain more:

Hi there folks, we’ve got a second review this week, not quite as exclusive, as Marlowe’s kashni-thingy, but Deepfire have sent us one of their new M4s for a look-see, its got titanium gears, titanium piston teeth, titanium coated other buts and I’m pretty sure the titanium is made of titanium.

 

Anyway on the outside its got replicas of some of the fanciest aftermarket AR-15 bits around and German made plastic bits(the only parts on the gun I’m relatively sure haven’t got much titanium in) inside its got Deepfire’s lovely titanium bits, so have a look at the review here. (Cazboab)

Real Steel History: HK416 is a gas operated, selective fired weapon of modular design. It uses short-stroke gas piston that operates the 7-lug rotating bolt. Receiver is made from high grade aluminum alloy. Combination-type safety / fire selector allows for single shots and full automatic mode. Hk416 retains all M16-style controls, including last round bolt hold-open device, rear-based charging handle and magazine release button on the right side of the magazine well. HK416 is fitted with four Picatinny rails as standard, and may accept any type of sighting devices on STANAG-1913 compliant mounts. It also can accept modified HK AG36/AG-C 40mm grenade launcher, which is clamped directly to bottom rail. The buttstock is of typical M4 design, multi-position telescoped.

Ordering: I was fortunate enough to receive a pre-production sample of the TSD/SRC 416 directly from TSD, for the purpose of writing a review. The sample I received does not have all of the TSD requested modifications, namely an M120 spring, 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, and a high strength piston, so the performance of mine will be less than the production models. Pricing wise, TSD’s website, www.airsoftsd.com has the price listed as $398 – $420 USD, depending on barrel length, but my experience with TSD’s listed MSRP is that the actual price is lower. I expect this to come in at less than $400 USD for all models. The model, like all of TSD’s models, includes a warranty, which is 60 days in this case. The 416 is available in three barrel lengths, 10”, 14.5”, and 16”, and will soon come with two stock options, a standard LE stock, with the battery in a mock VITAL-2 laser box, or a Crane stock, with the battery housed in the stock. The model I will be reviewing is the 10” barrel, LE stock version.
