Hi,
I’m a lucky owner of a Tokyo Marui HK416D DevGru which I purchased and upgraded to level 6 at Eagle6.co.uk. Unfortunately, due to "reasons" the gun has been kept in the box for nearly a year! This summer I decided to get back to Airsoft and finally started using my RIF. In the last couple of months, I equipped it with the following:
- MAGPUL Picatinny AFG2 Angled Fore Grip
- Matrix QD Style Mock Suppressor
- Aim-O XPS 3-2 Red/Green Dot
- Aim-O G33 3X Magnifier
- WADSN M600DF Tactical Scout Light
- NUPROL One Point Bungee Sling 1000D
- NUPROL NPQ15 Light/Laser Box
Further upgrades will consist of:
- bringing the internal upgrades to level 10 (by Eagle6)
- new stock (Magpul?)
- new grip (Tokyo Marui?)
- PTS EPM or Magpul magazines
I am extremely happy with this gun's performance and looks. However, I still have a few questions which I hope you'll be able to answer for me:
1. I am using a One-Point Sling which is attached to the designated original holder (see below). Do you think it is a durable enough part to carry the weight of this gun or should I consider a 2-point sling instead?
2. After seeing countless photos of HK416D's equipped with the same collimator and magnifier duo I discovered that they are mounted much further to the front of the rifle, with the red dot sight being pretty much above the magazine slot. However, I find them better suiting my needs when they are attached slightly more to the back, as seen in my pictures. Is this unrealistic?
3. Disregarding the price, would you recommend getting the PTS Magazines or Magpul ones?
I know these questions may seem trivial but please answer them if you can.
Much obliged and thanks for reading!
