How am I doing?

Which one did you get?

The Tokyo Marui version

It is the most expensive, but as soon as I fired it I knew I was buying it.

There is a TM HK416 DEVGRU edition now, I might be mistaken but it looks like it is just external changes - silencer, vertical foregrip, pistol grip and single point stock tube sling point plus the iron sights and butt stock are changed.

Sods law that became available just after I bought my gun as most of those changes are what I will do anyway lol.

DEVGRU is what Seal Team 6 used to be called btw, or rather what succeeded it.

I know I said I wanted something other than a TM but it sounds pretty cool. Might get one at the end of the year, currently in the process of buying my first house at the moment. http://www.airsoftgames.com/marui-hk416d-p-1237.html

House can wait. Guns can't
Devgru was seal team 6? Sort of makes sense. I thought it was people who made uber-real load outs cause dey iz da best

while we're on the TM M4/armalite train, echigoya are doing free shipping on SOCOM, SOPMOD and CQBR recoil shock guns right now, I just picked up a recoil shock M4A1 SOCOM for £270... for that money you CANNOT buy a better gun.

IIRC there's a question hanging over the VFC 416 reliability, no?

BTW, does anyone know if you can buy a 416 receiver on its own?

Yeah I forget the specifics but some of the internals seem to give up the ghost after a couple of months, but they get hilariously mixed reviews.

Hurricane make a 416 receiver kit which is meant to be pretty decent.

I know a few lads that have had major issues with their VFC 416s and 417s. I have had no major issues with my VFC (not a 416) just the tappet plate broke. Other than that it is epic and i use it more than my TM SCAR.

Just to clarify: DEVGRU is the shorthand for United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (NSWDG). Seal Team Six was officially disbanded in 1987.

I should also add it is only DEVGRU who use HK416s, all other SEAL teams use M4s as their 5.56 platform

Where did you get the rail for the Mp5?

Ebay from china. Full metal and only £35

Not sure about other makes but on the tokyo marui i had to cut some of the gun away but when the hand guard is on you can't see it.

EDIT: A good point about this seller is he paid for most of my customs charges. I complained that he advertised free p&p and he refunded me £10 towards the £12 charges. Got to love the Chinese!

I own a JG Mp5 (Marui clone) so it should fit. Thanks for linking it, how long did it take to get to you?

2 maybe 3 weeks, it was a few months ago. That might of been just the delay from customs.
