I think this is the same internals, I did indeed want the 416A5: officially licensed by H&K, fully ambi with little guard thingies around the controls*, improved magwell. It seems like H&K on top of their game putting 50 years worth of observation on the AR platform to good effect. Then I saw this and realised it was essentially the same thing but a bit cheaper and it's close enough, it's the older 416 externals improved with larger trigger guard and left handed mag release basically. If the internals are the same they seem damn good, almost silent gearbox, mosfet, very consistent shooter (with only 5% flyers of the bio .28s), once the hop is worn in a bit I hope to be doing 60 yards.
Simple question bud apart from the battery mod what do you think is needed to be done to the TM ?
I hear you, quality externals with junk inside seems to be an airsoft bugbear. But Combat UK reckoned it was effectively a pre upgraded gun, as compared to cheaper VFC ARs that I was also perusing.
I agree that it isn't a direct comparison. I've had the opportunity to use the TM and I did love some the unique features BUT, are they worth an additional £130 over the VFC? Then taking into consideration that none of my existing mags will work with the TM, another additional cost. Add in the LiPo conversion (which would invalidate manufacturer warranty from TM?) and in my own opinion, the balance started to tip towards the VFC.
Nothing needs to be done to it, I'm just an eternal tinckerer!
I'm still waiting on mine to arrive from ShootersCB!
Haven’t fielded it yet , but first impressions are very good . The build quality appears top notch ‘feels’ good and solid , optics lovly and clear (even with the kill flash fitted) and it’s a really nice sharp red dot to it as well .?
The one you're using at the moment
Ok cheers i only have the one so far i hardly use full auto would this last me most of the day till i can get new oneThe one you're using at the moment
wouldn't use anything more than 7.4v in a TM without redoing the internals..
Ok cheer mate i only have one battery i can borrow one if i need to i just womt be able to get any more by tomorrow so its all good thanks for the advice give me a reason to use full auto more hahaIt's hard to say, depends massively on how much shooting you do!
Full auto actually uses less battery power to by the way
Most sites have on site charging or at least a power source, you could always top yours up at lunch if you've been heavy on the trigger!
Doesn't hurt to carry a second battery regardless.
I have a rhino 1750mah Lipo for mine, it is the exact size of the battery compartment and I have never used more than 1 a day. I don’t auto much. If at all.
