JG has one around that is pretty close (Hurricane type 614). It comes w/ a buffer tube and is only $40 so it is probably not the best. Just a heads up.

i found this on airsoft world

The new type H&K crane stock will not be sold separately, as H&K did not give Umarex the license to do so; apparently they fear that replica stocks could mistakenly find their way onto real firearms.

i also learned thast the new version 416 has the same hopup as the new 417

I'm not sure if they are actually working on one though. Hopefully.

Oh man !
 

Okay, now I'm dissapointed! Ya got my hopes up and then dashed them...sigh.

So anyone bought 417 yet?

Has any one heard anything about longer versions yet? Or even barrel extensions and 12 inch RIS for this gun?

I'm curious on the hop-up. Is it a redesign v2 hop-up to go with their new v2.2 gearbox? Any pictures on the internals?

417
 

Well If you want one Toronto Airsoft has them in stock. They also have the 416 instock as well. The 416 is almost $200 more than what my friend paid for and brought up from Airsoft GI. Oh well.

The 416 on Toronto Airsoft is not the v2 no?

I contacted VFC through their facebook asking about longer versions of the HK417, they replied:
"Elite Force will release HK417 350C, which is 350 pieces limited HK417 sniper version."

Oh dear, limited to 350 pieces... makes me want one of them even more.

Try SR25 mag pouches.

Wouldnt G36 pouches work?
