HK 416 all metal AND CHEAP!!!!!!
 

I thought I had my mind made up and was going to get a JG hk416 and then I ran across a link to another forum where someone mentioned this tempting devil!

http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/catalog...roducts_id=975

anybody know anything about the company that makes them? Is this just a JG 416 clone with a metal body? Any info would be much appreciated.

no experiance with agm but it definatly will not be that cheap in canada

also why cheap out when you could put just a few dollars more into your budget and be able to afford a more quality gun?

I saw one in the BST forums for $450. It's not a bad price for a full metal body. If you took a stock JG 416 and added a metal body it'd come to more than that for sure.

Well I live in the US *hides* but I love your forums here. so it would be that cheap for me but after looking around for more info it looks like getting a JG and eventually getting a metal body for it eventually would probably be the best plan of action. I haven't heard one good word about AGM in the research I've been doing since finding this promising find thats now turned disappointing.

That simplifies things a lot... I haven't heard a lot about AGM but a metal body is just not easy to find or get here.

man Im pretty sure I speak for everyone here when I say that you guys in the states are EXTREMELY LUCKY when it comes to airsoft. You have sooo many options when it comes to purchasing guns, we usually resort to the cheaper brands due to the difficulties in importing and the resulting markup involved. keep reading on these boards and you will find info on almost every gun out there

I bought one for 450$ and it has an amazing feeling for the metal body :D

From my experience and reviews from others, AGM isn't a quality product. I've yet to test one of these out but from other reviews and such, it seems as if they cut corners alot. It may come with a metal body but i'd sooner get myself a JG, something that is defiantely more reliable then something that may 'feel' sturdier.

You need to specify...
airsoft = little candy store for them

gun = are kinda like a car shop :banghead: you walk in and get out with it!

I've seen pics of them, and I really don't like the 416 without H&K trades. I don't even like the US version of the VFC 416 without the real trades.

I decided when I started gun shopping that if I get a gun without trades I have a plan... I am going to go to an online custom stencil shop and have "Stark Industries" trades made and paint those on any guns I get without trades on them,that way still have semi-realistic trades and everyone gets a laugh when they look at the trades on my guns. ( Also noting this here for future reference so when everybody starts doing it I can provide a link to this thread:p )

The AGM does have trademarks - AGM ones. I don't know. They just seem to clash on that gun. Usually, I don't give a rat's ass about trademarks unless I'm buying / building the gun as a collector's piece (like my C8). However, those trades on the AGM just look wrong to me. I'd prefer have no trademarks at all than the AGM ones. Ideally though, the H&K trades look best on the 416.

ok, your in the US perfect. Listen echo 1 has there version of the HK416 theres is called HK614 trades are wrong but guns decent, echo 1 support is in the US meaning anything goes wrong you go right to them, get the money you need for the echo 1 buy it and be happy. And if metal really matter have a HK416 body imported from HK redwolf should carry. carefull with HK416's if you want some 1:1 replica you can easily spend in the thousands.

Just get the VFC HK416. High quality and you can get it without so much as scratching your ass.

+1 this is what I did... VFC FTW!

or do one better and get the HurricanE Kit :P

While where at it why doesn't he just a get s systema PTW? Never go wrong there haha

Then he'd just be a chairsofter...

Just getting started guys not gonna drop $400 on a gun yet and when I do it's probably gonna be a CA scar-H. I'm gonna buy a JG hk416 and see how that works out for me. Gonna change it to a softer spring so its field legal and take the more powerful spring out of it and stick it in my craptacular first AEG a cyma MP5 that ive hardly ever shot ( I think the magazine sucks it's misfeed city)

How are PTW's for chairsofter? If anything all those clones are for chairsofters since they will spend the majority of their time on a chair fixing them:D

To the OP, grab the JG one, change the spring, give the gears a good lubbing and reshimme it.

isnt jg also a clone brand?
i know d-boys is a clone brand but how good of a clone would a d-boys gun be?
i wonder how they compare to jg's since ive seen a lot of d-boys aeg's running for like a hundred dollars more than a jg, and i see a lot of d-boys guns advertised with all metal bodies whereas the jg's come with plastic ones

Are they not a highly sought after collectors piece? I know of more chairsofters with PTW's than airsofters.

I thought people bought them because they are very reliable and perform better than most AEG's... thats why i got mine and same reason my friends did...

Lol, I guess it goes both ways, but they are prime wall hangers, no doubt about that one. Like I said, I've heard of more wall hangers/ plinkers than I've seen em on the field. Anyway, </threadjack>

JG are fine, and if you want to make it better, there's a decent parts market to buy upgrades. :)

It annoys me when US members come to this site and are like "I don't want to spend $400 on a good gun (CA/G&P,etc), I'm just starting out." Well shit... why don't you just rub it in a little more eh? lol

Kalnaren don't you know I need to keep the $200 differance in price between a VFC and a JG in case I get injured so I can actually afford to go to the emergency room and recieve some vague semblance of care. Moral of the story US vs Canada your spending the extra $200 either way:p ( I'd rather spend it on a gun:p)
