Update
Aug 5, 2013
This past weekend I attended OP Art of War, which was a 30 hour Battlesim (Milsim) game hosted my BB Bastard.
The week before I headed out to the game, C3sk (aka Chris), installed the new silicone hopup nub that FCC came out with. All I can say is that it's f*cking awesome. The stiffer material they used greatly improved accuracy at longer ranges and my 416 basically became a laser. It took a few minutes to dial in my sights and I was good to go.
During the game I only fired about 500 rounds. Not much, but I'm usually plagued with problems on game day with my guns. However, no problems what so ever. I was actually a little disappointed that I didn't get to run my MP7.
I've owned quite of few guns since I started playing airsoft back in 2005 and I have always had to do some sort of constant maintenance on all of the guns in order for them to be operational. However, I must say that this FCC 416 has required the least amount of maintenance since I have got it back in January 2013.
All I have done with this gun is break in the hopup and one good cleaning of all the parts (inner barrel, cylinder and gearbox).
I'm very much a happy customer and I stand behind this product. But when/if this gun does go down a full report will be written up.
Until then, feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
Happy hunting
