JG HK 416 Review

TokyoSeven · January 27th, 2008, 13:49

Will update with the internals review...just as soon as I find my camera. I think I may have lost it at the bar, but I dont think so.

Yeah an update on the mechbox would be great cause Jg's are now suppose to come with metal bushings...

TokyoSeven · January 27th, 2008, 14:24

Mine sure didnt.
The information about the bushings is already available in the review as of now.

Might I ask how much the gun weighs, preferably with loaded magazine and battery, if you know, that is?

Would putting Phoenix High Powered Gear Set solve all shimming and gear issue?

You wouldn't have to replace all the internals, just get some extra shims if you have to, to reshim it, theres an article on arnies http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filnavn=.../shimguide.htm right here, if you're unexperienced with shimming.

There's a gear issue now?

Those gears are worth almost a third of the guns worth in Canadian. I took 2 minutes to properly shim my gears and its running perfectly.

Well, you COULD buy these gears, but you still have to install and shims, so it would do little for you other than increase your cost significantly. You'd have kickass gears, but you'd still have to shim them yourself.

Personally, I went for Modify high torque modular gear set in my TM M4, and will probably get a regular ratio set for the JG sometime in the future. Takes any guesswork out of shimming, since the whole unit is pre-mounted and pre-shimmed. You just install the metal bushings, install the gears, and you're good to go. These gears are excellent. They move nice and smoothly, there's no play, and they're fairly silent too. It's made a huge difference in the sound of my gun. I don't hear whining anymore, just the crisp POP POP POP of the piston. However, they're still $80, so they're not cheap.

So I decided to go ahead and get the JG416, hopefully it's as good as everyone's been saying.

jesster202 · February 4th, 2008, 22:09

Qlong · February 4th, 2008, 22:33

I've got mine right here, I can take it apart and post up pics if anyone wants? I'll need hands tho, I'm not willing to stop doing my stupid electric circuits assignment which I found out as of 2 min ago that its due tomorrow at 1:30 just out of curiosity.
