HK416 and Glock 17

[Bodger007]

Hi Guys,

I am pretty new here and some of you have already been in touch for some advice etc, so I thought I would be the one asking for advice from you.

I am looking at getting a HK416 and Glock 17 for my skirmishing and wanted to know what makes etc to get. I have already looked at the new style JG 416 and really like it, but have been told it doesn't have all the trades and gas piston/forward assist are missing etc.
Glock wise, I would like a GBB as I love the realism to it.....almost the same as my own real steel!!!

Any help you could give me etc would be great so I can get out there and purchase!

Many Thanks guys and girls, I hope to get to meet up with some of you soon.

Cheers

Simple fact is if you don't want to be shelling out bazillions on kits then just get the very good "new" full metal JG 416. Fine the trades aren't 100% but god damn its a stonking gun.

I'd recommend TM for a glock. VFC make good 416's, but if you're on a budget, i'd say go for the JG version

Re: HK416 and Glock 17

Yeah depending on your budget the JG is a great gun, otherwise Id get the VFC if you can afford to spend £300+ (One of which I may have going spare... :p)

Glockwise Ive had several KSC versions, and they are excellent, otherwise HFC is pretty solid if a bit tacky and TM are fairly reliable.

HFC Glock 17 and JG 416

If your on a budget the most reliable glock is the HFC Glock as the army ones have many problems with them and wear very very easily - if you have a wee bit more cash the TM glock is excellent but if you want realism go for the KSC as they come with a metal slide and all!

Average Prices -
Army - £54.99
HFC - £60/£70
TM - £110 - £130
KSC - £110 -£130

would recommend the HFC and KSC

As for the HK 416 - go for JG all the way - excellent quality, very well priced

As for experience i have had many many Glocks (HFC/Army/TM) and HFC is the most relaiable for its price
Also had TMs and JG (new 2008 models) are pretty much the same if not better for half the price

The latest GBB Glock from JG is quite nice. Green gas, top slide, powerful blowback.

As for a 416, again, the latest from JG is rather nice.

Re: HK416 and Glock 17

I heard many bad things about the JG Glock mate - (sticky slides, worn hammers, leaky mags -all sorts)

JG 416

Army/TM glock.

Quoted for truth

In addition ive used the AGM HK416 and the jg one, both are very decent indeed, the jg has a very decent hop unit

Re: HK416 and Glock 17

Thanks for the continuous replies guys, Really appreciate the help. Just seen a Dboys version?? Still liking the JG, though like the idea of all the extra features on the VFC.

Re: HK416 and Glock 17

Go for JG. The parts are very high quality, the gearbox is the most durable and ,stock, it has the best parts. You really have no need to upgrade the gearbox on the Jing Gong. If anything you will need to downgrade the motor and spring. You dont even need to replace the hop rubber (which is normally a must with clones). I put a madbull one in mine and if anything the grouping and range got worse.
