Can you fit a TM Mech box in the JG HK 416?

[jesster202]

shure can. jg is basicly a clone of tm bad and good. you shouldnt have any trobble. but i still think jg mech boxes are good except for the fact you just need to reshim and metal bussings outher than that they shoot nice at a stock level

[PsycoticClown]

I heard that the bushings are metal, at least the v2 of the gun is, any truth to this?

[dodger_me]

mine that i got from AA(m4) in november has plastic bushings, not sure about the new ones with the black gearbox

[Qlong]

opened up mine, plastic bushings for me too

I'm holding one of these right now...and it's a beautiful thing. Full stock, too. Battery fits kinda tight, but hey, no rattle!! Rear sights are kinda loose, though...

Ill be using this as a CQB gun and I really don't like the idea of 420 FPS.

Will this baby accept springs intended for TM?

[Screamer-]

I have do some search on the net and sometime the picture of the JG HK416 don't have the mark HK on it... why... because they have clone of clone...

[jesster202]

jey wilson jg is an exzact copy of tm good and bad so in outher words yes its 100 percent tm compatible so get a diffrent spring if you want. i think it be a good idea make the gears last longer. problay get a boost in rof too.

[Long_Bong]

Would the HK 416 use the body pin of the M-4?

Thanks

I put a stock TM spring into mine, I just cut off the little arm that comes on it, anyways, the ROF raised cosniderably with a TM stock spring so I think Im gona have to find a slightly weaker battery.

Actually, I was considering doing that as well once I receive mine to try to minimize the wear on the internals. I have the leftover stock spring from my TM that would work fine. I don't plan on upgrading this gun in any way (unless something breaks and I have to), so I think this would probably preserve its internals.

I see the 10" HK 416 as more of a CQB gun anyway and stock it shoots way too hot for that. I have no intention of ever using it for an outdoor game. Same with shooting in my basement. 400 fps is just too much.

I won't even use my C8 in my house now (roughly 360-370 fps) because I find it too powerful and it tends to go right through my targets rather than being stopped by them. The 416 will be my 'home plinker' and a collector's piece only, so a big power downgrade will probably be a very good thing. Probably get me a stupidly high ROF too. lol

i think the jg mech box i just orderd form hang has metalk bussings in it ill kepp yea updated on that one.
