Hanback Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Posted this up on another forum a while ago, but its still relivent. Thoughts? I was just browsing around on the ASF today and came across a thread discussing the upcoming release of VFC's newest addition to the HK series. I now present to you the HK417! (pssst...the one on the bottom)Made to simulate the 7.62 round that the real gun uses, one major concern is magazine compatability of the gun with 7.62 mags already out on the market. But that aside.....I personally think that it looks dead sexy! Of course I live by H&K and love my 416 to death. So what do some of you non HK fans think? Would you possibly buy it?

hrturner Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Strikingly similar to the scar in some aspects. Aside from the stock I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I like it except for the outrageous price, its on pre-order from ASGI for almost $500.. and from my experiences the VFC 416 (new generation) was inferior to their old model and wasn't up to par out of the box in terms of reliability. Still waiting for the M27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Not going to lie that 417 is pretty sexy. ~joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanback Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah its pretty darned expensive sadly, but then again it is a fully licensed Umarex, so it won't be cheap. I honestly like this new family as they are, unlike all other guns ever made (well besides the hurricane kit), completely 100% like the real gun. They finally have the same style grip and stock which makes me happy. Granted the internals are all VFC, which isn't bad, but its not great either. However, the externals are pristine! That and they finally fixed the receiver gap on the 416 that all the older models had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Not gonna lie though I really like the 417, and of I had that it would give me an excuse to buy this Mayflower HK417 Recce chest rig I've been wanting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacceo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Being an HK fan I´ll stay away from this one. They could license the MG4 and the 121, damn it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endgame Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm a big 416 fan and I think that the 416 and 417 are all gooshy sexiness. I don't really care much for the top most one but nice all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
