vfc umarex hk417 aeg project
 

Hi guys, I want to start a new project and I'm collecting info before I start to help me scope and budget. Feel free to advise/suggest me on any maker, reseller.

Basically I want to take a stock 417, change the barrel to a 16'' or 20'', extend the RIS accordingly, probably also add a bipod and scope.

This is what i have in mind,

This should do the trick, although it's out of stock at the moment.

Nice. Im going to pick this up. Thx! I'll see if other stores have it.

Affordable Harris bipod that I use on my 417: http://www.milsig.ca/paintball-acces...adaptors-p-732

I also run an AIM JTCR1 1-4x adjustable optic on mine, looks and works phenomenally on the 417 platform. Anything over 4x magnification isn't really worth the extra heft and money! http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/2743...nal-Rails.aspx

What do you guys use for a sling? I don't like the idea of attaching it to the barrel at the front. I actually have a little bit of play on my barrel. :(

The Limited Edition HK417 comes as such. And a hard case! And a patch! If you want one let me know, I'll see if anymore are available.

Well, I have the 417 already :P

I spent some time on the project today. That flash hider was a bitch to remove. Glued with a pin, damn it!

Until I received my parts from WGC, this is how it will look like for now.

Well seems i wont be getting the sniper kit anytime soon. Wgc was supposed to restock it today but it seems it is backorder indefinitely. Anyone know another vfc reseller beside wgc?

Finally got my parts! Here is the final build,

Looks very sweet! What all did you end up adding to the gun? Did you end up purchasing the kit from WGC Shop?

Yup. Just needed to be little more patient.

I got the following,

that is what i am going to do with my 417 too.... thanks for sharing...

Eheh nice. Please post some pics!

I'm using an L85 sling originally through a fixed rail-mount loop at the front and the buttstock loop at the back. I didn't like the idea of using the plastic loop on the buttstock though, so I made two webbing straps with a D-ring each. One goes around the stock and one around the buffer tube at the receiver. I looped the sling through a D-ring snaphook and I can switch the rear mount point between the two positions.

I just bought this hk417. Even out of the box it shoots awesome with .25s ( might goto .28 or 3s) this is exactly what I was looking to do with it. I'm also probably looking a add a miracle barrel but I'm unsure if I'll have to changed the hop up while I'm at it.

The hop up for the 417 is already decent enough, the only thing I would consider is the Madbull 3in1 hop up unit for M4 (just the hop up block, no need for the rest) which I'm 99% sure is what VFC used as a base for making their own.

Doesn't the early 417's have structural problems with the gearbox? Did they fix this yet?

The front of the gearbox was weak - this has been addressed post-2012 based on the last one that passed through my hands.

Anyone (prolly Stealth) know if normal v2 pistons amd gears work in this or is it PSG1 stuff or what?
I know, necro post but i have just a simple question about this gun so necroing this thread seemed easier than starting a new one, plus this is alrdy high on google when i search.

Holy shit. You're back. LOL

Yeah it uses standard V2 parts.

Sweet, that piston looks long to me, maybe the guy in the video has small hands lmfao.
Yup, spring is in the air. Time to get shootin stuff lol.

And last question. Is the motor in this gun going to be able to pull the 420fps+ spring with 13:1 gears and an 11.1 15c lipo?
Im not goin for hig speed just high trigger response, tho i know high speed will be a by product of that.

Barely.
