The VFC / Umarex HK416 Owners Thread
Realisticly you need to clean the barrel after every day of use. Get some rubbing alkohol and then soft cloth to dry it up. Watch out as not to put alkohol on the hop rubber. With the bolt of you use silicon it will travele everywhere but if you use grease it will stay in place and don't soil... -

You will notice a small improvement. I did with the 70° one. But still to many stray shots . Mine just strays to the right every 3 to 4 shots . Specially noticeable over 40m. I wonder if its the metal hop lever arm ? If you can wait a couple of weeks till my tnt set up arrives I can sell you... -

I got the wera precision set as it fits the npas too and they have a spanner like slot so you can use a spanner for more torque. -

Yes they go trough. So technically its possible. Bit difficult as they are tiny and you would need a bench drill. Weird that you did have red loctite on it as I have 2 Chambers and both of them where loctided but with factory gray and gave way with a bit of trying . My screwdriver set matches... -

You would need to make some spacers for the quad Rail . Wobble is negligible. I don't know if you can have any tape as you would tape up the hop adjuster. Don't put your sling on the barrel ,attached to the quad rail and you will be fine. We both know what happend when you where trying to... -

There is no nub to my knowledge. I got the maple leaf omega one but there is no space for it. The way the Hop unit is designed it's just a lever with a little arm that pushes the hop down . Maybe I am wrong. If you take your one apart check it. Edit: Definitely no nub -

Mystery solved . There is a spring in the gas block wich I lost and found ? Use blue loctide and just a small amount . It's going to be fine . Make sure you use good quality screwdrivers and you will be fine . I totally disassembled mine with no issues and no damage . -

I did not have any issues with the hop . Stayed in place . Mine is rock solid at the moment. Tempted to run it on .32 Changed the hop bucking for Maple Leaf Autobot 2021. And I think I can see improvement. There is the occasional stray shot but 8 out of 10 are in the beer Can at 40m... -

I have spend the weekend fielding the HK. Just to be clear , I was around 24h in total with no safe zone just some minor brakes for food and reloads in the forest. So here's a couple of things that I want to share. Grease don't oil . Over the span of 3 days I got some dirt etc in the system... -

Definitely check the seals. I got some on order just in case. Got mags from https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/ got 6 and just 2 were leaking. Seems to be a common top seal problem. Always check them underwater, so you don't fix the Valve 10 00000000 times :) Use lube, not silicon oil... -

On Friday one of my mags developed a leak. I was sure it's from the valve, but that was wrong. It was a top leak due to the gasket being Factory damaged (pics from Redit as i did not make pictures of my damage but this is the same ) Nothing was helping . I assembled and disassembled the mag 100... -

Chose a weight and stick to it . I think with 40 you will find yourself missing a lot . As they are going to be very slow. But hey . Maybe you are on to something . I never shot more then 35 as I think hop will not take it up . And the velocity loss is acceptable. Close quarters I use 28... -

To be honest try and fix the mags your self . Simple fact of life is if you do not master this skill you will be disappointed with the experience of a gbbr. I can see you are in the honey moon period of owning one . Maintenance and problem fixing are a must . I use grase not silicon oil to...
