True HK416 Metal Body At Last?

http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.p...983003e03418d7

I know it's Dboys and they have all sorts of quality issues but that metal body looks pretty good in the pics and it looks like the upper would line up with an HK416 front end. What do you guys think? It's a shame there's so many hoops to jump through for a metal body in Canada.

Im not sure what you mean by true? There are several HK416 Metal bodies available on the market today. If your going to go through that much trouble to get, might as well get a good one. HurricanE is probably the best and most accurate (I have one). Theres also a King Arms, but its not really a 416 body, and then theres a Guarder 416 body with trades, but its a bit off from the real 416 body.

Isn't the KA one an HKM4D and I thought the other metal bodies don't fit the HK416 front end without that gap between the top RIS rails because they're just M4 metal bodies.

i thought the guarder one was sold out and impossible to find. I also thought that the KA one wasn't out yet, but in pre-production or something like that? But what do i know? Still, the body looks excellent i would love to get one.

Jing Gong just recently released a fullmetal version of ther HK416, it's got the same specs as their other new line of Armalites so I expect these to be kick ass :P

I got to look at one of the standard M4s when they were released. They have new wiring from the gearbox to the battery similar to what BORDENSNIPER uses for his AEGs and instead of a regular fuse in a tiny plastic box there's a metal case, unscrew the side and you have a circuit board.

Excellent Quality Control I'd recommend that, or you could butcher one for the body if you have your own custom HK416 build.

Yup, looks like that has a raised rail for true HK416 goodness.

I knew JG had some metal products coming out but I didn't know that they actually stepped up the quality again. Sign me up for either the body or another rifle when these start making it in!

And considering Dboys quality control, you were expecting better? Realistically, if you can stomach the typos, expected poor fit and what appears to be the new finish flaking off in the box, I'm sure it'll be another hit for Dboys.

To date, the HurricanE body is the best out there (I've got one as well, #5 in the country). Tight as hell, but it's great. If Dboys can make one that's reasonably accurate, decently fitting and finished that's available and cost effective, all the more power to them.
