This gun may not hit the market before end of this year, but they may sell an Upper receiver + RIS kit for a Prime Body before.
Gas system is the WA design. Bolt Carrier group and lower receiver parts are interchangable with AGM, JG, WA.

They are also in the making of a Sten GBB.

Looks very nice. I'll have to wait for a review though before parting any cash.

[DarkLite]

I suspect adjusting the hop-up would be a total *bramston pickle* though.

[Botisho]

That 416 looks great

i think, the GBB Replicas, are improving enough

It's 7am, I'm about to head out to work, and now my roommates and neighbors hate me.



Details?

I can't reveal more details now, but they are not targeting the low-end market like AGM and JG.

[kullwarrior]

looks like its probably CNC aluminium which is good thing. The only confusing part is it say fits Prime Lower and accept WA/G&P Carrrier. It DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
Prime lower only take prime upper not the WA/G&P Spec, The Upper length is design only to accept full length carriers. You will need prime spec carrier or G&P/WA carrier with adapter to work. So in a sense it might be a question one whether this is vapourware

Well, that's good I guess. I just hope it's not insanely expensive. GIM?

Let me be the one to ask the noob question. Who is Iron Airsoft???

Btw, it will hit at $400-$500 at least. They've been saving and they know no other company has a 416 GBBR.

WE 416 announced to be released next month.

Pictures of the VFC 416, release date TBA.
It's just a question of time to market now.

To be picky...

If they release a parts kit it really needs to also include a barrel nut, outer barrel and gas block since these are all unique to the HK416 too.
A JG gas block can fit but it seems a bit silly to rely on another manufacturer to produce parts for an item you make.

Also, a minor point, I wonder if they've made the effort to sort out the problem with the rail-mounted sights?
I have no idea what's going on but the rear sight only aligns with the gas-block mounted front sight post on a 416.
The rail-mounted front sight is about half an inch lower than the rear.
Least, the ones I've seen are.

*EDIT*
Regarding the hop-up, it's not a really big deal.
You can poke a small screwdriver through the RIS and adjust it with that.
Not very elegant but it can be done.

We had a big thing about Meme's here a while back and the bottom line is that we don't really like them so please don't use them.

Meme removed.

You could also just buy a Prime hop-up that is adjustable from the receiver; maybe a copy of that will be included in the kit.

Sorry, let me rephrase that. A 416 model based on WA system.

I had no idea about VFC.

Yes, the kit will come with all the required parts.

And damn it! I want a 417. AEG would be fine, just gimme a freaking 417!

[Jungle_Spectre]

A gas Sten! Thank God for existing and for keeping me from buying the AEG one!

Must say I haven't heard of Iron Airsoft before. Are they a cheap chinese brand?

Apparently not since the price tag will be in the $500 zone (where a G&P WOC is).
