    I am thinking of buying one but am wondering if it's value for money. I'm not a techie so I'm loooking for the best perfoming 416 "out of the box".

    The blowback is nice feature but not something I'm hung up on, but I do HATE PEQ battery boxes so over to you, can I do better for the money (or less money)?

    its worth every cent, my fav gun in my collection by far. the range and accuracy is top notch. the g&g one actually houses the batteries in the foregrip, a nunchuck style. but any airsoft store for a fee will rewire it back to a stock suck as a crane stock or a 417 stock. the blowback itself doest cause an kick but does make a satisfying sound. you can never lose with g&g.

    If you've never had an aeg with blowback before I'd suggest trying out an AEG that has it for a skirmish. Some people love it, some hate it. I find on some models it looks great but can be quite annoying to actually live with.

    As for G&G, they're usually great quality build. I've 2 G&G m4's, one of them is over a year old by now and I've never had a problem with either.

    I've heard good things said about the SRC 416, and I know there's a dboys/kalash/?? 416 that doesnt have have the PEQ box (batterry goes in the butt stock) which also aint too shabby.

    If I had the money I'd go with the G&G myself, but I'm sure others who have that or diff versions will comment and give you a better idea :)

    my top tech 416 is probably the best thing i ever bought.
    i feel sorry for how neglected my other guns have been since i got it.

    oh and if you dont want to rewire it...

    I have one and love it. i do think the blowback is more of a gimmick but accuracy, reliability and quality...it is a great aeg..IMHO. Just remember they dont do real logos...

    i do think what firekitten has said is true...its worth it if you feel its worth it. i guess what i can say is if i lost mine i would rebuy...

    Obviously, I'm biased, but....

    As you can imagine, I've owned a lot of rifles. I only use my Top Tech 416 nowadays though. Far and away the best rifle I've owned. Solid, heavy, reliable.

    Same here, I love mine. It was enough to even make me sell my VFC. :)

    I love the noise it makes. it doesn't sound like the skeleton having a secksi time in a biscuit tin sort of noise you get with typical electrics. :)

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention - I run a 7.2v lipo in the foregrip of mine...fits a treat, and its roughly equivalent to 9.6v nimh, so no extra wear and tear to speak of.

    Although....there is one negative I can think of. Removing and replacing the foregrip to insert the battery is a pain in the proverbials, especially if you're under pressure.

    Yeah ? Where did you see a Top Tech 416 for less than €280 ?
    They're $400 in Hong Kong, which is €268, and thats before shipping and tax.
    They're £395 STERLING in the UK.

    I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call BS on that one, Gatling old chum :)
