So why a hurricane kit from Jugglez.
I purchased a VFC HK416DX on ebay and sent it to my brother in Florida.
I used for a week while on vaction down there a few weeks ago. Nice gun but to get one in Canada about $1300 to my door. Then I would need to get a tight bore, spring, wired to rear with hurricane stock, and pay to have it installed. So lets say $1600 +.
Or you could order a Hurricane HK416 from Jugglez for less than the stock VFC HK416 depending on your options. Mine was a little more with a battery and some upgraded parts. You do the math.
I will do a review in a few weeks after I get some games in with it. |
I couldn't agree more with Jugglez's customer service. It is indeed top-notch.
However, your pricing is a little off.
The VFC HK416DX is $1095 from A&A (only retailer I've found that lists the price). Last time I checked they shot 350fps with 0.2g BBs out of the box. So why do need to upgrade? True you'd still "need" to get a rear battery buttstock, but that cost is offset with the fact that you'd still need a drop-in mechbox for the Hurricane kit.
Now let's look at the Hurricane kit. In addition to the aforementioned mechbox, you would need an inner barrel to go along with the Hurricane kit and other small tid-bits.
The VFC features a bolt-lock feature that lets you lock the hop-up door open and release via the bolt release lever. MUCH more realistic. Also the VFC has a COMPLETE set of sights like I mentioned in my post above.
Advantage of the Hurricane kit is that you know exactly what you're putting into the gun, whereas with VFC you don't know the quality of the internals. Disadvantage is that installation is for somewhat experienced gunsmiths (vs. people who just want a working HK416 out of the box). Build quality is apparently "quite good" with Hurricane, but according to VFC owners, theirs is "quite good" as well.
No, I don't own the VFC HK416, and yes I've done my research.
