Got my opsgear 416

Just received my 416 body kit, and put it on immediately. This thing is an object of pure beauty. Anyone who was arguing that it didn’t look that strong was completely wrong, though I will admit that I kind of wish I had have sprung for the metals rails but there not needed by any measure. It fits on very snugly, so snuggly that it was a pain in the BAD WORD to put on because of the new sight screw (the only A5 part that needs to be changed for this kit) the only reason it was so hard was because they didn’t thread the body for the screw so you kind of had to force it through. I was expecting this mod to add a lot of weight to my marker but I for most it would be unnoticeable, I can tell it’s heavier but not by much. It sits very flat and solidly on the marker and does not move; I did the run around test but haven’t put paint through it yet. I am very pleased with this kit, and it looks great with the m4 magazine, which was actually the hardest part of assembly in the entire project. Hope you all enjoy and here are some pictures.

I don't really like the look of the X7 hopper plus i was thinking of adding a red dot sight so I'm leaning more towards the offset ones, and the lower profile of the X7 one is nice but i don't need it.

Re: Got my opsgear 416

Personally I think an X-7 hopper would look better on there, but it doesn't really matter.

If you're getting a red dot, you may be interested to know that you do not need to see through the scope for it to work, so it doesn't matter if your hopper is blocking your view. So you don't need to buy an offset one after all

Re: Got my opsgear 416

That looks awesome. One question, how much length to the A5 body does it add? I can't wait to get mine.

Re: Got my opsgear 416

that thing looks nice! do you think it'd hold (almost completely conceal) a shroudless flatline barrel?
