    I wonder when H&K will complete the development of their HK433 so it'll become generally available. It would be very interesting to see how they combined the G36 and HK416 platforms. I know Sweden and Finland is looking to either buy or license the HK433 and modify for nordic conditions (like Sweden did with the licenced FN FNC which is the current service rifle which will be replaced). They're also looking at the FN SCAR, HK416 and HK417.

    On the OTB features - there is also a nub on the inside of the locking lugs of the barrel extension, to prevent the extractor from blowing out.
    It is simple to remove or swap out the handguard, but it is in my opinion a poorly designed solution. The reason for this is that you will experience zero shift on equipment when remounting the handguard, unless you tighten down the screw with the same torque every time. I was in one of the units first issued HK416N's back in 2008, and we discovered this, which led to a change in how equipment was mounted to the gun.

  • @InsufficientSleep
    @InsufficientSleep 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    You said the old ones just had one setting on the gas block. I had the 1st gen HK416 in the army and that one had a switch on the gas block to select suppressed / un-suppressed. After many of them had problems they got upgraded to not have the gas block adjuster anymore and it worked flawlessly suppressed and unsuppressed.

    In 2014 I chose/purchased the LMT CQB AR with a monolithic upper over the HK MR556. The two primary deciding factors for me was the weight and the price of the HK. I found the HK a little too heavy and high in price. The HK was, at the time, $2900.00 and the LMT was $1700.00. I have absolutely no regrets and love my LMT. If money was not an issue, I would have also bought the HKL.

    I bought a Ruger SR 556 in 2014 with three position gas (piston) setting including a fourth position to turn gas off for closed bolt (super quiet suppressed) firing. Thick, heavy, cold hammer forged barrel that hits sub MOA. JP captured buffer spring and Timney are the only two modifications I've made. Great Rifle! But there's still the 416 bug I'd love to scratch before I leave. Great videos Mr. Thumb

      1) OP said HK doesn't miss and they know how to make damn good looking rilfes.
      2) my response was the XM8 exists. Insinuating the XM8 is not "damn good looking"
      3) you insert yourself with "they were SPECIFICALLY told to make it look that way."
      4) I tell you no, in fact, there was no specifics just a general overview of what they were looking for.
      5) your response is so

    • @robertn4840
      @robertn4840 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @That Fat Guy From GTA SA no one told them to make it look like a fish with its swoopy carry handle and big ass fore end. HK contracted with some designers from the German car industry and that's why the gun looks the way it does, seriously watch Forgotten Weapons for fucks sake. Finally, yes the XM8 is a counter to OP's post about good looking rifles because he mentioned that they also didn't miss.

And they also come on aero percisions ambi lowers? ....if I am mistaken please correct me honest question. I personally prefer LWRC ambi lowers, and POF-USA gen 4 ambi lowers(but I get some people dont like the bolt hold open being in the trigger guard on the POF, but that's gonna leave them out of buying alot of modern guns, more and more are going to bolt hold open and release in trigger guards).....I have never been a huge fan of HK, I think they are overrated, and I think the company Executives, are pro civilian gun control and that is the reason why countries like Canada can get g36 rifles, but we get sl8 rifles, Canada has stricter gun control. So HK feels safe to sell the good shit there.
