HK 417

[Communist]

I'm going to attempt to make a custom HK 417. As of now, I'm still trying to figure out what to do about the butt stock, grip and assorted details. I came across this gun while looking into German assault rifles. Not a fan of the M4, but a lover of the G36, this struck me as a really interesting weapon. A great cross-over if you ask me. I'll try to post pics of the finished product, if it ever comes out right





Cheers.

sweet man. im a g36 fan as well and seeing this model gets me excited about buying a new gun. good luck with project!

Uh, you realise that this is chambered in 7.62, therefore you will have to dremel you upper and lower in two, add lenght, glue and finish in an estetically pleasing way?

Oh, and that ain't a G36 mag...

Hurricane makes a 417 style butt stock.

Best wishes on the build, to my knowledge the only kit out there that changes a lower reciever would be the hurricane SR 47 kit that is no longer in production, atleast I dont believe it is, Im not sure if anything exists out there that could even change a lower to accept g36 mags.

Best of luck.

Like surebet, I'm wondering how you're going to get a 7.62 armalite lower.

Yes, I know there is a ton of work to do and it'll be a looong project but the end result would be well worth it, for me at least! And yes, but the G36 mag would do well enough, and if not, a Sig 552 mag.

Thank you so much!

That saves a lot of trouble!

they keep calling it a g36 mag.... what kind of mag is it really?
the only clear mag i can think of other than a g36 is a sig mag

Ah yes thats right, I forgot that G&P has an SR 25 reciever out, I believe G&G makes one too and Classic army just has a full build SR 25. Its still more work than I can fathom to make it work though. Its not like the BB feeding holes would line up with the hopup, shame there wasnt a mag well mod to make the lower accept the mag, sorta like how G36 series guns can get the adapater to accept armalite mags.

Tell me you're not that dumb.

And yeah, an SR-25 body may work as a base. Not sure though.

Whoa whoa whoa. This is airsoft buddy, anything is possible. If you don't think that it can happen, wait awhile.

What you don't seem to grasp is that the magwell is insanely larger that a regular armalite magwell, hence, the complete destruction and reconstruction of your gun's body.

If you want clear mags, find another way, this is a retardedly complicated mod if you intend on being able to field it.

Also, armalite mags, sig 552 mags, and g36 mags are all WAY different. And they're also completely different than 7.62 armalite mags.
