I got around to shooting the pistol this morning and once I got it dialed in it did OK at 25 yards. I suspect with the addition of a red-dot I could tighten that group up some. I used seveal different flavors of .22s in it and it ate them all with 0 issues. The group was shot with CCI Sub-Sonic HPs. Very much of a fun gun. ;D
I picked-up this HK 416 Pistol in a trade. I've only got $200.00 in it. It came with a 20 round mag and a nice HK marked hard case. What I like is that it uses the same mags and can adaptor as my Colt/Walther M4 Carbine. It runs as good as my "Colt" M4 .22 Carbine but the trigger is simply not the best for a pistol. All I have done to it is install a set of ladder rail covers. I might get some sort of red-dot for it. One thing that is good is that if one would decide to make a 416 pistol a SBR the upper will fit the Umarex/Walther "Colt" lower with no alterations....or so I've read on the internets....Bonjour. At any rate I can't see myself paying Uncle Sugar $200.00 to mess with it but if you have both types of Umarex/Walther .22s it might be a straight swap if you have $200.00 and 1 year + to wait for a tax stamp to find out.
Hi all. First post and all that. I picked up this Walther/Umarex/Colt M4 .22lr Carbine at a local pawn shop for $300.00 OTD. Sadly someone thought it would be a good idea to cut off the top of the sight tower so they could use a scope on it. ::) I solved that problem with a Brownells Modular gas block I got off EBay for $20.00. I had the rest of the stuff on-hand for it with the exception of the adaptor for can use.....Now if I ever get my tax stamp back I'll be in business. Eight and a half months into the wait so far. I've ran 350+ rounds of mixed ammo through it with 0 problems. I used Fed. bulk, CCI Mini Mag HPs and Solids, Wolf Match, Winchester HV solids, CCI Standard Vel., and CCI Sub-Sonic HPs. It was boringly accurate at 25 yards after sight-in. It ate all brands with equal enthusiasm. It seemed to like the CCI SS-HPs the best so I shot it at 40 yards with that and it still proved pretty darn accurate given the 7.5 lb trigger, my 58 year old eyes, and iron sights. I'll bet it would be the cat's-behind with a scope and a trigger job. I think I made the right choice for my wants with the "Colt" rather than the S&W MP-15 .22 clone. It helps that it has a normal safety. It has a 2012 (BC) date code.
