Today we will see, I paid 500 bucks
for this H&K gun bag OEM by Jiqu
Look at this cloth
feel this nice quality texture
This is definitely the perfect Germany technique
and the huge H&K logo at the left bottom corner
what a representative of the noble identity!
Let's open it
Wow, wow, wow!
Buy bag get a free blaster!
Hey, isn't this 416?
This is almost a charity!
Ah, thanks! Thank you very much!
It has been a few months since Jiqu 416 version 3.0 was released
I still remember when it was first released
lots of buddies were complaining about their "squeezing toothpaste"
Especially for those who just bought version 2.5
it's like joining the ROC Army in 1949
However, on the other hand
this Jiqu 3.0 has reached the winner position of 416 compared to any other manufactures
So after a half year hesitation, I can't resist anymore to cut my hands off
and bought this entry version 416
which is also known as the "Beggar version"
Nowadays, buy bags to get free blasters becomes Jiqu's specialty
If you are a fan of H&K's weapon
then you definitely won't reject this exaggerated logo on this bag
There are a battery, charger, and sling on the top layer
the inside layer, there is a useless plastic holo sight and a goggle
Then the blaster itself is this big boy based on HK416D that uses 10.5 inches barrel
If you have had any other 416 type gel blaster before
you will understand immediately when you first get this Jiqu 3.0
Jiqu wins this time, completely win
The entire finish of the receiver is the best under the 500 price tag
With the improvement from previous versions
the detail replication is well portrayed
Pulling the charging handle, you can open the dust cover and see the black bolt cover inside
the silver H&K logo is etched on it
The upgrading metal charging handle
it feels super solid
the action goes up to 60mm
I can't stop keep jerking it off
The upper receiver is upgraded into a one-piece part since the previous version was three plastic pieces
The rail on the receiver is perfectly lined up with the handguard rail
the super straight line makes me so comfortable
The laser etching inscription on the mag well looks pretty nice
Just like the inscription on the receiver
which shows a light grey matte texture
the pattern of the fire selector
it says they are colored by the computer
some small blemishes on it when you look at it carefully
but it's not very visible
The selector cover on the right side is made of metal
it's inconspicuous, but the overall detail performance improved
The mag release and the bolt catch are all nylon parts
they simulate the phosphating texture finish
feels not bad, and it sits pretty well
There is no gap between the receiver and the pistol grip
Good news for OCD fellows
The joint line is decently hidden on the receiver
you could only see the track of nylon on the grip and the trigger guard
Even though this is the "Beggar version", but it still uses metal parts on the charging handle, bolt cover, and the body pins
nicely done
I don't have the previous version of Jiqu's receiver
Only based on this one I got
the durability of this 3.0 is in the first class
Compare Jiqu's PMAG magazine and Jinji's mag with the checking window
this one is a bit worse than Jinji's
but the one-piece case is solid enough
It is wobbling inside the mag well
and a personal opinion, this mag doesn't fit the style of 416
The aluminum alloy buffer tube with Jiqu's logo
and the metal sling mount at the front
6 positions retractable navy buttstock
18650 twin battery can be stored in it
the compartment is big enough
From the MP5 in the early of year
Jiqu seems to use small Tamiya plugs on the entire series
it should be a good improvement of standard
However, this navy stock isn't very nice
its outer shell is definitely weaker than K2's stock
The front 416 nylon handguard is a shining point of this "Beggar version"
the edges are sharped and well-polished
the grooves and the heat-dissipating holes are nicely simulated
The material use of this handguard is really robust
It could handle the entire set of "Christmas Tree" even without upgrading to the metal handguard
but the screw for fixing the handguard is a bit awkward
the nut is not stable so it rotates easily when screwing it
The gas block at the front is even worse
Two-piece structure, fixed on the outer barrel by two screws
the negative thread is combined with it
However, there is a detail on this gas block earns a bonus mark
which is an integrated adjustable hop-up
you can dial it directly on the top of the gas block
it also helps stabilize the inner barrel
This kind of super friendly design for the new player
should be the reason why Jiqu 3.0 is still hot and famous on the market
Compare this to other manufacture's 416 on the market
Fangxian's receiver is a great competitor to this 3.0
but its performance of details seems not good enough
the surface texture is also not better than Jiqu 3.0
As for Qidian's 416
I will pause here, I need to throw up
Remove the upper receiver then you can see
the inner and outer barrel are all made of aluminum alloy
Jiqu's 3.0 gearbox
it has been a half year since it first released with this 416
it's one of a reliable gearbox from Jiqu
and it should be used as Jiqu's standard setup in future days
Out of the box, velocity goes over 75m/s, the fluctuation is low
Using DD milky white with selecting sizes
some adjustments of integrated hop-up
then it will give you a great shooting performance
It is an exceptional blaster on the market now
which achieves the goal of "play right out of the box"
Although this is a "Beggar version", 416 is still 416
without "Christmas Tree", how could it lay well inside of that noble H&K gun bag?
I prepared an aluminum alloy Remington RAHG handguard made by UT studio for this 416
an AAC M4-2000 suppressor
a Yiwu replica of Eotech Exps3-0
which is also known as 558 fake holographic sight
A foldable rear sight, a short TD grip
a fully functional PEQ-15 Laser box
and M600C flashlight
Remington handguard doesn't fit the stock gas block with two small ears
so I replace a metal gas block
At last, I use a tan color CTR style buttstock
It looks more tacticool now
Start from the earliest 416 version 1 to version 2 and 2.5
then until this 3.0 high-end version
Jiqu is so persistent on the way of replicating 416
The price tag of previous versions is always "exceptional"
and the three-piece upper receiver before version 3.0 was also being complained a lot
But all the way till now
Jiqu gains a lot of experiences
Finally, this 416 which fixed almost all bugs from previous versions was released
You will see this when you got it
No matter the detail on the receiver of this 3.0 version
or the texture finish, material use, is one of the best AR receivers
makes me fall in love with it
Except for some flaws of small parts on this "Beggar version"
I won't complain about this blaster at all
Let's say this, it is April 2020 now
If you want an HK416 gel blaster
Jiqu 3.0 is my only recommendation for the same type
I bought Jiqu 3.0
you bought Qidian
they bought Hexin
we all have an optimistic future...
