Description
The VFC UMAREX GBBR HK416 A5 EVO M-LOK replica, an officially licensed H&K gas blowback platform
The VFC UMAREX HK416 A5 EVO M-LOK GBBR replica is an airsoft replica with a gas blowback system developed by Vega Force Company under an official Umarex/H&K license. It is designed for players looking for a realistic AR platform, built with durable materials and featuring an advanced internal system. Its appeal rests on three pillars: fidelity to original H&K markings and equipment, a robust construction featuring numerous steel components, and a next-generation hop-up system that allows for easy access to the inner barrel.
Construction and Materials: Selected Metal Alloys, Steel, and Polymers
The replica's body, including the upper and lower receivers, is made of metal alloy. The 11-inch outer barrel is machined from a single piece of steel, as are the hop-up chamber and the main components of the internal mechanism. The V3 system incorporates the knock set, hammer, hammer sear, trigger, bolt catch, magazine release, and fire selector (including its shaft), all made of steel. This high proportion of steel components represents a significant advancement over previous generations of the VFC platform.
The H&K G28 Slimline stock is length-adjustable. Its tube is reinforced with ball bearings, ensuring smooth and durable sliding of the stock along its rail. The pistol grip is in the H&K 416 style. The dust cover is made of H&K nylon. All H&K markings and logos are present on the body and magazine, in accordance with the official Umarex license.
EVO TDC Hop-Up System: Click-Adjustment Without Disassembly
The EVO AR GBBR hop-up system is one of the major technical innovations of this version. It is based on a TDC (Top Dead Center) design, with adjustment via a rear screw featuring tactile clicks. The hop-up chamber is made entirely of steel. Access to the inner barrel (275 mm) and the hop-up gas ring requires neither disassembly of the outer barrel nor removal of the handguard, which greatly simplifies maintenance and customization in the field. A long hex key is included to facilitate disassembly of the hop-up assembly.
H&K Ergonomics and Features: M-LOK handguard, ambidextrous controls, accessories
The 10.3-inch H&K G95A1 handguard features an M-LOK design, is free-floating, and is equipped with a quick-detach (QD) system. It provides a mounting surface compatible with all standard M-LOK accessories, without the need for attachment to the outer barrel. The top Picatinny rail is integrated directly into the receiver, extending from the handguard.
The controls are fully ambidextrous: the bolt catch, magazine release, and fire selector operate from both sides, making it easy to use for both right- and left-handed players. The replica weighs 2,815 g and has a total length ranging from 710 mm to 800 mm depending on the stock position.
The outer barrel has a 14 mm counterclockwise (CCW) thread, allowing for the direct attachment of a suppressor, flash hider, or tracer compatible with this standard thread. The replica is compatible with VFC V2 and V3 gas magazines from the AR/M4 series, as well as H&K Gen3-style gas magazines. The replica is available in two finishes: black and tan (RAL 8000).
