I got the Tan model, it comes with a black metal mag,and battery.
I also got a small tan foregrip, and a red dot sight ( Grrr…theres a speeding ticket story in that, as well.)
The black mag suits is really well, goes with the two tone look and feel. I also have a tan LDT mag…it JUST fits…its very tight, and scuffing the mag, getting it in and out. Its a very tight fit, and you need to jiggle it in , and out.
I prefer the black metal mag, it falls out when the mag release is pressed, slides in very easily one handed.
It also looks better, i reckon.
The stampings and markings are very precise, all the switches and controls are crisp…up to E&C’s high build quality. Streets ahead, of the LDT nylon 416, i got several years ago.
The scope has a solar panel on top, so it will work outside, if you don’t have a battery ( CR2025). Its a “scope within a scope” red dot, and does have a bit of parralax error…but, its not an expensive one.
I bought a cheapy red dot yesterday, the levering latching mechanism broke, putting the AAA’s in.
I returned it this morning, and traded up to the better red dot .
That was the only reason i was on that road , at 9am on a sat morning…and got pulled over for doing 83 in a 70 zone.
Downhill.
Just off the freeway off-ramp.
With my foot off the accelerator.
3 points and $480…
FFS…!!!
I should forward that fine to the manufacturer, as part of the warranty claim…!!
Nice looking blaster… haven’t had much to do with East & Crane but if your pics are anything to go by, the quality’s up there.
Really crisp detailing, makes the LDT HK 416D look like a half sucked cough lolly… and that’s saying something, cosmetically the LDTs were considered the mutt’s nuts back in the day.
I’d like to see E&C do an MP5 variant with that build quality.
Picked up some E&C Glock 19X a while back. Best quality of any GBB pistol so far. Doesn’t rattle, works flawlessly and takes DB mags. Makes the much vaunted We-Tech look like cheap rubbish. WAT have them for $199
Looks awesome. So far all the E&Cs I have seen have very nice externals. Internally having an ldx box they are good, not great but proper good. I had seen somewhere that some of the newer ones have an E&C box rather than the ldx, but might be internet nonsense.
Either way for the price and quality you shouldn’t be disappointed!
What’s with the blackout of the H&K and HK416D markings on left side magwell
I smell H&K being very anal again about IP. H&K suck and they hate you. Ironic how all H&K firearms are copies of others yet they get their nose out of joint when someone makes one, a toy even of theirs.
I cheaped out and used white wood putty from Bunnings that I had lying around, water based stuff.
Just be careful if you use it on lettering in textured polymer, like on an LDT MP5 receiver for example. The SCAR is dead smooth and it’s easy to wipe the excess off gently, but if you use it on a textured finish it will leave a halo.
That said, as long as you get into it with water and a toothbrush before it dries you can always scrub it off if it doesn’t work out.
Got some white filler, touched up the “safety” stamping, on the 416.
It was a bit worn , initially.
Also, solved the mystery of the blacked out area.
It was a sticker, i hadn’t removed…!!
H&K mustn’t hate us that bad…though they do build guns used for killing people, so…
