VFC HK416 A5 (mag-like) Stand

thingiverse

I've been looking around for a stand for my HK416A5 airsoft gun made by VFC, but wasn't too satisfied with what I had found... So this is the result. <b>Disclamer:</b> This is for <b>VFC HK416 A5</b>. Airsoft guns from other manufacturers may need additional (minor?) tweaking at the mag portion. Other variants of the gun (e.g. HK416D) will definitely <b>NOT</b> fit as intended, due to the stand interacting closely with the magwell profile of A5. I also provide the HK416 magazine model so you can build your own stand (or anything else) if you would like to do so. Please note that curvature of the mag will be different to a standard AR mag. . The stand is designed so that the vast majority of the load is placed at the magwell using ~7mm protrusions at the either side of the "magazine". (à la H&K G3 or TEC-9 magazine, but larger) The same cannot be achieved with a hypothetical stand that utilises the existing "actual magazine", which will place the load at the magazine catch or the bolt carrier/upper receiver, or both to some extent. Install and remove the stand as you would a normal magazine. It should not drop free without operating the magazine release. With the default version of the stand, magwell should sit roughly at the centre of the base. . <b>stand_fit_tester.stl:</b> <i>should be printed first.</i> Refer to print notes. There are 4 variants of the stand: <b>stand.stl:</b> bog-standard, complete with H&K logo debossed at two corners. <b>stand_shifted.stl:</b> "magazine" is shifted 30mm to the rear. This is for rifles that have centre of gravity shifted from the magwell area towards the muzzle due to longer barrel or other attachments being present. <b>*_no_logo.stl:</b> no H&K logo. <b>vfc_416_mag.stl:</b> aforementioned model for VFC HK416 magazine.
