Now, what is the end result of all this? The obvious question is, do I recommend their product? The answer is a cautious maybe.

If this 416D were priced at a retail of $999, then it would be a definite yes. Sure, there are some issues, but it is a great platform to build on and make some upgrades.

If this gun were $1999, it would be a maybe. You are dumping $2K into a gun, it needs some work out of the box. This would be the dividing line for most, and only the most committed should really look into it and take the plunge.

But this gun is $2900, and considering what I have seen and the modifications required, this gun is a no. I have the technical skills, knowledge and experience with this platform to make this changes. Most other users do not and can not, and the obvious performance shortfalls apparent in my gun are unfair trade for an out-of-the-box user.

In short, FCC, step up your game. Until you do, I can not in good conscience recommend your product.
