Taiwangun's offer has just been expanded with a new replica by Bell called the BY-813. It is a carbine modeled after the modern HK416A5, but with a few significant deviations from the original.
The replica has double-sided functional manipulators reminiscent of the original.
The same can be said about the upper and lower receiver, the pistol grip and the trigger guard.
The collapsible stock and the enlarged buffer tube nut also resemble the original.
The same can be said bout the folding sights as it has a detachable adjustable rear sight and a folded front sight embedded in the rail.
The handguard is secured with an Allen screw, and not like the original HK416A5, a regular bolt or slotted screw.
The biggest difference compared to the A5 is the lack of a gas block regulator. The BY-813 replica uses an older type gas block, without a regulator, as in the HK416D replicas.
The BY-813 it is also available in the S version in tan color.
Basic parameters:
- overall length (collapsed/extended stock): 805/885 mm;
- inner barrel length: 390 mm;
- inner barrel diameter: 6.03 mm;
- weight: 3070 g;
- magazine: hi-cap holding 300 BBs;

The replica is driven by a gearbox with a quick spring change system and 7 mm bearings.
