I took mine apart to clean and oil it and when I put it back together, The Bolt hold open is acting finicky. When I remove the magazine and try to sent the bolt home it stays back and seems hung up.

Any ideas?

Check and make sure that the spring that pushes the bold hold open lever down is still there, you should be able to see the spring when you have the bolt latched back. If you just see a gap with no spring there look around on the floor for it and check and see if it fell into the grip frame by shaking it violently upside down. (happened to me once)

I believe the spring is like 1/8 inch in case you need to pick one up at the hardware store.

Let me know if thats turns out to be the problem.

Has anybody determined if regular MP5 stocks and clone stocks work on the GSG-5?

It seems all I see are discussions of airsoft parts.

I spoke to Gemtech last week about the thread adapter.
$45 for the adapter. It will come with instructions on the exact length to cut the barrel. The adapter will thread in to the front sight base in the same location as the fake suppressor. The barrel is too small in diameter to thread, so it will only need to be cut/crowned.

$150 for Gemtech to do the cut/crown and provide the adapter.

The guy said 2-3 weeks for availability. The barrel will be about 7.8". So by the time you get your Form 1's back, the adapters should be ready.

I don't see why the barrel is to small to thread, just look at the Walther P22. Why cant the GSG-22 be threaded to those threads?

Do you have to send in the entire weapon to gemtech or just the barrel?

There is no elevation adjustment on the GSG-5.

Maybe I need to glue on some type of small bead or extension for the front sight then. I gotta come up with something as it shoots too high at 25 & 50
