[ARCHIVED THREAD] - GSG 5 .22 LR problems

I have one of the original ones and it has given me some problems. Jams with many types of ammo, broken charging handle. Owner's manual says lubing the ammo might help! Have gone over the mags with bronze wool where the follower rides up to smooth things out, also the follower itself. Magazines also split along seams even when loaded with only 20 rds. Have super glued the 2 small screws on the tops of the mags to help avoid this. Should have bought another 10/22 and avoided all these problems.

I have one and the 3 magazines I got when I bought the gun, no longer work. They used to. Now they just bind up. I tried sanding them, lubricating them and finally lubricating them with graphite.

I bought 5 more and am hoping they don't start sucking as well.

Yeah ATI has had some issues with their mags and drums. Sounds like your issues are directly related to that. Buy some newer mags is my suggestion I think that will fix your issues.

My experience has been quite different. Never a malfunction and all six of my mags work perfectly. No broken parts either.
