I was thinking about not cleaning mine and see how long it would run, but I won't be heading out to the range for a while and I don't like putting dirty guns back in my safe so I cleaned it up real good. Like I said I have seen some reports on OTHER forums about concerns about light primer strikes. To me from the pictures I took it is a bit lighter than other weapon strikes. It doesn't mash the side of the casing like my P22 does. |
I havent cleaned mine and it works like crap.  Mayby it will be better th dirtyer it gets?My P22 has carbon caked in it, and it runs great. Go figure... ETA: What boards is you read this on? |

maybe I missed it but can you just have the barrell cut and threaded 1/2 X 28 instead of going into adapters and such? I already have the can, just need the barrel cut and threaded. From the pics it looks like you could have the barrel chucked up.. ALL after the stamp arrives.....

nope. The barrel is less than 1/2 in diameter on the outside. Gemtech is making an adapter that screws in in place of the fake can. |
This site NEEDS an ENEMA!!!
I've seen something posted here and there is a post over at rimfirecentral about it. They say they clean the weapon, shoot about 250 rounds, then they will start to get failures, maybe light primer strikes. I don't know if it is because they are shooting really, really, dirty ammo or what. I just thought I would post pictures of the primer strikes from my GSG-5 after it was throughly cleaned. Just trying to help out.
|
I shot half a box of 550 rds, and another 150 of premium ammo. NO malfunctions that werent caused by the ammo being a dud. AKA, 2 Fail to Fire's. |
|
Someone over in France already has a GSG-5 with what looks like the handguard and the vertical grip. Link   |
i like my railed handguars better...and they are metel  
|
I'd have to agree that the metal look does have a better appeal. I read how you spent some time making it fit. It's impressive. Still I would have to think the stock accessories fit without us messing with it too much, |
Did you hear about that somewhere? I can not believe I would have missed a post...or are you just trying to get another argument going......  .....j/k......I only ask as sometimes the chemicals do not play well with plastics.... OK, I like the idea...don't have my gun yet but.......TODAY IS THE DAY...... sorry.....need to clean up the workspace........ I need to add that to my list of Oh...I like that ...must do that.... I also do not have the patience today to sort through the posts but: Where did you get the hand rail and the stock? Handgrip- I have three of those from my "real" guns that will work as they are all just plastic anyway...I know, I know...no bashing over the real gun comment... The scope mount? Were they good to deal with? Would you order from them again? Come on...it will save me a ton of time.... Thank you, Echo |

Thanks man. I will continue to keep updating this thread. I just wish someone would make it a sticky. ETA: There is more to come, including KAC RAS, other Optics, maybe some barrel options from a machine shop C3 dealer. Yep I find it out there people, but I can't find everything.... keep the posts coming in the other theads too and email or im me info. We all contributed to this thread, lets keep it going!!! 
|
+1 on the sticky!!! a moderater needs to get on it... jackal2001 you kick ass, this is BY FAR the best gsg info thread on ther internet!!!!! |
thats why imna get 2...one to mod and SBR and one to keep stock!!!! seriously though, i know exactly what you mean...i feel the same way about AK47s and ar15's... they look cool with all the upgrades, BUT man, they look ultra sexy in there original form....i refuse to do any mods to my ak...and i realy love a stock ar15, but i dont have the money for another one yet, and i had to mod mine for compitiion, ect... |
you dont need one, get snap caps...OR do the cheap way (and better if you ask me) use the brass casings after you fire them, just keep a few around, or in the end of the "special tool" that came with the gsg... OR i could trade you mine for the rear sight adjustment screw since mine did not come with one or email GSG and ask them to send you one, they told me they are sending me a rear sight screw and nut..hopfully i get it soon! PAGE 6 PWNED!!!!!! |
If I can find a 4.5 X.75 tap,you can have my screw |

Took apart the clamshell today to try to diagnose the many malfunctions my GSG 5 has been experiencing and it seems one of the little lugs that indexes the barrel housing in the clamshell has broken off... This in conjunction with one of the bolt housing screws that just fell out stripped (I never tightened or loosened it...came that way)......and the other stripped screw that fell out that holds the firing pin top plate in place.......AND with my bolt hold open no longer working. |
send an email to GSG right away. [email protected] |
Thanks. I just dropped them an email with a description of the reliability issues I have experienced as well as a detailed account of the damaged parts in the rifle. |
BTW Anyone got a phone number for the importer that works?
I think it had something to do with slapping the cocking lever down like a real H&K MP5. "The other small issue was that the cocking tube was peening slightly on the outside surface of the notch which locks the bolt back." - demigod review |
No, don't ride it forward. Instead of slapping the handle down from the "locked" bolt hold, just pull it down and let it ride forward on its own. The "locked" bolt hold is only used when you want to manually lock the bolt back. It doesn't even get used when in normal firing use. The empty mag will hold the bolt open, insert a new mag, and just pull back a little on the cocking lever and let it fly forward. |
I think the receiver is considered the "2 part shell" with the magwell, not the actual trigger/grip/frame housing. That is the way real H&K weapons are. Also as stated in the GSG-5 manual. If you are asking where to engrave for SBR, the only spot I could find was on the front of the magwell, if you can get it to fit there. |
|
I just got an E-mail response from GSG. The second batch of rifles is currently in a container headed this way. Expect to unload the middle of March. Edit: He didn't say how many. I only asked when. |

so when you file paperwork for an sbr you have to engrave it? with what a new serial num,ber? if you sent it to someone to have them cut the barrel, will they engrave it for you? |

The name of the person or company doing the conversion and the city they are located in. There are specific requirements on the markings. Check the NFA forum for more info and read the ATF docs and get up to speed before you jump. There are other restrictions you have to abide by covering things such as transporting the weapon across state lines etc... Also keep in mind that some states prohibit SBR's so you need to know your state and local laws as well as the Federal stuff.
|
ya i have almost jumped on a supressor and an sbr before...then i decide not to, sometimes i think its more of a pain in the ass then its worth... the original paperwork does not bother me, the price of the tax stamp doesnt bother me...it haveing to do additional paperwork every time i want to move it over state lines...and also having to check into the laws of anywhere i would want to take it...also having to do additional paperwork everytime i woul;d want to change addresses..pain in the ass!!!! |
