| I wanted to clean my GSG5 carbine prior to going to the range, so I got out their instruction manual and proceeded. First I removed the buttstock then the bolt stop, next the trigger guard was removed. The problem was that the bolt housing would not slide out of the receiver, it would move a small distance to the rear then hangup. Not wanting to force anything I reassembled the carbine and thought it would be wise to ask you guys. So any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I had this happen to me the first time I disassembled the rifle.
However, I made one huge mistake. I forgot to remove the chamber indicator before attempt this, so I got the bolt carrier stuck pretty good. When I pushed it back into place and removed the indicator, I still found that it was getting caught up. I loosened the screws on the outside of the body of the gun every so slightly and it came out. After I reassembled the rifle, I did not have this problem any more, even after I tightened the screws back up. |
| I did decock the carbine and there is no metal to metal sound. When attempting to draw the bolt carrier to the rear it just moves about an inch and a half then stops like the opening at the back of the receiver is to tight. Very perplexing, I even found a You Tube video showing takedown which shows the bolt and carrier easily sliding out. |

So, the bolt will easily cock when using the cocking handle, yet it won't travel as far when attempting to remove it during disassembly? Sounds like it may possibly be similar to the above post about his receiver being too tight on the end? Are you able to have another GSG owner watch this issue along with you? |
