Looks like something is cracking in my GSG. This going to be an issue?

Circled in red. Drag and drop image in your browsers address bar to see full size:



Definitely not some stuff that can be wiped off, so it does seem like a crack.

a crack in a bolt is never good. if that is what it is, and not a wear spot.   keep shooting it, if that piece comes off  then you'll  have a nice wallhanger

Figured it was the bolt.

Guess no range trip for me tomorrow.

Hard to tell from the reflection in that pic. My bolt has a line going straight up and down in that area.

If a crack surfaces have ATI take care of it right away. This is another common flaw in the design that many of us have been through.

I see a lot of scratches, I don't see any cracks.

I think it would take seeing the bolt in person to determine if there is a crack, a simple picture will not do.

Are we talking about 1 or T in the pic below?

I have a similar mark, I just looked after reading this.

Was just double checking, read about the cover cracking so I got a bit nervous.

Apparently it is just a scratch.

Shot 150 rounds of Blazer through it today, zero issues. Checked the inside, scratch didn't become bigger.


I think if I had brought the extra 350 rounds, I would've went through them to! Guess I will go pick up another brick or two.

You can PREVENT the cover from cracking by just removing it and grinding a bit off the front so that it doesn't hit the chamber face.

GSG will not be manufacturing anything in 9mm.  Sorry.  We get a 9mm MP clone from MKE in Turkey, here: AT 94 A2
