The GSG 16 modification thread

[Yur1k]

Printed a new handguard.

The best handguard I've seen so far!

 

[GuiltySpark]

Do we expect to see more of those short barrels coming?

Is installing them pretty straight forward?

Thanks. It's actually a little too slick. That printed knurling is not aggressive enough. I might print another one without knurling and use grip tape instead.

I had some difficulty but it might be because I was slightly retarded and didn't loosen the set screw and also assumed the threading was right handed. I then checked the new barrel and realized it was a left hand thread. Then I unthreaded the original barrel without loosening the set screw so I carved a spiral in the original barrel. I tested my install with CCI quiets and it wouldn't cycle. Turns out it doesn't cycle with quiets even with the original barrel.

Could bed line it.

I don't know what that means.

Bedliner texture spray can finish.

Ah. I'll look into that.

Putting up my unmounted SD forend as originally printed by wal-mart greeter on EE if anyone interested; so many mod options now I love it. Thx.

 

[OkayShooter]

Ah. I'll look into that.

Or get some matte clear and some black sand. Spray some clear, and sprinkle some sand over for grit.

 

[randyhub]

Spray matt trim paint also gives a nice finish.

just got this from a friend who was kind enough to install one of the dlask barrels & conversion kits. Just trying to source an eotech 512 & ready to rock! Also - the magazine was modified (not exactly sure how he did it) to fit inside a metal airsoft mp5 mag body, to give it a more '9mm' type look to it.

Can we get more pictures of the magazines please

 

[nick237]

That’s dope!

 

[BioRage]

Might as well show mine off, I just got it back from Dlask.

Very happy customer here!

Cheers
Jay

Mind sharing the round cost of install?

 

[Parokya30]

Does anyone know where i can get a rail delete after replacing the charging cover of my gsg 16 to the gsg 522, it’s the only part I’m missing to get my mp5 clone

$254.24 which included shipping it back to me. Worth EVERY INCH!!! Opps, I meant WORTH EVERY PENNY! Lol

The rail delete in the 5/522 kit won't work with a 16. The ones I have seen have been home made.

 

[randyhub]

They are too short.

 

[tharkhold]

I started to shave my grip for a more mp5 look...

 

[GuiltySpark]

The claw mount is just on the edge. So just put the mount back on for the picture, no point accidentally hitting and ripping the plastic. Why I hope the other mounts fit better, since I just need to elongate the holes, to push the claws in more.

Is that barrel and sight set up the conversion kit?
