The GSG 16 modification thread
- Thread starter Danfizz
- Start date
Trying to decide between the stocks.
First modified Factory GSG9 photos, very nice work Lungfish, looks awesome!
Just curious, how much barrel is inside the flash suppressor? Does it stop right were the flash cutouts are?
Still waiting for my GSG9 to show up from Cabelas

The barrel extends a little more than an inch and is covered by the flah hider (ends just before the slots)
My guess,if you got the GSG 5 conversion cocking tube put the adapter in the inner thread of the cocking tube,M16x1
Yes it's the 16 inch factory barrel so samething as a stock gsg 16.

There's about 1¼ " sticking out. It goes to just before the cutouts of the flash hider.
I still have to figure that out a little better on mine. The threaded part doesn't go all the way in on the conversion. I might have to cut the threads a little shorter.

Awesome photos! Looks like the GSG arrives on Tuesday. Once it gets here I have a few pieces that might work.
Finally done the next mod
SEF Trigger housing with MP5 SEF fire control switch
This was a pretty crazy modification. It uses an airsoft SEF housing and an MP5 fire control selector. You have to actually permanently modify by drilling the GSG16 trigger housing to accomodate the larger fire control selector. The selector is held in place the exact same way as a normal MP5 which uses a small steel tab that is cast onto the shaft. When moved to 12 o'clock the selector can be pulled out without any tools. The stop points are controlled by a ball bearing forced by a spring on the selector. As it follows the arc of travel it stops at S, E and F. S works perfectly as safety while E and F both allow the GSG to fire (only semi auto lol).
S for safety
E for Einz
F for F yeah!
12 o'clock to remove
pull straight up like on an MP5
Close up of the fire control selector (not polished or blued yet)
Here is a comparison to my old version using a modified fire control selector from the GSG522 conversion (reading it backwards)
The newer version allows simple thumb control of selector, the old version above did as well but with more reach needed.

Where can I get gsg stick mags? Everywhere is sold out. Are the pro mag ones reliable? Any difference?
I’ve been eyeing it up and my lock went from in stock to limited stock which usually means less than 5 guess I gotta go do it ! And then to browse forum more see what’s better about these new 9” in terms of parts and what needs to be modded now on them or if still all mods should be applied depending what I want with it
i have officially gone through all 170 pages of this thread, over 3 days. I just picked up a GSG16 2 days ago, new R/PAL Licensee. Gonna be fun to see where this leads me. Looks like a solid choice of firearm to mod. I have a problem keeping anything stock
