The AR15 and any variant or modification is restricted by name.

So modifying an AR15 still keeps it Restricted. That’s not the case for the GSG 16, it appears anyway.

You SPECIFICALLY SAID "you cant chop it yourself,you have to go trought a gunsmith to be legal". It doesn't matter who "chops" it. You can't chop it, nobody can "chop" it. That's the point.
If you get arrested you can provide a receipt, point to the manufacturer's stamp on the barrel or show the barrel in a catalogue... that's the difference. I didn't make the law, it's stupid, yes. But that's what it says.

Doesn't have to come from GSG. Look at the 10/22.. You can buy a 8" barrel from Dlask, and slap it on it. As long as the barrel is a manufactured to that length, not one cut down to length and for that gun. And you keep it 26" OAL, it's a NR. Back in the day there was 8" krinker plinker kits. 8" barrel with folding stocks,you could register it as a restricted and allow the stock to stay folded, or could pin the stock from closing and be a NR.
So if say Dlask makes a 10" barrel for the GSG that is a drop in. You could slap it on, as long as you pin the stock to maintain 26", you're good.
Otherwise a full auto AR-15 would be a restricted firearm, if what you are saying is that the prescribed restricted classification overrides a prohibited modification.

Yes.
The laws are a MESS. But even the NFA has a page explaining just this. “The specific overides the general”. From my reading taking a 18.5” Roger 10/22 and putting a 16” barrel on it is prohibited. Now how anyone would prove you didn’t buy the 16” version in the first place.... It’s a rediculous mess of laws. AR15s stay restricted if you shorten the barrel but a .22 GSG 16 does not.

Which is totally fine IMHO. The problem is you were specifically saying you were going to cut down the barrel or have it cut down by a gunsmith... which is illegal.
Was the stock a straight drop in change?Just gonna leave these here...
SOOOO much better than the stock, stock. Also feels sturdier when shouldering it.
The stock rails are metal, the OEM ones aren't. My gun's now 87% plastic and 13% metal.. lol

This stock does go forward more than the OEM one, you'll have to cut off a little section so it clears the ejection window. (You can see this in the first pic)
Next step, 'fixing' those front rails/guard so it look better.
'yes'. you unscrew the oem one, and screw this one in with the same screw. Note that you will probably have to dremel off 1/2" of the stock arm that covers the ejection port. As stated, it take a little more effort to slide it in/out, but after a while I guess it gets easier. Also note that there is not stopper for this, if you swing the locking lever in the open position, you can pull the whole stock out of the body. It's easy to slide it back in though.
For 35$, nothing I've noted is a deal breaker.
Where did I even use the word (or something even close) to "chop"??

Two versions of a butt stock rail delete/cheek riser I'm trying out. I'm leaning towards the small version... It actually puts my cheek in the perfect position for the TRS-25. I take back what I said earlier in the thread, a cheek riser can definitely work... Also hides that section of rail nicely. I like this better than an airsoft stock. I'm gonna try a different angle on the rear end of it I think. The small one seems to work just as well as the big one as a cheek riser, surprisingly... Opinions?
