Any word on development of a short GSG-16 barrel?

Dlask - ensure the T10 Torx screwdriver you use is high quality. The screws have shallow depth for the screwdriver and strip easily. Some screws like the ones holding down the top rail over the receiver are almost impossible to remove. Have a small easyout handy.

If you're referring to the two screws on the rail section closest to the butt stock, you can't remove them because those screws are not what is retaining the rail. If you had the best screw driver in the world you still couldn't remove them.

They are screwed into brass bushings which are sandwiched between the two plastic sections of the receiver. You must slightly separate both sections of the receiver to get it out...

Cool, I guess this is where they expect you to actually mount a scope, which needs to stay solid & zeroed.
The other picatinnies can be just the 2 tiny screws, because they're just for flashlights or bipods etc.

No, I don’t think so. It has to be like that because the screws would thread directly into the seam where the two halves of the receiver meet. They would have had to design a different section of rail for that spot so the screw holes are in a different location. That would have been too costly. So they re-use the same section of rail but add the bushings.

Hey boys, cross your finger and hopefully they can pull it off.

Talked to Leigh, the barrels shall be a green mountain and it will be threaded 1/2x28.

Yeah I tried to unscrew those screws, and it just free spun.
