Any word on development of a short GSG-16 barrel?
- Thread starter SIG FAN
- Start date
L-W is one of the only companies that make .5" O.D. .22 blanks. Otherwise we would have to turn down a 1" O.D. blank and that would up the cost considerably. Also, Lothar-Walther make outstanding barrels. ( :
Maybe I’m alone in this, but a 3 lug style adapter would look awesome. I know we can’t use it for attaching anything, but it would look at home on a GSG 16 / 522.
^Agreed with Kratos, 3 lug style is what would look correct on the GSG16 with the Dlask 9" barrel.
We had thought of that but it adds a lot of complexity and expense. Let me back up a bit...
So the barrels we made here by hand, the prototypes, had an integral 1/2-28 threaded muzzle. This is great in theory because now you have a 'uge selection of readily available muzzle devices to use. But. When installing the barrel you need to insert the chamber end into the plastic ring in the body and screw the trunnion on while the barrel is captured inside that ring. Not super tough but not ideal for the layman. Our idea for the final production barrels will be to thread the muzzles M9 x .75 (same as any GSG pistol) so that you can install the trunnion easier and not have to worry about doing it in-situ. The M9 x .75 threads are the same as any other GSG pistol so the thread adapters are very easy to come by to make the final thread on the muzzle 1/2-28 tpi. If we added a 3-prong adapter then you now have 3 parts screwed together. Add a brake onto the 3-prong and whamo ! you 4 separate parts are making up the barrel assembly.

Count me in if i cand keep my stock.
Leigh, have a look at Amgstadt 3 lug. Brent from Wolverine saids he can bring them in for 80$. If you can do them in house for that price. Sure.
Btw, thing runs like a sewing machine with minimag/Rem thunderbolt. Its a bolt action with federal blue box.
