Picked up 2 rifles from Northern Elite Firearms, a GSG-15 .22lr and a Russian SKS in Tapco furnishing.
Ill cut right to the chase on the GSG-15. Upon opening and handling this rifle, I was quite impressed. Weight seemed decently balanced, not made of a ton of plastic, all in all it seemed like a quality rifle. I cycled a mag in/out a few times and it locked in/unlocked and dropped out very smoothly.
The rifle has 3 points on either side to install your charge handle. I found this excellent for 2 reasons. 1) you can adjust it to fit multiple sized people 2) for those that are used to right hand charge, while having someone with them wanting left hand charge, its easy to swap ect. I myself prefer left hand charge, allowing me to keep the rifle shouldered and my action hand still ready, loading mag/charging with my left making reload/reacquire much faster.
The wife and i took both guns to the range to break them in last weekend. I have to say, for the price, we-and a few of the other shooters that i let try it out- were quite impressed with this gun. Minus a jam, which wasnt a the rifle, it ran well. We cycled probably 10 22 round mags through it and other than the one jam, i had no issues with it. We even let a young shooter and his dad ( boy was probably 9 or 10) let loose a few mags after a run through of a "black style rifle". The excitement of the boys -and his fathers-face probably made the trip.
All in all, im very happy with the GSG-15, ita a nice "fun-gun", works extremely well for the cost, and as accurate as a .22 can be, it ran well in that field. I would definitely buy it again.
Ill continue this thread when i get home wfrom my 28 day work run and add any updates. I plan to tear it down to see what a full throrough inspection/clean is like, so ill add more then. Ill try to get around to adding some pics when i get a chance.
