GSG 16 Range Review

[lone ranger]

I seen it sitting on the counter at the gun store & said...hmmm that looks like FUN , so I bought it.
Didnt know anything about it and hadnt seen any reviews...bought it Blind.

It came with some good instructions,..a" bag of sites"....some allen wrenches & 1 Long Magazine.
Its light weight..its very short when collapsed.
Oiled it up...Loaded the mag..took 3 shots....shooting about 6 inches low at 50 yards.
Put a shorter front site on it.....set the windage...bang on !
I could easily hit all my 8inch steel targets at 24, 50 & 100 yards.
No feeding issues...no jamming issues . "using Federal blue box bulk."

I'm not going to knock the quality ...it is what it is. Lots of plastic...lots of things could break if dropped on a concrete surface. It wont stand up to ruger 10/22 quality for sure.

But it sure put a SMILE on my Face shooting it....and I kinda needed that after all these lock downs and the world going to 5hit LOL. Glad i bought it..and affordable to shoot.
for fun I set up Targets and ran it like an AR in a 3gun event. Kinda brought back fond memories.

going out today again and put another couple rounds through it. 22lr is sooo much cheaper than 223

a lot of fun to shoot, however the quality of build is sucks. the upper receiver is two pieces of plastic screwed together. most of threads are plastic.

Yeah I’d love a decently made one, be in for sure !

up date.
well another range trip and another 200 rounds down the pipe.
Put on a red dot and it works fine out to 100yards.
all 3 mags wok PERFECT. No issues.

However.....I tried the DRUM 110 mag, and it jammed every 5 rounds. AARRGGGG!!!
Maybe you will have better luck,,,,,,I returned it....never again. Seems like every drum I try in anything is problematic.

I am having soo much fun with this gsg16. I like it the best out of the gsg line up.

I had the MP40 in 22lr and it was good. Had the stg44 and it was heavy with poor accuracy.

It is one of my favourites. Always have fun shooting it.
