How are the drum mags? My GSG 15 is great for having fun. Not a single hiccup in 600-700 rounds. Although they look pretty cool with a 9” barrel and lots of airsoft parts, if the drum mags are only so-so then I don’t know if it’s worth changing.

The gun is great! I have a Dlask with GSG 5 conversion Kit and a few airsoft parts. Makes it feel much better and adds just the right amount of weight. It is very accurate shooting 4 inch steel, And a 3 inch dueling tree at 70ish yards.
As for the drum mag... I found it annoying and slow to load and overall not that great. Higher failure rate and it made the rifle a bit unweildy due to the extra weight and forward bulk. Not worth it in my opinion better off getting a couple extra stick mags.

I can not find the info about the slide catch lever spring...
I know there was some kind of pen hack.
Need to read this, anyone got forum link?
Searched a bunch

Here is a quick video on the take down of a GSG16 or GSG522 if you go to 2 min 40 sec mark it explains about the spring.

The small spring from a clicky pen. As a replacement for the bolt hold open lever.
My son has a GSG STG44, it is a heavy beast, once you learn how to load the mags, it's fine. Same with my GSG16, it eats everything I load into it. Had a bag of mixed crap .22 I have saved over the years and the stick mags and drum work great, just make sure of the angle of the round when loading.
Friggin loud with the short barrel, but the GSG16 is the fav with all my kids and friends when we are shooting spinners.
You will love this gun, I replaced a bunch of plastic with metal and other parts, but don't know if it was worth it.

Took advantage of the SFRC 15% off, shipped to my door for $480, can’t go wrong. Been wanting one since they came out. Very fun rifle, just need to find a gsg 522 cocking tube or the conversion kit...
I got mine from SFRC too and same pricing as you..mine is the FDE version.

Nice...where did you get the foreend?
The rifle definitively feels alot less cheap with the conversion kit parts on, moar metal, heavier, etc.
The HK takedown pins that are tighter also help alot!
Also, yeah, those basic open sights on the gun are crapola. If only it had something closer to the HK offererings!
On a semi unrelated note, I might sell off my 522 metal cocking tube (2nd pic), and some parts from the conversion kit I didn't use (including the grip..), and a rear HKish metal drum sight.
Not sure if I'll do the whole lot deal, or particular parts... mmm
