++RESTOCKED++ Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for...
- Thread starter Dlask Arms
- Start date
So before we over sell these and get in trouble we did a definitive count of all the barrels and guns pre-sold. Turns out my math sucks and we actually have 10 barrels left. I have ordered 10 more rifles from the supplier but they will apparently not be here for a few weeks. This is good news and bad news.
Good news - there are 10 more complete rifles for sale that I will ad to the website.
Bad news - they may not be here in time to convert before we have to go to Europe in March.
Soooo......
If you do buy one pre-order spot from the website as of now the rifle *may* ship in 2-3 weeks. If not then you won't get it until the 3rd week of March or so. (which may not matter since the H&K butt stocks get in anyways....)

Why ? Regardless if these POF stocks fit (and I'm 99% certain they will) we can still get Airsoft units. If you wait and we only bring in a certain amount of the stocks the people that have already ordered will be offered first dibs on them so you would miss out anyways.
Rimfire OAL
Cuz GSG doesnt make them in 9mm
Some quick things here....
#1 - Guys, I know you are excited but please, please, please STOP ASKING when these will be done or when you can send in your rifles for the barrel swap. I have asked many times for you to be patient and am saying now, loud and clear, I will not be responding to any emails or phone calls on this anymore. Wouldn't be surprised if your order goes to the bottom of the pile too...
#2 - Yes, we can install your GSG 522 conversion kit. How much do we charge ? Our shop rate is $105/hr + taxes. How long does it take ? Not sure yet but I will do one here first and then make the time estimate and post here.
#3 - The POF fixed stock is en route to our exporter right now. Once he gets it we will meet him at the border to grab it and test it for fitment. If it meets our standards then we will order 50x more and have them shipped. I will update this as things play out and post the results here when available.
Hope you all had a good weekend and I'll talk to you very soon.

That muzzle looks so nice, could you post a close-up picture of it when you get them back?
Mine arrived this morning - awesome. Off to the indoor range tonight
Thanks Dlask/Leigh etc
Added an old AR15 A2 brake I had and a Bushnell TRS-25 on UTG 0.83 riser. Took off the handguard pic rails for now.
Will put part of a 5/522 kit on it after I run a bunch of rounds through it. Found a CYMA fixed stock in Hong Kong, it's on the way.
Question for you Leigh:
When I go to remove the threaded barrel adapter to install the GSG 5 kit have you used any type of loctite etc to hold the 9mm to 1/2-28 adapter on the barrel?
I don't want to start reefing on it if I need to apply some heat first.
Thanks

Make sure to use high velocity ammo. I took mine to the range on Saturday and only Cyclone HV ammo at I think 1350fps cycled reliably. I had aome CCI standard velocity at around 1000fps and some Winchester stuff at around 1200fps and both had cycling iissues. Great fun little plinker though.
I'll be trying cheap Fed Target 1200 fps but will take some HV just in case, thx
These things are supposed to cycle with pretty much anything from what I have read. Will report back
edit - back from range, 20 yards indoor.
This rifle is really fun to shoot!!
Federal Auto Match Target white box of 325 w/40 grain RN lead @ 1200 fps ran first 50 rounds no issues then started to refuse to cycle every second or third round.
Next up was CCI AR Tactical 40 grain RN copper plated @ 1200 fps with absolutely no issues.
Back to the Federal and got same FTF every second or third round. Lubed up the bolt to try running it wet after the FTF started - no change on the Federal.
Changed to CCI Velocitor 40 grain HP copper plated @ 1435 fps with absolutely no issues.
So, could be regular lead bullets at 1200 fps are on the edge for some reason - don't know why the first 50 through the barrel were flawless.
Will see if this changes in future with more rounds down the pipe but for sure the copper plated rounds at 1200 fps are just fine.
No matter on the Federal to me, they shoot fine in my S&W Victory.

Went to put on the GSG 5/522 kit today.
Called Dlask to see about how the 9mm to 1/2-28 adapter was attached, Joe assured me it was not loctited on but only hand tight. In my case it definitely was loctited on and I had to use a heat gun and channel locks to get it to budge. It took considerable force to remove the adapter - once removed I had to chuck it in my lathe and skim a few thou to get some plier marks off it. Cold blued it afterwards, looks just fine. The remnants of the blue loctite was left on the threads and I cleaned it off and once re-installed with no thread locker it went on hand tight with no issues to remove now.
Also noted when trying to remove the bolt assembly that two of the (three) side screws holding the body together were slightly overtightened - this would not allow the bolt to come out of the upper once the bolt stop was removed. About an eight of a turn or less on each screw and it was free. This may have been why there were some feeding issues with the one particular type of ammo, but I won't get to the range again until next week to test.
Waiting on a forward handguard and fixed stock to show up from Hong Kong.
As I mentioned above, this is a really fun rifle and the look of it with the 9" barrel is awesome.

Question, is the front sight at the same level as the rear one? looks like the original rear sight is slightly higher.
