I wanted to do this but didn't know if it was possible. Does it run reliably?

Runs like a top, even Std Velocity CCI
Have almost 1200 rounds through it now, have had the odd failure to feed but had those before too

This is a beauty! I don’t supposed you’d trade it for a beauty lee Enfield lol
Got to shoot mine today. What do I mod to make it cycle with regular 22 ammo? I couldn't get it to cycle more than 4 times, and it stovepiped twice in 3 mags. It almost seemed like the rounds were ;racking; inside the mag and coming up on an angle.
Also interested in a better rear sight (its way too damn small, the front post completely fills it!) or even an RDS with the mp5 style frame.

Which ammo did you try? Did you try a variety of brands?
Mine will NOT feed hollow point ammo. I must use solid point, and it will only feed reliably with CCI Mini Mag 40gr CPRN.
Yours could be picky like mine. Try solid point (round nose) ammo if you haven’t already tried that.

I found the GSG16 HATES being dirty, make sure she is clean before a shoot and use ammo thats relatively low on carbon.
I found Federal cycles nicely and has minimal gunk. Remington Goldenbullet has been the worst for me

I would thoroughly clean your rifle first.
Then, I would buy a whole bunch of 50-100 round packs of different .22 to try out. You’ll probably find something the gun likes (hopefully the cheap stuff). I’ve tried 25+ different types of ammo before I found one that functioned near 100%. Only one other brand functioned even close to that. The rest worked so poorly, it was a joke. Some of these GSG rifles are picky with ammo.
I’d try this, and then report back if you still have problems. Also, the mags hold 22 rounds officially. But you can fit 24 rounds in. Some people load them to 24 and run into feeding problems. Others (like me) load 24, and the rifle functions fine. Just FYI.

Does anyone else have the ATI version from the US / irunguns? I have that model and it's been great with all the 22LR HV that I've tried, as well as CCI Semi-Auto Quiet (835FPS) and Standard Velocity (1070FPS - subsonic) - i do overload the mags to 24, without issue.
Even after installing the Dlask 9" barrel, it's cycled fine, which is a shock to me, as the shorter barrel usually means less blowback pressure.

Odd mine fed hollow points well, then again I only tried CCI subsonic HPs. Mine did not like federal bulk as I had the most jams with it. I run mine wet.
