I love your fore grip.
Where did you get it and how is it attached?

Came off of a tippman bt delta paintball gun I had years ago I got rid of it when it broke but I kept the handguard because it may be usefully one day. I just tried to line it up best I could and drilled a hole through the plastic for the push pin to go through and it slides on fine.

It has to be factory made at whatever length you desire it can't be cut down shorter if I understand correctly

If its a blank, you can still cut it as the barrel isnt complete yet. Once you cut to the desired length, then start full chambering and threading on the trunion, there shall be no more cutting as the barrel is now pretty much set for a semi.

Can you use an airsoft lower? I found a couple online but not sure if the trigger group will fit in an airsoft one.

So, GSG trigger housing is just plastic and they wouldn't send it.

Its not the trigger group u have to worry about, rather is the rear take down pin. Most modern day airsoft mp5 lower has no rear take down block. They go through the upper like the real mp5.

In order to use an airsoft lower, 1 must ensure that the lower use has the big giantic rear square take down block.

If not, you will have no way of attaching the stock unless you feel like drilling a hole through the upper
 
I am going back to HK again, I am bringing more lowers over. I will confirm once price I am there to pick it up at the local shop.

Hey all.
Took my gsg out this past weekend and what a blast. But I do have a question.
First off, I’m a left shooter, so maybe other lefty’s can chime in on this.
I was shooting and kept getting powder blowback in my face every time I pulled the trigger.
Anyone else experienced this before?
For reference I was shooting CCI Stingers, Thunderbolt, and Federal 525 ammo.

Thoughts ?
 
Switch to right hand. Problem solved.

Its a blow back firearm, you are going encounter that problem regardless of what firearm it is.

I knew it was a blow back firearm, I’ve just never experienced it with any other blowback type firearm.
And it wasn’t a little bit, it was every shot.
Thought it was kind of odd.
 
Hey could you guys help a guy out with a bit of advice.

I bought this for my 13 year old son and I’m looking for an optic.
I was thinking either a RDS or a 1-6 .
Using it for plinking and small game.

Also is there an aftermarket trigger available, one with a faster reset.

Thanks
