GSG-5 Input

[uhlan1]

Never heard of a GSG5 30 round mag. I know that if they exist, they are far from "regular".

Oh, I got a bunch of them. Easy to load too.
I like the gun, except when I have to clean it.
Always end up firing the other .22. Probably going to sell it, taking up limited safe space.

It's a fun plinking gun. I've upgraded all my parts and a HK stock. I don't get a chance to shoot much though and thinking about selling it.

GSG-5 is junk, it's on par quality wise with an airsoft rifle. It's a kick in the nuts to clean properly, you constantly are tightening things that come loose, good luck with an optic - the top rail wobbles and you'll never keep a zero.

Buy a Ruger 10/22 and don't look back.

unless you already have a 10/22

I've only shot one, and it jammed 2 to 3 times every magazine, I'm sure with a little tweaking it would work ok.

gen 1 or 2? mine hardly ever jams. i use the federal bulk 525 36gr, winchester bulk 500 or 550 (one of those) in 36gr also (but was more smoky than federal) or the federal bulk 325 40gr, and cci 36 gr. i have almost 3000 rd in mine and i have not shot it much in a long time after getting a into the 2500 range.

now if my marlin 795 had a softer pull like my gsg5, i'd be golden. that dang 795 trigger is so freaking heavy/stiff it's annoying as heck after a few mags.

don't look at the gsg5 as a precision 22lr rig. it's not. it's a fun rig. have that in mind and you'll be happy with it.
