12 ways to Pimp my GSG-16 with 522 Conversion kit. MP5 SD.

GSG-5/522 furniture and kits are impossible to find in Canada and if you do, it would not be at reasonable prices so airsoft furniture are a good substitute and at a fraction of the cost. Most airsoft are readily available on the internet and the quality are good value. Best places to buy are from online airsoft stores or dealers around the world rather than from Aliexpress and Ebay which I found to be more expensive and I couldn't combine shipping. By all means these are not everything that are available so go explore for more and have fun.

[@ShiftSeth]

Are you sure yours is a GSG 16? I just bought one and I was taking it apart, but mine doesn't have the bushing with the pin hole under the handguard. I removed the plastic picatinny rails and their is a plastic m-lok frame. The m-lok frame mounts to the gun by 3 small screws(1 on each side towrds the back, and 1 on the bottom towards the front). I wanted to put on an airsoft handguard like the triangle one you have, but without that pin hole mount, I don't think I can make it work.

[@gnutzguy]

dont you think if mine wasnt a gsg-16 others would have said so in the last two years? you are the first. yes, im positive mine is a gsg16. i got a new vid coming in a few weeks and it will show you how to install a triangle handguard to a standard gsg16 charging tube.

[@drewpellowski9136]

Where did you get the stuff at

[@jmfc5]

What size push pins will I need for the handguard, stock and lower receiver? Are they all the same size?

[@gnutzguy]

you must have missed it, its in the vid.

[@sunnesonne]

If I’m not adding any parts to the gun, I should just get long push pins? I’m tired of unscrewing pins every 2-3 days for cleaning

[@gnutzguy]

yes, HK pins are very convenient but dont get long cos its for fixed stock, get the receiver pins, get two.

[@Grayman58]

Also I was thinking to make a hand guard from some rubber pipe used in heating and ventilation

[@gnutzguy]

sure, do it and have fun doing it.

[@brannonphillips1993]

How well did the CYMA parts hold up to use? When online I found that a lot of airsoft for mp5 is sold. Also found alot if metal parts that can replace the gsg plastic bits. Cyma in the US says airsoft? Making sure I'm seeing the correct item. O know the gsg is only a .22 and polymer, kinda cool to find metal airsoft to replace the parts with.

[@gnutzguy]

as i said, for the price from china the cyma is good value. if im too rough and crack it, i wont cry. i bought all my airsoft parts last year before the rest of the canadians emptied the shelves worldwide. unfortunate, most of the airsoft factories are located in china and they were shut down due to covid, even if production resumed, supply lines has been cut from that country, reduced flights... its takes ridiculously long time to get non-gun items, like 4 months.

@@gnutzguy OK, just making sure. I am ordering the Golden Eagle based on your review. I already bought the HK pins. BTW - The foregrips/forend dont fit the stock GSG16 unless you have a converted cocking tube, like you have. I ordered a new handguard first thinking it would just fit, again, based on your videos.

Is yours the Gen 1 model? I just bought one today and mine has a top picatinny rail made of plastic and the sights dont look anything like yours. Yours have the sights like the H&K MP5 22 . Did yours come like that or did you do a conversion on that as well?

[@gnutzguy]

There are no gen. It's either carbine 16" barrel or SBR 9". Check out my other videos. You will seek the rear sight is an option.

[@santoslorenz]

He customized his Front Iron sights already; I saw another video of him replacing the stock iron sights to a round Mp5-looking sights. I just bought mine this week as well and he removed his front barrel rails, I guess for him to attach his new mods easily. There are basically 2 revisions of this gun besides the 9" barrel version. If you received the Flat paddle charging handle it means you received the first version of GSG-16 which eventually they replaced it in the 2nd revision with a tube charging handle which is better and sturdier, you can do an HK slap every time without worrying that it'll break

Good information, except cutting down the collapsing stock rails (you could end up with a working rifle that is too short and illegal doing that). And I have to say, I cannot for the life of me agree with anyone who says good cinematography. Too much is put out of frame and you move too fast for your eyes to focus on the object. If you rehearse before filming and review before posting you will improve viewability a ton. But, good effort and overall good info.
