That's weird, mine didn't come with a washer when I take off the stainless steel/ chrome screw from the metal plate, on the back of the bolt. I've heard some people that have experience this issue, I don't think it messes with reliability issues. Even though mine jams a lot.

I just shot around 500 rounds through my gsg16 today and decided to check your video to give it a good cleaning. Straight to the point and good advice about getting take down pins. One thing I noticed is that there wasn’t a lot of carbon, far less than my AR’s put out. I strictly use cci mini mags so that might be why and I also Never had a feeding problem but one thing I did notice is there was a ton of sandy materiel. Is that what’s meant by when they say 22’s run dirty? Like literal sand. Anyway I cleaned and lubed the heck out of it. I like my guns to run very wet. Thanks again and subscribed.
No, sand is not what they mean by .22s running dirty. That one is on wherever it was that you went shooting. I'd watch that one as it'll promote accelerated wear on the internals.
Great video. Thank you. I just bought one of these and I love it. Now from all the comments not just this video but reviews and other videos I've seen people complain and say cleaning this is a pain in the butt.

4:10 To anyone watching this for GSG disassembly/cleaning, be VERYYYYYY CAREFUL w/ the BHO spring, that shit can snap right off when you take the upper and lower receivers apart, so pay attention to where it flies off to so you can retrieve it lol (p.s. good luck putting the spring back in....)
Saw one of these in use at my Range. Spoke to the owner, he expressed frustration over the amount of times it failed to feed. As I watched, it appeared numerous. He liked the gun in every other respect and was in the process of experimenting with different ammo to improve the situation. Even sent the gun to an armorer without improvement. Excellent explanation of the takedown on this video. I’m interested in owning this gun, but want to see more information before I purchase to see how widespread the FtF issue might be.
I can understand his frustration. Have had mine for roughly a year. Have 3 stick mags that feed perfectly regardless of HV or standard ammo. Went out to play with my drum the other day loaded with Aguila Super Extra rounds and had failure one after another. Unloaded 40 of 50 rounds by hand after giving up.... at least I didn't load the full 100+ like I was planning. Absolutely love and enjoy this little rifle. Works like a dream for me.... maybe stay away from the drum mag. If the fella your talking about was using regular 22rd. stick mags and still having problems i would say somethings up with his rifle. Mine has only let me down when using the drum that one particular day. And that could be ammo related, maybe even my own damn fault somehow. Other than that no issues, and tons of fun! For the Price. The look. The cheap ammo. Its a great package, and that 9" barrel model looks even better IMO. Hope this helped!
Thanks! First you reveal the mysteries of the m10x to me and now the plinker! You ever have a problem with the trigger/ safety sticking? I fired mine once and now it’s stuck in safe 🤪
Glad you found it useful :) No I have never had them stick. I would suggest a really good clean and lube since they fix those kind of issues 90% of the time.
Remove the pistol grip from the trigger assembly. Check the spring that presses against the base of the safety. Could be bent, or pushing with too much force immobilzing the safety.
Thank you for this video. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep those atrocious poorly designed magazines from getting binding up and causing a misfeed?

Do you find with a good cleaning/greasing like this and high velocity rounds , you rarely have misfires?

Perfect video thanks. I'm new to target shooting and have just put through about 600 rounds (2 range visits) in the GSG-16 so far, so it's probably time for me to do this. I do however use the snake bore after every visit to clean the barrel. Had a quick question, is this the most cleaning you would ever need to do, or is there a more involved process that you would do once and a while?
@@BlackBearOutdoors Thanks, it is a pretty fun hobby. I ended up finding a tan version one like you have as well. Took me a few months though, as they were all sold out everywhere. If you don't mind me asking, how many rounds do you put through before doing a cleaning like this?
@@saskatchewandave Personally probably about 500 or so. It runs fairly clean :) Depending on the ammo you use, it could be a bit more or a bit less. Just keep an eye on it and you will find the round count that works for yours

after how many rounds do you recommend cleaning the gun? also.... is my brand new GSG-16 ready to be fired right out of the box? or should i lubricate it first?
It should be ok but I prefer lubing it prior to the first range day. I usually clean after 500 or so rounds but again that is personal preference. Hope this helps
I’m looking to buy a GSG-16 for my first gun, never cleaned a gun before and this looked a little intimidating. Any of you that have done it, and maybe followed along with this- was it tricky? Or fairly simple
I have been using CLP on all my guns for a very long time. I have not personally had any issues with it causing damage to either plastic or wood stocks. I normally just wipe it off if I do splash some. That is my experience with it. Thanks for supporting our channel!
My GSG 16 arrived yesterday and I will have to check but I don't think the disassembly screws are flat head. it came with some tiny hex keys which didn't seem to fit anything in particular ie. nothing on the rifle. Anyone care to comment? None of the screws seemed to match any tools I had in my toolbox.
That bolt stop tab (held my bolt) is held up in place by two long black rods with flathead ends on them, so the tab can’t move down… that tab will not come out for me because of those rods. What am I missing?
@@milednakhel7026 it’s been a while so I can’t remember exactly. I’ll give mine a once over tomorrow to prepare for summer and I’ll get back to you about it.
@@r3mote Never mind lol figured it out. It was a simple solution, the lever was cocked back. Simply uncock it so the two long rods go away and you can take out the tab. Thank you tho!
Funny you should mention that. You did not have to on mine. A friend of mine bought one about six months ago and with his you had to remove those first. Perhaps a slight change in design?
Omg, Im embarrassed. I realize after the fact. By setting the cock handle moves the action in such a way as to be able to remove the back stop. To be fair, your video isn't the only one to miss this step for us newbies. Otherwise, I really enjoyed your video. Cheers 🍻
I don’t know if my gsg is the only one that has this problem , but the screw or push pin that he takes out before the stock screw (infront of the trigger) I can’t get it out , everytime I turn it the other side of the screw turns as well no matter how hard I try it doesn’t budge, I don’t want to try to hard without the fear of breaking something , please help
You need to use two screw drivers. Hold the one side while turning the other side. Otherwise it won't come out and it will just turn on the opposite side like you described. Hope this helps.
I found thesd but it says i need to modify my rifle to make them fit: The standard kit includes 3 small pins & 1 large pin. You can secure your forearm and trigger group with the small pins without modification. You must alter the opening through the buttstock and trigger group housing tailpiece to use either the 3rd small pin or the large pin (9/32 or metric equivalent).
Anthony Reyes iIt sits inside a little groove or slot. So once you remove the hex bolt you need to lift it out of the slot before bringing it towards you. Hope that makes sense.
Hey man great vid! Take down doesn't seem too bad, but I remember from my MK22 (Scar clone) that it was a real bitch when you had to eventually do a detail strip of the bolt sleeve/carrier. Do you clean after every range trip? I'm curious how many rounds it takes (without cleaning) before you begin getting malfunctions?
Nick St-Jean I have never had malfunctions due to not cleaning this rifle. I cleaned it after maybe 300 rounds. So not sure how much you would have to fire it before you see carbon related issues. Thanks for supporting our channel!
How tf do you pull the stop out???? After unscrewing the bolt, a washer came out that I didn’t see in this video and then no idea what to do from there. The metal stop won’t come out
Its a bit tricky but I use a hex wrench that fits in the hole where the bolt/screw came out of. You need to lift it up out of a groove it is in instead of pulling it towards you. Hope that makes sense.
I think these are the pins rrages.com/pins/net.htm Update: got in the pins they work great. Have 1 extra small and a large pin which i dont have a use for... yet..
I believe these are the ones that fit the GSG 16 www.wolverinesupplies.com/ProductDetail/HK1200459_-HK-Push-Pin-for-MP5--G3--HK33-ECT---will-fit-ISSC-MK22
That is a tough question to advise you on. I can only suggest that you look at the manual for the "exploded parts" image. That may tell you where it goes. Alternatively drop GSG an email. They may be able to answer this one for you. Sorry I can't be of more help.

My bolt is stuck open but the slide is smooth. And it’s a brand new gun
Had a small spring and washer come out while taking out my lower receiver. Won’t be shooting this any time soon until I figure out where it goes 😬
My GSG 16 arrived yesterday and I will have to check but I don't think the disassembly screws are flat head. it came with some tiny hex keys which didn't seem to fit anything in particular ie. nothing on the rifle. Anyone care to comment? None of the screws seemed to match any tools I had in my toolbox.
I’m having trouble with the ejector. The slide is stuck open. Just bought it like this from cabelas so annoying
I just left a comment on your other video asking if you can upload this. Thanks!!
2003jrF4i You are most welcome 😉
That bolt stop tab (held my bolt) is held up in place by two long black rods with flathead ends on them, so the tab can’t move down… that tab will not come out for me because of those rods. What am I missing?
Nvm I figured it out
hey man, i am having the same issue. How did you figure it out pls help?
@@milednakhel7026 it’s been a while so I can’t remember exactly. I’ll give mine a once over tomorrow to prepare for summer and I’ll get back to you about it.
@@milednakhel7026 reply with something so I have the notification to remind me. I don’t trust my memory, lol
@@r3mote Never mind lol figured it out. It was a simple solution, the lever was cocked back. Simply uncock it so the two long rods go away and you can take out the tab. Thank you tho!
why did we forget to mention the two long pins in the way of the bolt stop need to be removed 1st???
Funny you should mention that. You did not have to on mine. A friend of mine bought one about six months ago and with his you had to remove those first. Perhaps a slight change in design?
Omg, Im embarrassed. I realize after the fact. By setting the cock handle moves the action in such a way as to be able to remove the back stop. To be fair, your video isn't the only one to miss this step for us newbies. Otherwise, I really enjoyed your video.
Cheers 🍻
I don’t know if my gsg is the only one that has this problem , but the screw or push pin that he takes out before the stock screw (infront of the trigger) I can’t get it out , everytime I turn it the other side of the screw turns as well no matter how hard I try it doesn’t budge, I don’t want to try to hard without the fear of breaking something , please help
You need to use two screw drivers. Hold the one side while turning the other side. Otherwise it won't come out and it will just turn on the opposite side like you described. Hope this helps.
Great video thank you for sharing this
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for supporting our channel!
What can I use as a substitute for CLP?
There should be a number of alternatives available at your gun store.
Did you happen to get the takedown pins yet? Thanks
Not yet, but I am planning on getting some.
Ok keep us posted. Do you take the optic or red dots offfor every cleaning?
@@binkyana Nope I leave them on. In this case I was in the middle of switching back to the red dot after using a scope for the accuracy video.
Could i remove the faux suppressor?
I don't believe you can
Yes you can.... There is a set screw and then it slips off
Nice work
Thankyou.
Are they the hk g3 pins?
I found thesd but it says i need to modify my rifle to make them fit:
The standard kit includes 3 small pins & 1 large pin. You can secure your forearm and trigger group with the small pins without modification. You must alter the opening through the buttstock and trigger group housing tailpiece to use either the 3rd small pin or the large pin (9/32 or metric equivalent).
What if the bolt stop doesn’t want to come out
Anthony Reyes iIt sits inside a little groove or slot. So once you remove the hex bolt you need to lift it out of the slot before bringing it towards you. Hope that makes sense.
@@BlackBearOutdoors Thankyou for your help grate video
@@anthonyreyes6046 Hope it was helpful :)
do you happen to have a link for the pins?
I think HK Parts in the US carries them and Wolverine supplies in Canada does also.
You can even use MP5 push pins from airsoft, I did that with my last GSG16 I had....I seriously regret selling it especially with the 9” barrel it had
Hey man great vid! Take down doesn't seem too bad, but I remember from my MK22 (Scar clone) that it was a real bitch when you had to eventually do a detail strip of the bolt sleeve/carrier.
Do you clean after every range trip? I'm curious how many rounds it takes (without cleaning) before you begin getting malfunctions?
Nick St-Jean I have never had malfunctions due to not cleaning this rifle. I cleaned it after maybe 300 rounds. So not sure how much you would have to fire it before you see carbon related issues. Thanks for supporting our channel!
@@BlackBearOutdoors Right on. Thanks for the info!
How tf do you pull the stop out???? After unscrewing the bolt, a washer came out that I didn’t see in this video and then no idea what to do from there. The metal stop won’t come out
Its a bit tricky but I use a hex wrench that fits in the hole where the bolt/screw came out of. You need to lift it up out of a groove it is in instead of pulling it towards you. Hope that makes sense.
I cant get my stop block out anyone know why??
You didn't charge it ( wen put it altogether) with the bolt lever.that would confirm it was working and ready to ROCK!!
I think these are the pins rrages.com/pins/net.htm
Update: got in the pins they work great. Have 1 extra small and a large pin which i dont have a use for... yet..
I believe these are the ones that fit the GSG 16 www.wolverinesupplies.com/ProductDetail/HK1200459_-HK-Push-Pin-for-MP5--G3--HK33-ECT---will-fit-ISSC-MK22
Wolverines only ship in Canada. I am US. Got a set of the rage coming. Will let you know how they turn out.
@@michaeldamskey1025 Great thanks!
Got in the pins from rage. Small ones fit perfect!
I have a tiny spring that was left over after taking it down 😭 help please
That is a tough question to advise you on. I can only suggest that you look at the manual for the "exploded parts" image. That may tell you where it goes. Alternatively drop GSG an email. They may be able to answer this one for you. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I just did the same thing, here is a reddit with the fix. www.reddit.com/r/canadaguns/comments/ej6dpo/gsg16_watch_your_slide_catch_lever_spring/
What rounds do you prefer to use with the GSG-16?
Proud Canadian Remington subsonics 1050fps and CCI ran great. Check out our review of it where we test a bunch of different brands. Thanks for supporting our channel!
1050 isn't enuff.... You need HV 1260+ in order to run flawlessly
@Mike Usa the man just said it works. Yes their manual recommends hv. Experiences vary buddy
Thank you for sharing Great job
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for supporting our channel!
That’s a Saffa US immigrant accent if ever I heard one. Lekker, Boet
The most unfortunate thing about this gun is how complex it's assembled
@@thekingofcool1641 I agree. Fun to shoot though
@@BlackBearOutdoors oh absolutely, and here in Canada the 22 rd mag is amazing. All other rifles are pinned to 5
I just spent 45 mins putting the gun back together to come back to your video to realize I had already put the bolt stop in and was trying to make the lower go in after 🤦🤦🤦
