[thebirdbath]

Whats the Hebrew written on your arm? Check out my channel.

[1997LT1Camaro]

Hey nice vid. Have they fixed anything on the charging handle? I remember it was peening from people doing the slap to charge the rifle.

[sheepdogMSP8117]

I just picked up this rifle yesterday. Your videos have been extremely helpful. Thank you!!!!

[mgdiver]

YOU ARE MODIFIYING YOUR FIREARM IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. ATF SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.

[mgdiver]

NEXT TIME YOU DO A "FULL TEARDOWN HOW-TO" VIDEO, MAKE SURE YOU DO JUST THAT, AND DON'T DO IT AS AN AFTER THOUGHT! WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN JUST MAKING REFERENCE TO THE THREE BOLT JACKET SCREWS. ALSO, YOU SHOULD KNOW THE SIZE OF YOUR HARDWARE AND THE SIZE OF THE DRIVER NEEDED.

[Speedogg138]

@mgdiver Well, we can see your Caps Lock key is functioning. :)

[ClayIsLegit]

thank you very much for these videos i just finished my upgrade on the 522 sd it was quick and easy thanks to you

[ClayIsLegit]

which screws do you need to put lock tight on?

[jbbt4]

Scruggs

Just bought my GSG5 from a friend. Didn't have any type of manual for the disassembly. This 4 part series makes it a breeze! GOOD JOB! THANKS!

[mfmayes49]

WOW!!.great video. I used your video on upgrading my GSG-522 to GSG-5. The trigger part was a great help.

[tim06291971]

Thanks for the Video! Now I know where that damn little bolt hold open spring is and where it goes! Great vid! 

[pipersmitty]

@2:45 I cannot get the stop out after removing the allen screw. I have a new sd and there are two long bolts that keep the stop from being wiggled out. Do they have to be taken out? Also I found a small set screw loose in my foregrip I think its from the tip near the bottom of the front site. If I set that screw I cant screw the suppressor down. WTF is up with this sd?

[pipersmitty]

@pipersmitty that was the bolt stop... STill cannot remove it- those two long screws are in the way- what are those, I dont see them on the earlier gsg's

[SadieG17]

hey thanks for the awesome vid man. i have few questions though, im having a hard time getting the cocking tube/front sight off my gsg. i dont know how big this difference is but at 5:20, you point to the three screws that must be removed in order to get the cocking tube off. the very first screw you point to, i have another screw off to the right of that one, so theres four altogether. do you know what the fourth screw is? and im just not sure what else could be holding that cocking tube on.

[mitsub1tchy]

I F**ked up!! The "Mystery spring" dropped out and I ran it over with my chair. You know where I can get another "Mystery spring"? Please help!!

[TheShawnt007]

My gun has 4 pins that hold the receiver together not 3. You should remind people not to lose the locking washer for the screw on the bolt stop.

[aadrianlee]

gsg 5 is a lode of s,..t

[majormadmax]

Thanks very much for posting this, I needed to replace my barrel and couldn't find instructions on how to do this. Thanks to your vid, I can not only do that but I am also going to get the screw upgrade kit from rrages! Cheers! M2

[boostinbildo]

Where did you get the pushpins you mentioned you have for removing the forgrip and the stock?

[trelujan]

hey thanks for the help man i relly needed it

[jaybay101]

where do u get the H&K push pins?

[Chassidoftherebbe]

"Honestly" I don't have the balls to do this to my gun....seriously looks like a surgery precedure on a lovely gun! What if I screw it up? I mean you can always run a sponge cord through the barrel for cleaning, why go all the way with complications?

[Mark37251]

@Chassidoftherebbe the screws that come with the gun wear loose over time, if you dont replace them with better ones or at least tear it down and re-tighten them every 8000 rounds or so the gun could have a serious malfunction.

[netmasta10bt]

will this gun ignite tannerite?

[hnbsniper]

Thank you.

[jettaguy83]

THANK YOU!! I found the "Mystery Spring" on my bedroom floor and have been wondering where the heck it goes. I owe you

[EscoSupaFly]

thnx for this series of video, some minor differences with the titanium anniv. edition but the rrages upgrade kit has all the screws needed.

[9mmBlanketParty]

I'm still having an issue with loose bolt jacket screws even after the rrages upgrade and loctite. Any suggestions?

[91cannibal]

can you clean any gun with carb or brake cleaner? or is that a big NO? thanks

[okfirearms]

I would say big NO unless you're dealing with severe corrosion and there are no plastic/polymer components. Maybe for cleaning gunk out of an old barrel or components of a parts kit.

[91cannibal]

sweet. good thing i asked first haha. thanks alot. happy holidays.

[okfirearms]

Same to ya, brotha!

[RAIZEDBYWOLVEZ]

break free... its the gun oil of the gods.

[spunduckwoo1]

hey thx for the vid bro, i would have never been able to do this the right way on my own.....to bad i was using some winchester break powder blast gun cleaner to clean though cause i melted the titanium finish right off the gun : (

[okfirearms]

Glad you made it through the upgrade--way to go! You might think about refinishing your SD with some matte black Duracoat for a more durable finish. Most smiths can do it or you can give it a whirl provided you prep the surfaces well.

[blunderbuss45]

whats the best gsg 522 sd bolt kit

[SportsCarClubRacing]

I see a difference between the colors of your GSG-5 and mine. i have the same model but the frame is a bluish color in most light colors. Whats with that?!

[okfirearms]

You may have the anniversary edition SD.

[Jaredo99x]

I was in the process of upgrading my GSG-5 with this very screw set while refinishing the rifle and low and behold, the problem I was trying to prevent had already happened! The bolt jacket screws had loosened and the jacket cracked at the front... no wonder I was having so many firing/ejecting problems recently. Great vid bud, I'll shoot you some picks of the refinished product in desert digital camo.

[okfirearms]

Sounds great, can't wait to see them!!!

[mfetty77]

Where do you get the Hk take down pins? Hate the ones that come on the gun. The trigger and stock pins.

[okfirearms]

Do a Google search for "Rrages hk pushpins"

[dillion47]

I almost hate to ask! How about a video on the teardown, removel of the bolt cover. I think thats the only part that was not covered.

[okfirearms]

I didn't film that simply because my upgraded bolt jacket screws are in SO tight (torqued them down and loctited them) that I think I might never get them installed that good again. The original screws were self tapping, so the more times you take those screws out, the less tight you will be able to get them.

The procedure for removal is as follows: Remove the bolt carrier, and strip the bolt per the video. If upgrading the bolt jacket screws, take one out at a time and replace accordingly.

[dillion47]

Great Videos!

Watched all of them, Very Helpful. Do you only recommend loctite on the Bolt cover screws?

[okfirearms]

Thanks!! I think Loctite on any of the assembly screws is just insurance--use your personal judgement. Those screws are the only three that I used it on.

[gruzergrub5000]

curious as to why your audio only comes from the left speaker? i know its not my speakers lol, great vid though, keep them comin

[okfirearms]

Hmmm . . . works fine on mine--I'll check it out, though. Thanks for the kind words.

[Z0mgROFLcopterz]

[okfirearms]

Thank you! Be sure to watch all four and post any questions or comments!
