Will these fit the GSG 5? Seems that since all three screws and sleeves are identical all 3 pins should be as well. Opinions?

Lol, why bother with those overpriced Airsoft "replica" pins when you can order new HK pins for $2 each + about $4 shipping:
HK retainer pins You need 3 small ones. |
| I found the small HK pin was too short if you're using it on the GSG Buttstock. It did work on my CA sliding stock that I had on for a while. When I switched back to a POF buttstock I had to use the large HK pin (which was longer) or use the original screw/ sleeve setup. If you use the large HK pin, you'll need to drill out the pin hole on the GSG a bit. No big deal, the large pin works great. I bought all my stuff through RTG. |

I applied mine to a CA slider too and had to enlarge the opening on the rear of the GSG itself to allow the SMALL pin to go through, I didn't try it on the original stock. It was the hole on the right side of my rifle that was a fraction smaller than the left side. It was literally 1/10th of a mm that needed to be drilled out...nothing major at all. I could have probably pushed it through with enough force. |

I guess we realized there was a little more to the answer, as it depends on the stock being used. Just to clarify the correct size pins needed:
A) if your GSG-5 is original configuration with full stock, then you will need 2 SMALL pins(forearm, lower rec.), and 1 LARGE pin for the buttstock(and the hole bored out slightly on both sides of GSG). B) if you have a Classic Army slider stock(not sure about other brands, sorry) then you will need a total of 3 SMALL pins(minor boring on right side of GSG hole) So, just add 1 large pin to your order(3 small, 1 large), and you'll have all you need for both configurations. It's only another $2.25 |

ok 2 dumb questions, but i want to confirm my assumptions. 1st the push pins are for take down purposes like the 2 on an ar-15, right? 2nd Does this allow you to take off the stock without having to use the screw driver? 1) not exactly. they hold the stock and handguard in place, and the lower receiver to the upper clamshell like an HK. But unlike the HK it only removes the stock, no entry inside the receiver, no access to bolt etc. 2) yes, and the handguard Don't forget to order the correct sizes depending on whether you are using the original butt or a collapsible stock. My emails usually take a day or two to be responded to also, so I simply ask for a shipping quote in addition to availability so it's done in one email. I bet he's been busy packing hundreds of those damn pins in the last few weeks

so if i wanted to replace the screws for a collapsible stock and hand guard that is 3 small pins and 1 large pin? the collapsible stock is from ATI Quoted:
B) if you have a Classic Army slider stock(not sure about other brands, sorry) then you will need a total of 3 SMALL pins(minor boring on right side of GSG hole) My suggestion of getting 3 small, 1 large is so you can have the pin for the original stock if you swap back and forth. You only use 3 pins total whether it's full or collapsible stock used. |
