My new .22

[WellHungSmurf]

First let me say I'll be hitting the range first thing Saturday morning. I'll let anyone interested if it had any FTF or FTE's. Man i love this thing. First impression is how heavy it is. Feels real solid in my hands, also the stock once pulled out feels solid and made with real quality. This next to a GSG-5 (even though I don't own one) this feels more sturdy and like it was made alot better..

Nice. Have you had a chance to take it apart yet? If so, what do you think of the internal build quality? First positive I see is it looks like it has real push pins.

Have yet to take her down, but yes a huge positive that this has over the GSG-5 is it comes with the real HK push pins. I think it has a few other real HK parts as well. I'll field strip and clean tomorrow before Sat

Let us know. I had the GSG, but after a couple cleanings, it just seemed really cheaply made. Sold it. Bought the ruger SR22, much better build.

Ok - field stipped it, I did it at my buddies house who in fact has a gsg-5. We were both pretty suprised, the interals of mine look much more uhh "firearm" looking I guess would be the word. If you want a mp5 clone, imho this blows the gsg away. But - tomorrow I hit the range so my opinion may change..

I wish they could make the mag stagger fed like on a AR mag, could you imagin how much .22 that would be

Range Report:

Got to the range, wasted no time, the mags are typical .22 mags very easy to load and takes 30 seconds to load all 25. Started the day with a cheap brick of Blazer 1250 FPS to see if she would eat it. First mag no FTF's or FTE's. Then my second mag switched to Aguila SuperExtra 1200 FPS ammo. Not one problem did great! Third mag did every other .22 a diff brand tried to see if she would have any issue's and didn't have a single issue.

Accuracy:
After 5-10 shots dialed in the HK iron sights, and was hitting a cheapo Winchester spinner target at 20 yards. The spinner target is 3-4 inches. Also hit some 2 liter's at 30-35 yards without any problem. Didn't really set up any hard shots was switching between my other firarms..

All in all, around 200 rounds of perfect pleasure! It seems Umarex HK did their homework and I'm very happy with it.

A side note to GSG owners or previous GSG owners. This MP5 replica breaks down with 2 real HK push pins and is SIMPLE to field strip. Internals don't look cheap, and i'll post more once I hit 1,000 - 5,000 rounds with her
