Anyone else love GSG-5s?
Anyone else shoot these?
These GSG-5 22lr MP-5 Clones are just so much much fun! You just can't stop the fun when you get rolling
We got our 2nd one this weekend (The Carbine). Too bad H&K won the lawsuit and they will now be imported under the H&K name (raising the price by a few hundred). Found the carbine at a local gun show Saturday for a steal ($400).

No they won't be sold under the H&K name. Though would not be surprised if H&K suddenly came out with a MP-5 .22 version of their own for like $1000.
No German Sport Guns can still produce the GSG-5 but it now is called the GSG-522. Physical changes have been made to the firearm so it does not look like an MP-5 but still retains the basic shape. The bump cocking handle is gone as well as the circular front sghts for example. Price is still about $550 for a new one. American Tactical Imports is the website if you want to see what other variations they carry.
Sweet little gun that shoots cheap ammo. Already gone through 1000 rounds with it. You will need a screw and nut kit for it as well as some loctite as after 1000 rounds the machine screws will start backing out.
Not a robust tactical firearm. More like a toy. Think of an airsoft mp-5 that shoots .22 bullets.

I'm being a nice guy and not busting balls....
To all retail customers:
On January 2010 American Tactical Imports Inc received official notification from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and explosives that the original barrel shroud (aka: fake suppressor) supplied with your GSG 5 SD model must be replaced. It has been determined that this shroud is regulated under the National Firearms Act. American Tactical will provide a replacement shroud at no charge for each GSG 5 SD model sold or currently in inventory.
Consumers in possession of a GSG 5 SD model with the original shroud in place on the firearm are now in violation of the NFA. To avoid continued violation of the NFA, ATI asks that all persons in possession obtain a replacement shroud as soon as possible. We anticipate arrival of the new shrouds to begin by the middle of February 2010.
IMPORTANT: THE ORIGINAL SD MODEL SHROUD MUST BE RETURNED ACOMPANIED BY THE FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER BEFORE A REPLACEMENT SHROUD IS ISSUED. THE DIAMETER OF THE SD SHROUD IS 1-9/16”. DO NOT RETURN THE SMALLER CARBINE SHROUD.
WHAT TO DO:
If possible return your old shroud to the dealer where purchased and show him this notice. The shroud will be returned to ATI along with a list of serial numbers from the guns that the shrouds were removed. ATI will send replacements to the dealer for pick up at your convenience; ATI will be sending replacements as fast as logistics allow. If your dealer is out of business or difficult to reach, or you purchased your gun used, from a consumer, return the shroud directly by US mail or UPS to American Tactical Imports Inc. 100 ******* Drive Rochester, NY 14624.
PLEASE TRY NOT TO CALL US. We will provide comprehensive information on our web site www.americantactical.us , and www.ar15.com or by e-mail to atiexchange@americantactical.us
REMEMBER, INCLUDE THE FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER WITH EACH SHROUD OR A REPLACEMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED.
This action IS NOT being instituted through any fault and is strictly due to NFA compliance. American Tactical will assume the responsibility to satisfy the requirements in an effort to minimize the impact on our customers and protect your investment.
We at American Tactical Imports Inc. sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this unfortunate situation.
Sincerely,
Anthony DiChario
