You can purchase a lightweight (plastic receiver) gsg-522 or the standard weight model. The standard model is difficult to find for less than $400. And guys... gsg-5s are no longer sold...they are gsg-522s...whether metal or plastic receiver! Brandon…the differences can be found in the receiver material construction.

I just bought my GSG-5 Carbine for $290 off of that site. I dont know why there are different prices for the same gun. I mean, the 290$ version is the same exact one as the 400$ version, it's weird. They might go through different dealers so maybe they just show the same gun from different dealers ad different prices maybe? I dunno. I bought mine off of gsg5rifle.com too! go through them, they are great!!! Dcole,

However, I don't believe there has been significant changes to the carbine. The carbine wasn't caught up in the HK suit as was the GSG-5 PK pistol. A virtual knock of the Hk MP-5. ATI was forced to discontinue sale & production of 1st generation pistol then made several interior and exterior modifications to comply with court. For more info, go to ATI guns. Dcole,

I asume this is used. I like mine a lot. The gun looks super cool It is to heavy for a hand gun And difficult to aim. Plus, you may not add a stock or a pistol fore grip w/o a Fed Stamp. AKA [ SBR conversion. ] This relegates the gun to spray & pray & cool looking. Use only the Highest ammo available. Good luck. Dcole,

First one brand new. 2nd one I stumbled on at a gun store I happened into. It was being sold as used for 350.00. But it looked new and had the box with all the gear, manual & unused bore brush. I hadn't fired my new one yet but, this one i brought right to the range. What a dream to shoot. Put 150 through it without mishap. Decided to go SBR on the used gun & keep the new gun unfired for investment. When Hk introduces It's HK MP-5 /22 for 700.00- 1000..... ? Just bought my 2nd GSG-5 Pk pistol in 3 days.

The Faux Suppressors are deemed illegal and in violation of NAF and ATI/GSG apparantly knew about them last year during manufacture and shipping. ATI/GSG have never been known for great customer service, now it appears they shipped to dealers weapons that were NEVER authorized or suspect at best.

My wife and kids love it because I dont have to lug out my assault rifles (which have far more recoil than my .22) and all the ammo. We can shoot all day and not be fatigued. Will be buying another GSG soon. Ive owned my GSG for over a year and decked it out with everything that would fit and its a great gun.

Evans Sat, 02 Jan 2010 21:29:55 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=5026#comment-22997 I have to agree that $500 is a bit much for a plinker, but consider this. I have a REAL MP5SD3, and there is NO WAY that I would be able to afford the 9mm ammo to keep the thing fed if I practiced continually. Particularly since I shoot H&K nickel steel cased loads designed for the thing that come in fast load bricks of 30 at 1200 rounds per steel can. Fortunately I bought 3 cans worth when I got the MP5SD, so I won't run out quickly, but the cost of an HK .22LR conversion kit can run $1500, so $500 for a .22 lugalike that i can practice room entries with, etc, with lower power .22 rounds, well . . . aside from the utter lack of full automatic fire, it works.
