I had to wait till after all of the Hurricane bills were settled before I could bring home my GSG-5. At least I won't have to spend a fortune on ammo with this baby.

nice!!!

 

[1redgmc]

I gotta get me one and SBR that thing... ;D

 

[aziator]

I cant decide if I want one of these or a Spikes .22 upper

 

[cleric-dragoon]

very nice chem!!!

 

[MrChem]

I had it on layaway since July. I was paying a little every month but then Ike hit and I had other priorities. Anyway, I am going to the range this week and I will let you know how she shoots.

 

[cleric-dragoon]

it will be fun im sure. it will kick about the same as 223 right?

 

[thadbme]

No this one will be much much less. Even though the .223 doesn't have much punch.... a .22 is negligable. You can fire off 30 rounds in a row with pretty much no muzzle rize. The good thing is you can get a 550 round box for around $10 most places.

that sounds fun!!!

Its always nice to have a .22 around to shoot. Its cheap, pretty fun just to go through the rounds! Its a great caliber to train some new shooters and such on as well. You can always squirrel or varmit hunt with it too.

Nice, I'm jealous. I ordered one from an online dealer when they first hit the U.S., then the dealer said they wouldn't be gettin them after months of waiting.
Still want one, they look cool

 

[SuperRage]

Atlantic Firearms' site shows that they have them available.

 

[1redgmc]

PLENTY available on GunBroker too...

Waiting for the range report..... 8) : ;D

One of our local shops has these and I've been sorely tempted.

But then, there's always these.....

 

[roughneck2zero]

What is that? An AR lower with one of those .22 uppers? I saw something similar at the recent Silencer Shoot here in GA.

From Spike's Tactical;

"A3 flat top with 6" 1x16 twist barrel, ST-15 mil spec lower, YHM mini rail free float handguard, Spike's fake SD can, Spike's .22lr bolt, 6 position M4 stock with mil spec tube and Black Dog full size mag. Shown with the optional side folding stock upgrade for another $180! (optic not included) We help walk you through the Class III process. Please call before ordering."

About $1,030, plus the $400 for the tag. So yeah, it's cool, but....

Mr Chem's GSG-5 is much more affordable (still, it ain't cheap for a .22). And they make a pistol version, tool. Just wish you could get a shoulder stock for the pistol version without all the SBR hoopla.

Seems to me that Heller puts the whole SBR classification into jeopardy. Somebody should sue...

Although I like that Spike's setup - I think the Gemtech T2 (if they ever actually release them) is hot stuff.

Add your JAC bolt, and you have the best two out of three (the third being full auto).

Thanks, I emailed Atlantic Firearms. If they have some in, i'll buy one. I haven't ever used GunBroker. Are they good?
