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.
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.
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.

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
"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...
I've conducted quite a few transactions on GunBroker - all 100% successful. I've also dealt with (FFL) dealers only and can't speak to the reliability of the average joe that posts items for sale.
BATF transfers are $200 apiece. And yeah, I think you're right that they would hit you up for 2. 1 for the "silenced upper" and 1 for the registered lower as an SBR (plus you'd have to get your lower receiver engraved).
MrChem: where did you get the retractable stock? That's the only way to go...Looks great!
Believe it or not, I got it at Cobra airsoft. You can also get them on gunbroker and ebay but for a little more. Fits perfectly and is rock solid. My only complaint is that when it is extended, it feels a little short for my taste but it is still well within my comfort zone. The buttstock that came with it is fine but it seems a little light and make the gun slightly nose-heavy. The collapsible stock has a little more weight to it and balances it nicely. I am taking her to the range on Friday and will shoot with both stocks and let you know how they effect accuracy.
I look forward to the range report, I have been looking at getting one of these for a while now
