I wish that was the case. ATI announced today that they signed a settlement with H&K that ends the imports of the GSG-5 forever. This unfortunately is the final outcome.

Attorneys for H&K will be issuing a statement. The attorneys for ATI have already issued a statement announcing the settlement.
Production and importation of the original design GSG-5 ceased as of Oct, 8, 2009 with the signing of the agreement. The remaining inventory now in the USA can be sold by ATI, all distributors and dealers. ATI currently has GSG-5’s in stock.
All sales of the GSG-5 by ATI must conclude by January 31, 2010. ATI will continue to service every firearm that it imports into the USA.
