They're in just about every gun shop I've been in in the last several months. Some of them even have all 3 variants. The rifle version is going for around 5-525
A good deal of the membership here own them. Depending on what shop you goto it may be considered as regulated because msp has been telling ffl's its a copy of the hk93/hk94 (can't remember which one) and thusly regualted (which is ******** because parts don't swap)

yea.. those GSG5's are pretty cool... i've seen them locally selling for $600+... i assume since their selling like hotcakes, they increased the price on them... from what i understand, alot of the airsoft products can be fitted for the GSG5 (rails, mounts etc...). as for quality of those products, i wouldn't know...
nice tacticool plinker though... what is downright stupid to me though is the fact they market it with a 22rd magazine, so they won't sell it with that magazine... instead they give you a 10rd magazine... why not just do a 20rd mag so that us MD'ers wouldn't need to buy a $40 paperclip modified 22rd magazine blocked to hold 15rds??? just to have us take apart the mag to remove the freakin paperclip so that it can hold 22rds?!?..
anyway... nice rifle.. end of my rant

The GSG5PK has a threaded barrel, right? Has anyone here affixed a suppressor to it, yet?
Same goes for the GSG-5P

Heres mine. I love this gun. Its my tactical squirrel/ groundhog deanimater. Its very accurate and alot of fun to shoot. Mine will only eat cci mini-mags reliably. Since taking this pic i have added the GSG 3 point sling and i really like it. Holds the gun at a nice low ready position.

that is a really nice gun you got there. i like the black gun look. its a little to pricey for me.

Actually, it's not a paper clip that blocks the mag, it's a piece of plastic and taking the plastic out makes the mag totally unreliable, I have been told.

well, the factory mag that is sold with it is like that... and from what hear, your correct, you remove the plastic that prevents you from sliding the the feeder down and it will be unreliable...
but, i've seen a hi-cap mag that basically had a paperclip inserted in it to prevent the feeder from sliding all the way down... just remove that paperclip and you have a 22rd mag... and believe me, it was a paperclip...

I bought one before they MSP told people they were regulated. Couldn't be happier with it. And can't complain on the price ammo for it. Especially when you can buy 500 rounds for $20

I could have possibly picked up my 24 rnd. mags from a PA gunshow.
But that aside, My brother and i both have legal MD mags that we pulled the blocking plate out of. They glue the base of the plug in so that when it is removed it leaves a bit of glue residue behind which inhibits the follower. I had to file that glue off and stretch the factory spring a bit. They also have two plugs in the bottom. I took both out and found the mag to be unreliable on the last few rounds because the springs are different between the hi-cap mag and the 10 rounders. So i reinserted one plug only. That gives the spring just enough compression to feed reliably. It holds 17 rounds now. Also, keep a small amount of moly grease on the follower guides on the sides of the mag. They come like that from the factory for a reason.

What these folks are forgetting to mention is that they went across the state line to PA, WV, VA or DE THEN disassembled and modified their magazines, reassembled them and came back into Maryland.
Yep. Kids, manufacturing high-cap magazines is illegal in MD. Don't do it.

The barrel is not threaded on the P, but the flash hider actually screws into the front part that supports and surrounds the barrel.
Here is my SBR'ed P (it is worth the wait):

GSG 5PK
Julio at www.mygsg5.com is a good source. Got the adapter from him but haven't coughed up the $200 for the suppressor stamp yet tho.
www.shootersjax.com was selling the PK for $409 +$25 ship a couple of weeks ago - if they have any left.
I also got the HK pin upgrade and the GSG 5 screw upgrade from www.rrages.com - $10 IIRC.

We have a suppressor specifically for the GSG5-PK's that is externally threaded to screw on just like the flash hider. No adapters needed, much cleaner look too.
