Re: gsg 5 sight question
The GSG-5 is being replaced by the GSG-522 in order to comply with the lawsuit from H&K. http://www.gsg-waffen.de/site/index.php?...=79&lang=en I recently purchased one of the last GSG-5's that my dealer had. The front sight post is removable, and my carbine came with four additional posts of varying heights. The installed post was fine for 25 to 50 yard plinking. The new 522 model appears to have replacable front sights as well.

Re: gsg 5 sight question
My GSG-5 had no elevation adjustment on the rear sight and a fixed front sight. I ended up buying an aftermarket rear iron sight with elevation adjustment (I think it was actually intended for an airsoft version), and it worked fine on my GSG-5 and I was able to sight it in correctly.

Re: gsg 5 sight question
A bunch of cosmetic differences so that it doesn't look exactly like an H&K MP5.

Re: gsg 5 sight question
BigBoss, are you aware of the ATF regulation of the SD model shroud? http://www.americantactical.us/ I assume you are if you're over on arfcom. A good many people that have bought these SD models probably are not.

Re: gsg 5 sight question
ATF changed their ruling, so now it is considered a suppressor even though it does absolutely nothing to suppress the muzzle blast. Someone was probably caught drilling a bunch of holes in the barrel where the shroud/fake suppressor covered it, causing the hollow shroud to then be used as an expansion chamber. The new, approved replacement shroud/fake suppressor, has an inner sleeve that just barely fits over the outside diameter of the barrel preventing the venting of any gas into the chamber. Towards the bottom of the page http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=41&t=305635&page=4 is a drawing of the old and the new shroud design.

Re: gsg 5 sight question
well I bit the bullett and ordered one. When It gets here I will have to make sure it has the legal dummy cam on it. I shot real ones in the Navy and I have always had a love affair with them. This is the closest I figure I will ever own
PS has anyone tried the pro mag gsg mags yet?
