Hello, GSG 5 and GSG 522 owners! I know it's an old gun by now, but I still feel a summary of the community's findings would be helpful for sum. This is a link to a paper I have written. Please contact me with any corrections, insight, or other information to add.

Don't post your email address.

Interesting . I have done nothing to mine but shoot it a few times and stick it away.

I think those of us who started with the 522 versions (post lawsuit) tinkered a bit more with the platform to try and retrofit it back to prelawsuit looks and quality. Either way, some good posts on this group for those looking for it. Thanks OP!

My gsg5 in it's current configuration. Started life as a 16".

I need to get the barrel cut and threaded to accept the trilug adapter that looks like an mp5 barrel.

Looks great! I'm sure will look even better once you get that trilug done. I'm trying to go the lazy route and locate one of those trilug adapters that Gemtech, Promag, and SwarfWorks made for the 5p. It's like a needle in a haystack on the used market.

Yeah i have a promag one sitting in the parts bin waiting for this barrel to be chopped and threaded. If i recall it has the 1/2x28 threads at the end.

I have one that threads to the barrel itself and a different one that threads into the front sight post where the old fake suppressor did. I don't remember which is which but i remember thinking it's better to attach to the barrel directly for real suppresdor use.

It's been years. I should just send the barrel to someone to finish. Lol

lol I hear. IF you're willing to part with the one that threads into the sight post I'd gladly pay you for it! No pressure.
