SBR thoughts > GSG-5

Posted: 6/5/2008 7:53:59 AM EDT

I am picking my gsg up next week. I am less concerned about the price to chop it or the tax stamp but am more concerned about registering a specific gsg and having it break and need to be replaced. They would have to fix any problem with the registered gun and not just send me a new one. Before I add another SBR to the collection, anyone have any thoughts? Reliability seems to be good enough I shouldn't worry too much.....

Don't even think of hesitating. Your SBR'd GSG5 will bring you much more down the road and you are not going to miss the 8.0" you wack. Now you will have to put a nice can on that rascal

+1 Handle an SBR'ed GSG and you will never look back.

I was surprised at how much better it made the gun (looks, handling, etc)

I'm curious, can the screws be replaced/converted to push pins? I thought someone made mention of this a while ago.

Prib

I'd like to SBR one of these too.

Yes.

Theres a bunch of discussion about the legality of doing this, but if you are going SBR its a moot point.

Guys let's face it if your looking to SBR your GSG5 then your NFA Habit will grow that is a given and what better way to get your feet wet. After you go through the NFA Process you'll have a great idea of the Wait Times *Which Thankfully Have Been Shortened by Months Upon Months Since The NFA Office Moved To Martinsburg, WV. Making your next NFA Purchase a much easier process.

Again one has to look at the minimal time invested and the gain if you decide to sell that particular NFA Item. A Win, Win Situation All Around

And Again Never Hesitate Or Look Back. As you just put "Money In The Bank"

Its true, this will be my 5th SBR. Picked mine up Friday afternoon, just ran 400 rounds through it and am more than satisfied :) Form 1s gong out Monday.

My Form 1 has been sent over a month ago. Check was cashed 35 days ago. Should be on it's way back to my hand anytime now. I already have the adapter from GemTech waiting and my Tac65 supressor as pictured below (the one pictured on top). My barrel will be chopped off as soon as I receive my approved Form 1. Anytime now......

It's just a wrap around grip that I picked up for a Glock, according to the package. I just trimmed the bottom part and cut the excess rubber to make it flushed. Rubber wrap around grip really help.

Great idea man!

I'm thinking of going the SBR route too. I've owned a Class 3 MP40 so i've gone thru the old 6 month waiting period a few years back. One question though, on the Form 1, Block 4 "Reason to make firearm" or something to that effect. What do you put in there?

Tell me about this $30,000 Machine gun you had. Got some pics? I've always wanted one.

It was a tube gun. I got it got $6500 and used it in WWII reenactments. It shot live ammo very nicely. Very controllable.
