Call ATI, they sell one. It's probably not available on their website but if you call them they should be able to sell you one.
It's not as pretty as a 3 lug, but it gets the job done. And it's affordable. |

We've been out the thread adapters that thread into the cocking tube housing of the regular 522 and the 522P for a while, but I did put more on order with GSG. I expect them hopfully around May/June.

Gemtech used to make them. Might try contacting them. At the very least it gives you another avenue finding one online.

I have a fresh SBR with new P barrel and can't find anything to put a can on this. As an aside, what OAL did you file on your Form 1? I assume you used 9" for the barrel? |

You can use the ProMag adapter - its got 16X1 metric threads - The GSG has a proprietery thred pitch for its sight housing - you can chase the threads with a 16x1m tap and the ProMag adapter will seat perfect. Seen it done.

Any word on where those adapters are? I just recently SBR'd a rifle, and the 5P barrels and adapters are unobtainium right now.

I'll give them a call and see what they've got. Though....the barrel would be nice, but it's useless without the adapter. |

If you follow the thread link above, I was also able to get the ProMag adapter direct from them.... |

So, we finally got more from GSG and unfortunately the threads on them are messed up and basically unusable....we're working on it with them now but I'll have to import a whole new batch.

Sad news.
I followed up with GSG on the adapters they sent us with bad threading and they let us know that going forward the thread adapter for the 522 is discontinued from them, so we will no longer be able to import them. The 1911 adapter which works on the GSG 1911, GSG-922, GSG FireFly & GSG-522-PK will still be available. |

Okay...soooo...we're just SOL? What brought that business decision on?
As far as I can tell there are no aftermarket adapters available, by anyone else. True statement? |

Wow, that really sucks - can you post the thread specs so we could get our own machined? |

How bad are the adapters you have. Is it possible to buy them as junk and then chase the threads or something?
Eta, promag, swarfworks, and gemtech no longer make them and have no back stock. Nothing is avilable. Aftermarket. |

Per my conversation with the sales rep, it is not "discontinued" but they have no plans for their manufacturer to make more. |

It took me two ProMags to get a decent one, and they have the 3-lug adapter part also (complicating machining) - might be best to start fresh vs possibly measuring something that's barely in-spec.... Just my $0.02. |

I was lucky years ago that i bought the 3 lug adapter off a guy on here. It was by chance to! I was asking him about how he turned his GSG 522 into a G3. It is some no name thing that smells like pee no mater how much you wash it. I wish i picked up a swarfworks version when i had a chance.
But i didnt come here to talk about a thread adapter that smells like pee, i had an idea. CW accessories makes accessories for the GSG 1911 already. How about everyone that needs a thread adapter email CW accessories to see if he will make one. |
