.22 MP5! No not rhineland.

^IIRC the long barrel version of the GSG meets OAL with a collapsible stock but it already has one of those dildos on it. Not exactly the same but a fake suppressor none the less.

It's a .22, not a battle implement. Get over it.

try hitting a 25 yard paper target with a stock that wiggles. There is no joy in a gun that is not accurate. nothing to do with battle implement or milspec it has to do with enjoying a well made firearm versus fighting a bad design.

 

[Zak Smith]

The stock on the demo unit I had did not wiggle. YMMV.

 

[can14]

already for sale in the usa.

 

[TheGamerXxX]

Yes the stocks dont wiggle at first but after some use they tend to from what little I know about the MP5s collapsable stock...

Once again time will tell

They are only shipping with the fixed stock. The collapsible one may be an option in the future.

 

[Max Owner]

I would think that with a bunch of Nutz at the SHOT show, there will be a more hands on impression and more info.

 

[handgunner]

Well.

One problem down. PRICE.

One more to go. RCMP classification.

 

[KDX]

There are guys getting them for $475.00 with a scope mount.

 

[Max Owner]

[KDX]

From a post on Rimfire Central.

This isn't directed at any of the people posting here, but I've seen enough pics and vids of the GSG-5. Hopefully somebody will eventually get around to posting how accurate it is, what the balance and ergonomics are like, or even their opinion on how easy the rifle is to maintain. The damn thing might as well be an airsoft toy if all anybody cares about it looking at the silly thing.

CanFire....Check out Zak Smith's review a few posts up.

i spoke with the blueline guys. the RCMP have had a sample for a month now. just waiting for the reclassification. when all is a go, the are plenty of units in europe ready to be shipped. no prices.

Thanks KDX - somehow I missed seeing that link.

Hopefully the "long term" review will include an accuracy update using optics. I wouldn't want to run optics on the GSG-5, but if the rifle is capable of performing, perhaps the chunky factory iron sights will someday be upgradable to precision iron sights.

FINALLY, SOME NEWS. Awesome... now let's just hope it doesn't take 11ty billion months for them to re-classify if that's their intention.

I have been following this for awhile now from One to Ten scale are we ever going to be able to buy these pricks ?

 

[KDX]

I guess that will depend on the price and if you can afford it. They should be priced similar to the ones that are selling in the States and I would give it a 5 out of 10 that the RCMP will do the right thing and give them a non restricted classification. It really should be a no brainer.

And what's the price going to be here if it's $499 in the US? The Canadian dollar was above parity last week - which should mean we get a fairly favorable break on the price.
