Any GSG owners out there?

I'm talking about the ATI German made pistols and rifles. I believe that all shot 22LR.

    I have a GSG STG 44 fun rifle designed after the MG 44 , it works well but damn you can eat up lots of 22LR ammo playing

    Such as the Firefly?

    Fun little pistol, but finicky about ammo. Use 40gr bullets. Don't bother with the lighter 36gr hollow points, they'll jam. It come with two recoil springs, one for normal operation and one for firing suppressed. The trigger isn't especially good, and I'm not sure it could be made better through adjustment. The pistol is made mostly out of cast zinc, so there's nothing spectacular about it. At the old price of $159 they were a decent buy. At much than that, I'd say pass.

    That looks like a SIG frame/grip module copy.

    That looks like a SIG frame/grip module copy.

    It's modeled after the SIG-Sauer P226. SIG-Sauer had their own .22 copy produced by GSG which was branded as the Mosquito. There were so many functioning issues that SIG eventually dropped it at which point GSG rebranded the pistol as the Firefly. Because of the zinc construction there are a variety of color options. With the right ammo it functions well enough, but even with the special spring it never ran reliably suppressed. This is important to me, but not of concern for others.

    Would I buy the pistol again? No.

    I bought a Firefly at an auction for a good price. I've had no problems with it & it's good for the price. GSG 522 is fun also.

    I sold a crapload of GSG-5s to forum members on special auctions back when H&K sued them and they had to switch them up to the now GSG-522s. Was a fun time, think I sold about 35 of them in one night way back like 10 years ago.


    Gsg are good quality in my opinion.

    I wasn't aware of the legal problem shootadeal. I have a GSG-5 but gave Locust Fork my other two GSG's to sell last week. Do you still have a few?

    The old style GSG-5s are long gone. They made some minor changes, called them gsg-522s and are still available.

    I still got new in the box AK and the MPKSD (which I may have bought from shootuadeal) the HK suing sounds familiar. They dropped in price when I priced them to resell a few years back to off set a build cost.
