GSG-5 SBR

[Scutter01]

Ok, I'm looking for some opinions here. I have a GSG-5 (the titanium-colored 1st Anniversary model, and the last revision prior to the lawsuit). I want to SBR it later this year so that I can use my suppressor on it without it looking ridiculous. I also have a collapsible stock. I basically have two options:

A) Cut the existing barrel down as far as possible and then thread it

B) Dump my current GSG and buy a GSG-5P (the pistol version) and get that threaded and move my collapsible stock to it.

I really like the titanium finish on my current, so I'm not really wanting to get rid of it, but I'm not sure if SBR'ing it would be a pain. The two models have slightly different front post designs, so I'm not even sure if the 5P can even be threaded. Thoughts?

A) Cut the existing barrel down as far as possible and then thread it

The GSG-5 barrel is to small to thread 1/2x28 without threading it a small thread pitch and then using an adapter to "step it up" to 1/2x28.

You should buy a GSG5Pk and then use a handy dandy adapter for it purchased some place like say..... www.nfashirts.com

I know it has been discussed here before and its been done multiple times, but did anyone ever figure out if there was a 922r compliance issue with SBRing one of these?

Because I really want to SBR a PK.

I wouldn't mind using a step-up adapter, although I will admit that it's not an ideal solution. I already use a thread adapter on my P22 and it's not a big deal. That was my question, though. If the 5Pk makes for a cleaner SBR path then that may be what I need to do.

That's what you loose, the "clean" appearance. With the GSG-5 there is no where to tuck the adapter up in to hide it like with the pistol.

The 5Pk has the rail slots for the collapsible stock, doesn't it? I'm pretty sure it does, but not positive.

Yes, a rifle collapsible stock works great on the pk.

Here is the link from another thread where the 922r compliance was discussed with these and it seems like its hard to decipher whether or not its actually compliant with 922r.

Like I said, I know alot of people have SBR'd these, Im just curious to know if what the actual law is (if there is one)

I won't rehash it again. But all I will say is that no one has yet pointed to a statutory exemption for .22's.

I looked at the post-lawsuit GSG-5Pk at Bradis over the weekend. I think I'll stick with my pre-lawsuit. The posts look like doo-doo.

Scutter, CDNN sells a kit to convert the post to pre lawsuit form.
