Tricked out wife's GSG-5, digging foxhole out back

OK, I'm joking about the foxhole, but I thought you might enjoy a pic of my wife's GSG.

Here they are, pretty much stock. Wife's is on top, with the reflex sight.


Here's hers after some tweaks:



She's a fine shot off the bench anyway, but now with the bipod and vertical grip, I get to re-use her targets, because she just uses a little tiny bit in the middle.

That's a real MP5 butt stock and H&K take down pins. solid! The double mag holder is much cooler than I expected.

I know you always say "the brits have no guns" But.......
Those of us that have certificates to have firearms can have these with real SILENCERS!!!!! (or moderators as we like to call them)
I don't have a GSG but I do have a silenced 10/22
You might like to know the UK price is £520 ($1.53 =£1.00 so its around $800 over here)

You might find the comments interesting after the review

We can get silencers too. A company called Gemtech does an SBR/supressor conversion that's very tempting to get, but that's 2 class3 stamps. Ouch, right?
I've also heard rumor of a suppressor that is a direct swap with the tin can.

Sorry I did not make that very clear.... Its no big deal to have a silencer over here once you have a firearm certificate, you just say " I want a moderator for that weapon" (we have a "thing" called Health & Safety)
I think the shooting world in the UK used H&S regs to push thru moderator use for ANY CALIBRE!! (notice we use the word moderator and not silencer
)
Very important word moderator..... I would suggest you used that and whatever health & safety laws you have in the US to get the law changed on "moderator" use!!!
Makes a real difference to use a "moderated" weapon.... We even have moderated shotguns

Nice, I think that you have the 'home invasion' possibilities pretty well covered.

Fun. Folks if you want one of these, buy it now. They are no longer being manufactured/imported due to copyright infractions. As above, H&K's lawsuit has been settled...
