sheriffbrown Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Well, not only am I having to get rid of my Shotgun, but my rifle too! I'm off to New Zealand in a couple of months, and I'm selling my guns - a mossberg 590 pump action shotgun on FAC and also now my favorite rifle - a GSG 5SD semi auto in .22lr. For use in New Zealand I would need to a specialised licence that cost a lot of money, so unfortunately I have to sell it Anyway, enough of my moaning. The rifle is 9 months old, comes with 4 magazines (3 x22 rounds, 1 x 10 rounds), high and low tactical mounts, a working sound moderator. It also comes with a 4 x 32 illuminated mil dot scope and i'll chuck a gun bag in for it too. It you want any more parts for it there are bags of sites online offering magazines, collapsable stocks and other assorted goodies This rifle really is the bee's knees at the range and is pretty damn accurate to boot. It's also great for rabbiting but be aware it is the spitting image of an MP5 submachine gun so be sensible about where you take it. In total the full package would cost over £900, however as I need a quick sale I'm offering it up for £650. P.S For those of you who are in the know about these guns, it is actually the old style gun - ie the ones before the comapny was sued by H&K. You can't buy this type new anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mikky, I use a hoppes boresnake on it, and a small wire brush for the chamber. I'll chuck them in too. With the scope mine will quite happily take bunnies to about 60 yrds. As for the jamming, if you hold it by the magazine it won't feed properly, but other than that it functions flawlessly. The problem with H&K? Trademark infringement. Because it was the spitting image of the MP5, H&K got a bit hot under the collar about it. Co-incidentally they released a .22lr MP5 shortly after...

You can't buy this type new anymore Can we have a breakdown of what it cost because I'm sure these are only £500 new. I was looking ages ago for one and I know they do have jamming problems as a mate at my club had mega problems with his. He had to get a kit from germany from gsg and it didnt fix the problem.

sheriffbrown Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 A price breakdown - no probs. Working moderator - £90 3 x 22rd magazines - £60 1 x 10rd magazine - £15 High/low tac mounts -£50 scope - £50 gun - £550 or £475 as our good friend found one for gun bag - £20 Now my calculator was slightly off first time so I make it worth around £850. Still for what i'm asking you'll never need to buy owt else with it. As for the jamming issue. I've heard stories about GSG5's jamming, but mine never has. I've also heard horror stories about ruger 10/22's, Walther G22's and pretty much any other .22 semi you can name. I personally dislike winchester o/u shotguns as everyone I have used has fired both barrels simultaneously, yet other folk rave about them. I appreciate your mate may have had to send his back to germany, but maybe his was a one off. The GSG will only fail to feed if you hold it by the magazine, but even the instruction manual tells you not to do that. You wouldn't drive a car with the hand brake on would you?!? Tell you what chaps and chapesses, I'll knock the price down to £600. Can't say fairer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 They mustve given you a 'deal' on them when you bought the rifle as I asked york guns about 5 months ago and they wanted £34.50 each and that was without p&p!
