I have been often asked about my GsG, and as always I go into a rant about this and that, and trying to explain to someone what all I did was getting a little old so here is the story of My GsG, (sorry, it is a little pic heavy) and all of the modifications I did. Some were absolutely necessary, some not so much. If you decide to do any of the modifications I did do so with EXTREME caution and AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Now on to the good stuff:
A wedding present from my wife, me GSG started life as a GSG-522 post-law suit. For those of you that don’t know, German Sport Guns and American Tactical Imports were sued for copy write infringement by Heckler and Koch, so German Sport Guns tried to change the look of the GsG 5 to appease the courts, making changes that made it look more and more like a toy. The changes didn’t fly in court, and the end result was these guns are no longer in production.
So the First thing I did was Purchase a conversion kit to return my GSG to the Pre-Law Suit version or the GSG 5
The left one came on my GSG, the right one came in the kit along with the priginal Cocking Tube and various parts to complete the original look
Next came the buffer, which this weapon does not come with one, and without it your cocking tube will slam against the face and break
After that, I did the screw replacement. This was done because the screws would back out on thier own, and looked like they were dry wall screws, with no locking nuts.
These also had to be removed with the GSG tool they sent you, a standard Philips head would strip them out FAST
The screw replacement set I got from RRAGES.com came with the correct alan head screws and nuts to make a tight fit without fear of them backing out at all
