GSG-5 fever
I didn't want to like the GSG but I talked to three people at my local range that had them. Everyone of them loved the gun. Its seldom I hear so much good about something like that.
I found a local dealer than had them for $479 and made the mistake of going in to hold one......
Its a toy. Its not built like a tank. It won't last forever. It cost too much.
I bought it. I really do enjoy it. I have two 10/22's that I like but its just different. I shoot it a lot and enjoy every shot. Mine is the second model, they made some improvements, and it works like a charm. I got a slick tactical sling for it from justslings for $14 and two extra magazine. It just burns up the range. I call it my "tactical tin can" shooter. Its good at that.
There are a lot of these being imported. Hard to get right now but that will change. Parts will be around in time. They are selling a lot of these and it will be good business to have parts to sell too.
A Walthers P22 pistol, the king of toy guns, is up to nearly $400 now. For a few bucks more than that I got this slick rifle that does what it was made to do.....put smiles on our face.
Some will say its cheap, overpriced, etc, etc, and they are all correct in that statement. That being said, look at all the people who talk about how much they love it.
I looked at a .22 upper for my AR, they cost about $600..and that was just an upper! If you wanted a target barrel they went up to $700 and I saw some that were $1200..for an upper! Insane!
$479 nowdays isn't so steep.
