GSG-522 - American Tactical Imports

from ATI

Well, here it is. In response to the outrage caused by the discontinuation of the GSG-5 resulting from the settlement of the lawsuit between GSG/ATI & H&K, German Sport Guns and American Tactical Imports are happy to announce the new GSG522 series of .22LR firearms. Where H&K got to take their ball and go home, part of the agreement was that with a few changes to the look of the gun, GSG could continue to manufacture and ATI could continue to import a mechanically identical gun with subtle exterior changes to differentiate the gun from the original licensed MP-5 design, now to be made by Umarex. Now, the pictures:

It will be interesting to discover that the "H&K" version of the .22LR MP-5 is internally identical to the GSG-522/5.  I suspect Umarex is making both "branded" versions.  I own an Walther branded, high-end pellet rifle that was actually manufactured by Umarex and It's an impressively built piece.  I suspect the only difference between the GSG and the H&K version of the MP-5 will be those disputed exterior attributes.
