GSG-522 vs GSG-5 magazines?

[SCORPiON5150]

I just purchased a new GSG-522 SD a couple days ago. Just waiting on the ridiculous 10 day background check to pick it up. Been shopping around for some extras and mods for it while I wait and for whatever reasons I cannot find any mags listed as being for the 522, just the old GSG-5. Are they the same mags? Also if anyone has a good source with a decent price I'd love to get a link. I live in the gun-Nazi state of California so I need the not-as-much-fun 10 rounders for it. Thanks guys!

Yelp imao I like NMs 2 minute wait while they call it in  :grin: I wish there was something we could do for our friends in California, but can come up with nothing legal.

I read through all the posts in this section and didn't see anything in relation to the mags... And yeah, CA is garbage when it comes to guns and freedoms. There really is NO reason you should have to wait 10 days! They can get a clearance on you instantly, just like any other state. Soon I will not be able to buy bricks. Imagine this.... Our Governator (Arnold) signed a bill to restrict purchases of hand gun ammunition to 50 rounds/month and require fingerprints, ID, and super tight regulations on the seller. And, they are considering .22LR HAND GUN ammuinition!!!! I have about 7k rounds of .22LR and 2k of 9MM and .357MAG stocked up to prepare for their BS. I'll probably be labeled a terrorist or enemy of the state if I get caught with it!

Here in OK they use the Instant Check System and any gun you want leaves with you in 15 minutes or less.

Sorry I strayed, but I sure someone posted that the mags from GSG-5 are suppose to fit.
