In lieu of the lawsuit filed by HK, ATI has been banned from importing the GSG-5 and must sell their remaining inventory by Jan 31, 2010. ATI is claiming the settlement as a 'win', but at this point I don't see how. You can read about it here:

In memorium of this fine weapon, I picked up yet another; the SD version. I added the retractable stock for the CDI factor.

You're looking at around $500 for a base model.


The SD seems to be a bit more sought after and the market reflects that.

Becasue they copied another gun (H&K MP5) yet still get to keep all the profits from the sales...they just have to stop making them.


Wait until you need parts for those bad boys....oh yeah....if you think hi-cap mags were hard to find before 2004, wait until you need to buy a bolt for one of these bad boys in 2015.

Full details of the settlement have not been disclosed, but the GSG-5 is the flagship of their line. I don't see how keeping the profits from one year of production can give the company any type of financial cushion.


Lip service being what it is...ATI is of course claiming to honor warranties and have parts 'readily' available after the line is discontinued. I think both of us are smart enough to see where that is going....
