HK sued ATI over the mp5 clone because HK is going to make a .22 mp5 supposedly. The box said mp5 on it somewhere but my box doesn't. (maybe early production run)
"Production and importation of the original design GSG-5 ceased as of Oct, 8, 2009 with the signing of the agreement. The remaining inventory now in the USA can be sold by ATI, all distributors and dealers. ATI currently has GSG-5’s in stock. All sales of the GSG-5 by ATI must conclude by January 31, 2010. ATI will continue to service every firearm that it imports into the USA. "
This years shot show is where ATI will reveal what they have to replace it.
Now they're are two "gens" of the GSG5. You'll want the second gen. It has a better fix on the extraction plate. There are still plenty of GSG's for sale. A ton of airsoft parts fit it.
