joe66 0 Posted June 8, 2012 Some mags have a 1 on the side and some have a 2. New issue maybe? Does it mean anything? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barms 98 Posted June 9, 2012 I only know this from youtube stuff.... apparently there is a Gen 1 and Gen2 version of the gun.. the Gen 1's had lots of problems with the recoil spring jamming (that was fixed by removing the "taperish" of the spring.. also the Gen 2 fixed the bushing breaking problem, the orig bushings were not steel, now they are.. the first productions of the "Gen 2" had a 2 on the slide and the magazine. I bought mine in March and saw the 1 on the magazine and specifically told the shop i want a Gen 2. while i was right there they called ATI and they were told i indeed have in my hand a Gen 2. So my magazine says "1" but my slide says a 2 and my bushing is steel. And my spring is not tapered.. so ergo..i have a Gen 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just bought a used GSG that the guy said is a few months old, want to check if it's a gen 1 or gen 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barms 98 Posted June 9, 2012 after you take the barrel out flip the slide over and look "underneath" i don't remember the exact spot but its there.. if i get a moment in the next day or two i will take mine down and tell you specifically. here is a better test though.. take off the barrel BUSHING and hold a magnet to it.. if the magnet sticks to the bushing you absolutely have a Gen2..
