Impresssssssive!

Thanks for the replies and offers all. There is loctite not just on the set screws, but all under the base of the rear sight itself, in the dovetail channel. I followed this yahoo's instructions when mounting it: XAahHP7z7so Poor judgement on my part.

DJ, I'm in Morris County, near Morristown. Heat gun loan would be appreciated, but I'm going to contact the XS sight people first to see if they have any suggestions or if heat will damage the tritium in the rear sight.

...besides an acytelene torch? I put a set of XS dot sights on my glock a few months ago. Only shot it twice since then, once was at the first IDPA match I went to, then I went to the range on Friday for some more slow paced practice/technique shooting. It's looking like I didn't get the rear sight centered on the slide. It's just a *smidge* left of center, but it's enough that if I line up the front sight with the rear line exactly, I shoot left of center on my target . I am quite annoyed with myself.... :evil: So, any options for removing red loctite that will preserve the rear tritum sight without burning it up and the finish on my slide? I used a lot of it underneath the rear sight and in the small allen keys on the top.

Matt, resistance is futile.... Edited top post to include OKfirearms's youtube channel. Check it out, lots of coherent and well produced "how-to" videos for the GSG-5.

Here we go again... Pumps - anything goes Semi - no pistol grip, no capacity > 6 shots, no folding stock

Exactly. I want to hit the ground running as soon as it comes through the door.

So I've never had any formal instruction or classroom training for firearms. Mostly self taught/read with some spurts of informal instruction from friends. I've had a 9mm handgun and shotgun for a year, recently added a 9mm carbine to the mix as well. I'm comfortable with operating all of them in a range/static target environment, and comfortable servicing them including full detail strips and cleaning. I'm not as accurate with the handgun as I would like. I'd like to be better at drawing and getting on target fast with it and being confident that I can stay on target for fast fire through a whole mag without any fliers. Likewise with the shotty and carbine, I'd like to get comfortable using them while moving, handling reloads and malfunctions with them on the fly and getting on target faster with them. Any recommendations for training/instruction I should be considering?

Roger that, haven't seen one of the titaniums up close prior to your pic Got a box from rrages full of goodies sitting here myself, now I just need the actual GSG-5!

Thanks unloco. From what I'm reading it seems there's been two "versions" of the promags and the later ones are better than the earlier ones. Where did you get the foregrip for yours?

If the NJSP was trying to remove the guideline that the firearm and ammunition have to be in separate containers, they weren't very thorough: http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/faq.html#firearms As of 18:20 on 7/14 (emphasis added):

Oops, thanks for the forum move. Tom, can you be a bit more specific about the issues you had with the Pro mags? I've got 2 on order and if they blow then I'll wait for factory mags.

So I've got a GSG-5 on order, wanted to brainstorm with some other GSG-5 owners on place to get accessories and tips for running the gun. Here's a big ARFCOM thread on the GSG-5: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=41&t=244309 And the whole AFRCOM GSG-5 section: http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=6&f=41 Here's what I've found so far for accessories: http://rrages.com/ - Customized foregrips, stocks, optics mounts and they have 15 round magazines in stock. They also have upgraded fastener and pin kits. Just placed an order with them today, will update with how it goes. http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=15 - Factory H&K parts, some of which will work with the GSG combat optical link click me. http://www.gsg5accessories.com/ Edit - One More: http://www.mygsg5.com/ Reviews: http://demigodllc.com/articles/gsg-5-mp5-in-22-lr/ http://www.gsg5rifle.com/item/77083_GSG-5_Rifle.aspx Youtube user OKfirearms has a great channel with many GSG-5 upgrade/service videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/okfirearms His GSG-5 Complete teardown, screw upgrade and re-assembly video: Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 -

Was the shotgun a pump or semi-auto? If it's a pump, then a pistol grip is legal NJ. If it's a semi-auto, then no pistol grip allowed.

Yes, the bird shot doesn't penetrate multiple walls like the 00 Buck does. What they don't show you, or compare, is the penetration of the bird shot vs. the 00 buck IN THE BAD GUY. You want to give the bad guy a flesh wound? Shoot him with bird shot. You want to get lead inside/through the bad guy's torso where they'll likely do enough damage to drop him? Use 00 or larger buck.

Thanks for that, used it to get another pair of duty pants.

3 buckets full!? I'll take em. Hell, I'd go buy a $100 ratty pump gun just to shoot them with.

Also, no idea on reloading. Try asking at shotgunworld, lots of experienced shotgunners there.
