Thought I'd post some pics of my GSG-5, since installing the Classic Army A173M collapsible stock. I can't wait to go shoot this thing! It'll be nice to go to the range and blow through .22LR, without worrying about my bank account taking a huge hit. Anyhow, here it is:

for comparison, the OEM stock:

The "can" is really a barrel shroud. It screws in to the front sight base, and is also held on with a set screw. I may make an SBR out of it one day, and get a real can to put on it. Right now, I like it just fine.

Cool. I pick mine up today (as long as it made it to my FFL)...

Looks like there is a pistol version coming out as well-

Is that retractable stock fairly solid when fully extended? Are the side prongs metal? It looks like it fits tighter with no gap between the receiver and stock. I heard that if you yank the retractable stock back hard, the side prongs pull off the gun in your hand because there is no last stop. I am debating whether to get this or the folding stock.

Have you found a place that had a low profile claw mount in stock?

www.redwolfairsoft.com has from what I've seen on AR15.com a high quality metal low profile claw mount in stock. I ordered mine earlier this week and am waiting for it to get here...
