Once again I found myself burnt out on the AR15/M16 Platform . I dove headlong into the HK Platform with an HK 91 ( G3) and its spares and Mags and trickery . Then I thought of an HK 22LR and remembered the GSG 5 Mishegoss of 15-20 years back . I remembered how snobby I was ( into real deal Retro M16/ AR15 builds and thinking 22 Conversion units for those and not yet doing Dedicated 22 Builds ) and the AKT-98 / WASR 22 craze ( Real Romanian AK22 ) was hittin hard so I had 3 of those already and the GSG 5 seemed too Airsofty with its Split receiver ( a no no in the AR / M16 and AK/ AKM arenas ) and passed on the GSG love affair & court dramas . Well now I’m revisiting the little blaster from the Past and love it as a change up . Pics. Inbound of two builds I have so far with refinements deemed worthy over such a long time of others tinkering and aftermarket wizardry …

I had one of these at one time....It was OK, didn't keep it long.

I found that the S&W M&P 15-22 .22 pistol was a lot better as far as a suppressor host, ease of optic mounting, etc.

/-----/As a Baby Boomer, let me say, I read your post and have no idea what you're talking about. I understood the words "platform" and "builds," but nothing else.
BTW, can you use a rotary pay phone?

He's in CA and stuck with .22 clones so forgive him.

That said there was never a Romanian .22 AK "craze" anywhere I'm aware of. ;)
