Hi,
Thanks for the add!
I've joined to try and find a little info on the gsgs

Basically wondering how you identify a mk1 and mk2

So any advise is welcome in pros n cons etc of this model

Thanks

"Thanks for the add!"????

I think we have had this on here before but still don't know what it means.

It means thanks for letting me join your forum.

Pull the trigger. If it goes bang 95% of the time its Gen2, if its more like 70% of the time its Gen1

Haha, was hoping for some kind of marking I went and viewed a new one but when asked he rang some one and said it's a mk1.... Ive found another to view and upon chatting he said there are no markings saying it's a mk2

I don't know but if you can find the date the Mk2 started shipping, the manufacture date would give you an answer..

I have just bought one if its new from Edgar brothers then I would assume its a mark 2. Mine works flawlessly up to now. If you are buying new contact Edgar Brothers that's where they come from.

The guy in shop presumably rang Edgar brother while I was in shop and they said it had been in stock for over 2 years and that it was a mk1

I asked the same question as above on ebay and one way of id is that of the bit that holds the rear metal bar on
So a mk2 the metal at the bottom wraps all the way around and the mk1 is more built then looked on google images and quite easy to spot that difference

I had thought about calling Edgar brothers my self but didnt want to waste their time

Try contacting GSG direct, I've done it in the past and while it took them a few days to get back to me, they did actually reply.
