What he said.  It didn't happen without pictures to back it up.

P.S.  Please, no toes in any of the photos.  Our retinas have been damaged enough already.

You will continue to love it.  Get the conversion kit though and turn it into a gsg5.

You will also want to get a buffer for the cocking tube assembly.  Otherwise, they have been known to crack.

HK pushpins make it look more authentic.

And finally, the screw kit will replace the factory screws with regular screws but be sure to loctite them.  The factory screws are known to back out and have caused cracked bolt halves. 



Here is my PK.  I used an airsoft trigger housing and modified it to fit the GSG.  I used a factory HK safety selector and modified it to fit the PK.
