I have one. Got mine when they first came out. Need gun and I enjoy it. I have modded the **** out of mine too. I will not sell it BUT if you are looking for a hard use gun, or a gun for a youngster, or a "this will be my only 22 rifle gun," DO NOT BUY IT. They are fragile, have lots of parts that will break with significant use and they can be a bear to work on in terms of tearing it down a lot due to wearing out some of the pot metal threads, etc. If you are looking for a cool gun that is tons of fun to modify and shoot go for it. One thing I will say, the importer, ATI has been very excellent to deal with in terms of sending parts or fixing things on their dime. I have shot mine alot and several things have broken and they have fixed everything without any issue.
Here is mine in some of its incarnations.

Someone mentioned rimfirecentral as a good resource, and it is. However, the real GSG-5 database is here, http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=6&f=41
There are several issues common to these guns, some have been addressed in the second and third generations of the guns from ATI, others users have been addressing. You can learn it all there.
