GEMTECH's New G5-22 Suppressor for the Sig Sauer 522

GEMTECH has released a NEW suppressor specifically for the Sig Sauer 522. It is called the G5-22, and is a complete redesign from their previous Outback II suppressor. The new G5-22 is designed for those shooters that want a full size suppressor look for their rifle, vs the smaller (yet still very effective) Outback II.

GEMTECH is offering the suppressor for $495.00 from their website located at : http://www.gem-tech.com

We have no confirmation that they are going to offer a non-functioning inert model like they do with the Outback, but it appears that a few people have recieved a non-functioning version of it.


Of course, GEMTECH still offers their fantastic Outback II suppressor for the Sig Sauer 522. The suppressor comes in two versions from GEMTECH.


Version 1 is a Inert, Non-Functioning Suppressor that is great for display purposes, without requiring the $200 BATFE tax stamp. The suppressor is a solid piece of metal, with a smooth oversized bore. There are no baffles in the suppressor, nor can it be modified to include baffles. The non-functioning version is available with the 1/2-28 threads compatible with the Sig Sauer 522. Check your state laws for compliance.

Version 2 is a fully functional suppressor. It requires the $200 BATFE tax stamp, and is not available where the law prohibits it. It too, is threaded for 1/2-28 threads compatible with the Sig Sauer, and many other .22 rifles and pistols.
