GSG-5 mount question

[Guest smittyb]

I would like to put some sort of magnified optic on my GSG-5, but I am looking for a setup with QD capability. The only thing I have found so far is a 2.5-10x40 scope, which is more than I really need, and it costs 200 bucks. I would like something around 4x that I could take on and off easily to use iron sights. Does anyone know of a setup like this? I have been searching the interwebz and have not come up with anything. Thanks.

If I were to get a 4x illuminated reticle scope, does any one know of a one piece QD mounting system that does not cost 100 bucks?

Seriously, all the tacticool peoples on here don't know where I can get something like this 30mm Scope Rings - AR-15 QD Detachable Scope Mount that does not cost as much as another gun?

Do a search for "claw mount" for an MP5. I have not seen one that has the integrated rings, but they do make them with a rail for mounting a scope mount like you linked to.

Unless I am mistaken (which is possible) you are gonna have to start with a claw mount for the GSG 5 or other MP5 variant as the groundwork for mounting a scope.

Right. I've got the claw mount part. What I was looking for was just like what I posted the link to. I still have not found one for under 150 bucks, but I bought A Ncstar 4x32 fake acog looking thing with the quick release built in to the base for REALLY cheap instead. Hopefully it will work out ok.

Original Post title has been edited to clear up this obfuscation.

OR so I thought, apparently I cannot change it?
