A 3.5 millisecond (ms) pulsar in a binary system was recently discovered in the error box of the unidentified Energetic Gamma Ray Telescope Experiment (EGRET) source GRO J0752+17. We extend various gamma-ray pulsar models to the ms regime and discuss their predictions for the detectability of the 3.5 ms pulsar as well as for other known ms pulsars. We use the derived luminosities from these models to predict the magnetic field of the 3.5 ms pulsar. We conclude that if the 3.5 ms pulsar is indeed the source of the gamma-ray emission, its emission will either be unpulsed or this ms pulsar cannot have been recycled according to current recycling models.
