Does anyone make an aftermarket Suppressor to fit in place of the old factory aluminium can of the Mp5 SD? Preferrably something using the newer Titanium technology.

There are 3-4 companies currently in production:
Coharie Arms $400.00 (www.blackmarketparts.com)
RDTS $700.00
RCM $650.00
Knight's Armament $1800.00
Thats it currently. S&H Arms did a run awhile back. Their was a guy in TX on here a couple weeks back trying to sell a RDTS.

Ive got an RDTS for sale. $500 on a form 4 in Texas. The RDTS is stainless
Less than 50 rnds fired throught it and it is like new.
You better check the lead time on those listed above. The RDTS takes 6-12 months, RCM doesnt want to make any more, ect.

Its not that we don't want to make them its the fact that we don't want to have to paper them and then sit on them for the next five years.

Knights is doing a run right now but they're expensive. However if you have a MP5SD you can probably swing it...

Ok is Knight charging so much just cause they don't really care and know there will be enough people who will buy it anyway?

If yours was on a Form 3 it would be all over but the crying! Since its a Form 4 out of state pays 2 stamps. My dealer said Form 3 transfers to him free and I pay 1 stamp?

Knights can charge what they want because most of them will be bought by the government or some agency. It's simple supply & demand. I was comfortable years ago dropping $1,500.00 on mine. Could I have bought a better, cheaper can? No because I wanted a Knights.
