They don't cost $3k, unless you want collectors quality. If you're gonna blast, you can find Em new for $2100. Used for considerably less. I see stories all the time of gun shops selling them for $1400.

You don't HAVE to have optics. They have good easily usable irons. Rails cost extra $ on any gun.lights too.

The GUN ITSELF isn't $3k. Extra shit cost extra. Get the gun now. Save for the extra shit.

Holy crap, I can't make it any more clear than how I previously stated it: to replicate the configuration pictured, it will cost me $3k. NO SHIT, THE GUN ITSELF ISN'T 3K.  NO SHIT, THE EXTRA STUFF COSTS MORE.  I even acknowledged the base gun is $2k!  What don't you understand?

You stated you can build it all day long for $2K.  You can't.  RTFP

Beltfed Precision MP5 Navy w/ Sear (NFA) ..

LMAO!
Seriously??? That dam thing is fugly!



MP5's are fun as Hell and I love mine. Out of all the guns in my collection I find myself packing the MP5 on every range trip.

Ummm, ok. It gets no more dirty than any other gun that shoots 9mm and if you think its heavy  you need to work out.

5.56 out of a 11" barrel vs 9mm out of the same?
Umm ok.

I'm 6ft tall with monkey arms. This is my hang up with the K. I'm afraid that after the cool factor starts slowing down,  I'll regret getting the short model even though I prefer the looks and utility of it.

I misread it and thought you were under the impression that the gun itself was $3K.



PS, you can buy a KZ mount from Botach, a PA MRDS and an unlabeled Surefire forearm to save some $.

Find someone locally  who has both and shoot them. It will help you decide.

Alternately, check the Reverse Stretch (standard rear end with K front end)

Semi-auto SMGs are meh - I'd rather put the money into expanding my handgun collection.








 

For that amount of money invested, I think I'd rather have a Mk18 with a can, and still have change leftover.

Don't care for the reverse stretch, just looks funnyto me.  I have shot both,  which is why I'm so confused about it.  Thanks for the help.

Do it just for the cool factor. MP5s make any rational person turn into a little kid again. My form 1 took 42 days to come back, so now is the time to do it. Even that seems to be on the long end.

  Cut down some cheap Korean mags.

I've got the dimensions written down,let me find them.

Yeah, you definitely don't want one.

Get the longer folding stock maybe?


I'm a short SOB (5-8)

This is a Getz k pistol



No it's not.  Fucking iPhone...

Great little shooter ...mine is a Jayson Cotter build that I got at auction for $600...shooting something side by side with a Glock 19 or SigP226 and you realize the benefits of being able to shoulder your weapon...amazingly accurate

You know what?

Fuck you!

LOL

Gilboa 9mm setup looks nice to me.

A >3k factory HK94, I'm not about to leave laying around with carbon caked on it because you need to sacrifice a pile of t-shirts to get all of the carbon out, and even then...you can't be sure it's all clean. There's too many inaccessable nooks and crannies in it. Ever hear of this thing called rust? On an all-steel rifle like the HK, rust is bad, mmmk? Especially if you live in a humid area like I did for a while.

For a 9mm poodleshooter, it is heavy for what it does. There's plenty of lighter things out there that shoot 9mm.

No, 5.56 out of a 11" barrel isn't nearly the same as a 9mm. At 50 or 100 yards, 5.56 is way faster and has way better terminal effect, and will do way way more damage. Again, like I said in my original post...why shoot a pistol round when you can shoot a rifle round out of the same size envelope? There's no good reason ever to go with a 9mm over a 5.56 in the same size envelope (other than plinking and for fun, anyway). Sure, the 9mm is like shooting with the easy button pressed, but 5.56 isn't exactly like wrestling with a drunken and angry bear either.

If the OP wants to spend his money on one, fine. It's simply not all peaches and cream, and he should go into it with his eyes open. Every now and again I consider building up and SBRing an MP5K clone...that's about the only size envelope a 9mm subgun makes sense in to me (along with the TP9/Steyr SPP). Then I remember how much of a bitch it was to completely clean (though, if it's not a factory HK, I wouldn't worry as much about it), how expensive mags were, how expensive factory parts were...then throw in just the cost of it, to buy a gun designed 40+ years ago which SHOULD be dirt cheap but somehow isn't, considering the millions of them they've made...and then if you manage to find and buy one (if it's not a factory HK SP89) having to probably send it off to a reputable smith as odds are it won't run correctly out of the box (see the special weapons shit, and their other knockoffs)...

The HK roller locked guns are interesting and can be fun, I'll give them that. The ones I had in 9mm and 5.56 were reliable. I just couldn't justify, at the end of the day, having that much money tied up into something that was that...annoying, in all the little details.

Yes there is: suppression.

You are never going to get an effective 5.56 suppressed to anywhere near the levels of an effective suppressed 9mm. Not even close.

do it they are a blast to shoot and the cool factor is high




the only firearm I regret selling is my HK SP89,Im going to replace it but it wont be the same

 

Why would you clean it? They run great dirty and wet.

HK irons are perfection itself.

I haven't found an  AR that will fit in my man purse

I've always wanted a MP5 type clone...  Something I can put my Octane 45 HD on....



I shot a suppressed full auto SBR one a year or so ago and it was pretty sweet...



 

Do it!  That's my dream gun.  Let me live vicariously through you.

usually a change in extractors or bolt head fixes any issues with clones.

I vote for an HK53 clone.  Much... MUCH more fun.

Being a dissenting voice, I probably wouldn't sink that much into a 9mm SBR in semi-auto.

For a 9mm semi-auto SBR, I'd be more interested in a DD 9mm AR. I read that someone is making those lowers again.  You'd have the advantage of parts commonality and availability.



Also-- and depending on local laws-- you are a long way towards getting a M-10 or M-11 NFA gun for the coin you are talking about.  They've been hovering around the $5K mark, but recently one did sell under $4K on gunbroker.  Deals can come up.   You could start -- as I am-- working towards a Lage upper and have a 9mm SMG rather than SBR.

Obviously, that path may not be the ideal one for you depending on your budget and intentions. It is simply something to think about.

M-10 version:

Don't get one :)

Pistol just add 922r and stock no need to cut barrel.

You do have a point, I stand corrected. I've never lived (for long) in a state that allowed cans, so I never really think of that application.

Having said that....300blk?

This!

Fair enough. I've also been present in threads where a SW guns was welded on the cock, and needed to be rebuilt from scratch...etc.

I'm not saying they're bad guns, they really aren't. I just don't particularly care for them, after having both an HK94 and an HK93. (And that might be why I got hung up on how much of a PITA they can be to clean; if it were a clone, who cares? But actual HK hardware is very pricy, which means to me it needs to be spotless when I put it away, lest the tireless enemy of rust get to work)

It doesn't stop me from wanting to buy a Vector V53 pistol and SBRing it, and it doesn't stop me from wanting to buy an SP89 clone and SBRing it...but, I just don't want to build them as badly now that I've owned their full size cousins

I posted it here the day it happened 5-6 years ago...I had worse said to me then  

I don't think the OP is talking about one with a happy switch.

Auto or semi?

He'd need to add another zero for a full auto one.

This.

There is nothing more fun at the range than seeing how fast you can clear a rack of steel plates with a semi-auto MP5 clone.

Or set up a course where you have to move and clear 5 to 10 steel popper targets with the timer running.

You can take an assortment of guns to the range, but everybody prefers shooting the MP5 clone over an AR or AK every time.

Buy it and don't look back!

Also, don't spend $50 to $80 for Hk German made magazines.

These are a lot cheaper and are very reliable:

Do it!



Now I want an MP5k  

Agreed. By far my favorite sub gun.

In: It's a neat little carbine, even in SA. Really handy, no recoil, and it's cheap to feed. The POF is a pretty high quality clone that can take standard parts, and there's a lot of aftermarket support for MP5's. There's a lot of cool shit, but some of it can be kind of expensive. Eventually, you can get the FA trigger pack.



Out: For about a grand more (not including FA trigger pack for MP5), than a set up MP5 clone, you can get a real SMG. With the giggle switch. The M-10's and M-11's don't cost that much, and there's a lot of aftermarket stuff for those things too. Even different caliber uppers, the SABRE 5.56 upper was approved last year I believe.

I thought a full auto would be much higher than $3k, but $3k for a semi only seems somewhat ridiculous.

Buy the POF 5. $1,500 for NIB. HK factory license, PUSH PIN LOWER, 3 lug and threaded barrel and actually marked MP5 on the receiver. This is the closest to a real deal HK MP5 on the market. Mine runs flawlessly. These always sell out within hours when a new shipment arrives. Another shipment should arrive in the next 30 days. Keep checking the Atlantic Firearms, Copper Custom and AGS websites.

Do you know the thread pitch?  9mm has one standard RH thread and one metric LH thread.

Never mind.  I see they are 1/2x28 RH.

My suppressor is 13.5x1mm LH.
