So initially after waiting for the Sig MPX I decided to move on over to something that is attainable at the moment.
My LGS is selling higher quality cloned (Moore Advanced Dynamics) MP5 and MP5K PDW. They are SBR'd and ready to go on a Form 4. MP5 - 4 position retractable stock, welded picatinny top rail, barrel is threaded and has 3 lug MP5K PDW - folding stock, welded picatinny top rail, HK vert grip , barrel is threaded and has 3 lug While it would be really awesome to have both in my collection, funds say the otherwise. At the moment I am kinda leaning towards the "K" model, as I love the compactness of it and seems a little more befitting of my smaller frame. So if you had to choose one between the two which would you get and why (positives and negatives)? Just looking for your opinions :) |
|
I went with the MP5K. I had one built by IGF and I just received my stamp Monday. This thing is AWESOME. My favorite gun at the moment and will always be at or near the top.
Personally I think the vert grip and pdw stock make for one of the coolest compact packages available. I still love the classic MP5, and would like to get one of those eventually as well, but the K is a must have for MP5 fans IMO. Plus with a suppressor that just puts it over the top! I'm actually having a MP5SD built at the moment as well, just because it's a longer process to complete one of these with the multiple stamps and all so I just wanted to get it going. But one day I'll go for a good ole MP5 with the A3 stock for the trifecta. |
|
I have both. At first I shot the K all the time. Lately I've gone to shooting the standard more, because I kept smashing my knuckles or pinching my skin on the B&T Mount with the K. Plus the K shoots so fast, I find the MP5 smoother to shoot. There's nothing cooler than the K... Except an SD, but I've been there, done that.

dumb question but I have to ask:
How do you guys that own MP5's afford them? I just looked at typical going rate prices from 2010 for MP5 variants and they were 15-20k each. is that correct? Also, a form 3 is what is required to purchase and any civvy can get a form 3 correct (obviously if you meet the criteria)? |

Basically what lilMAC25 said. A lot of the MP5s are sa and are either clones or actual HKs, or a combination of clones with HK parts in it. And lots of transferable sears out there to give those with $$$$$$$$$ an opportunity to have FA. |

Of my 3 the MP5 is a German A2 kit on a LSC receiver. The SD and K are both all-American RCM parts on LSC receiver. German sights, mag release and trigger groups. All 3 built by Ghilliebear/Parabellum Combat Systems.

I've been leaning towards getting a reverse stretch. I like the short barrel and the ability to use the A2 and A3 stocks.

They are getting a group buy over on HKPro for Knights Armament MP5-N and I'm all over that. I will probably get another MP5K just for that can and debating buying 2 just because probably last time they will ever be made. |

View Quote They actually go for $25k to $32k in the current market, depending on how they were converted. A "transferable" fullauto refers to one of several options: 1. A domestically produced fullauto made prior to the May 19, 1986 cutoff 2. A foreign made fullauto imported prior to the 1968 cutoff of the GCA of '68. Foreign made fullautos imported after '68 but prior to May 19, 1986 are know as pre-86 dealer samples. These can be purchased by an FFL/SOT without having a LE demo letter and may be kept after giving up the FFL/SOT. 3. A domestically made fullauto that was exported out of the US, but re-imported prior to the GCA of '68. Any such item reimported after '68, but prior to May 19, 1986 is a pre-86 dealer sample as in #2. 4. A foreign made semiauto converted to fullauto (and properly registered at the time of conversion) in the US prior to May 19, 1986. Form-3 is used to transfer any title-2 firearm between FFL/SOTs. No transfer tax is required. Form-4 is used to transfer any title-2 firearm from FFL/SOT to an individual or from individual to individual. Form-4 requires payment of $200 transfer tax. As to how anyone affords these items now, there are many ways. Some have very high salary and/or net worth. Others prioritize by not spending foolishly on high dollar depreciating items like cars, trucks, boats, jet skis, ATVs, etc. Some bought when things cost less. This includes me. But I can tell you that I have about $16k in my all German mp5k-pdw based on an sp89 with DLO fullauto trigger frame. When I bought the frame and host in 2006, I almost threw up for about two weeks after sending funds. So even back when things were cheaper, at least when I started buying they were never truly "cheap". If you want to buy a fullauto and can afford to do so without jeopardizing your family's health/safety, retirement, kids' college fund, etc then I recommend you figure a way to get in the game sooner rather than later. They continue to appreciate. |

Oh and I forgot to mention, my preference goes to the mp5k-pdw. It is so compact. Mine is all German and runs like a scalded dog on semiauto, fullauto, suppressed, unsuppressed. A friend has a post sample factory fullsize mp5 and I used to have a Coharie CA5 fullsize pistol that I used with my DLO pack. I installed the #28 locking piece and it runs without issues shooting 115gr, 124gr, 147gr, and 158gr (a no-no per HK). The #28 locking piece slows it down close to a fullsize mp5 on fullauto, which makes it a controllable weapon instead of a "German MAC".

It is my understanding that HK only recommends using super sonic ammo in a SD. I just don't see what a SD has to do with whether to buy a full size or a K gun. As the owner of MP5K, MP5K PDW, MP5K with a full size receiver, and a full size 9mm clones, I like to say that they all have their pluses and minuses. They are all fun, in their own way. I would suggest that you go to a few shoots and try the guns yourself. If you'd be in Las Vegas, PM me. You can try my guns.

Given those choices, I would go with the MP5 for the slightly longer barrel and increased firearm space. The MP5 is quite cramped, or at least it is for me.

Went to battlefield vegas and two mags through a mp5sd in full auto and was just amazed on how controllable that gun is.

The SD is a unicorn all by itself. I like the A2 because I can use any 3-lug can, and cleaning is easier. The SD was after I had my full-size, and before the K.

in a semi auto, K all the way... wish I had gone with the K but clones for them were very uncommon 5 years ago... really wish I bought the sear for $12k when I bought the guy's Cohaire Arms MP5 pistol clone... Only until recently when I shot a full auto clone at a recent MG event did I get why so many people rave about them, they are definitely smoother shooting than M11/9 lage setup. 6 times as good though you can debate, but you do have other flexibility with a sear
Also passed on a $14k married sear when I bought my FNC, I just couldn't swing both at the same time. Plus the gun still lacked a proper threaded barrel / lug muzzle. As far as buying them, I also use the boat / atv example and every other guy asking then relates to me how he bought an boat, ATV or UTV and it hardly gets used while it depreciates to zero. And cars, I enjoy cars and to be honest, you get way more use out of a car than any MG. Its just a question of what you prioritize... You can still get your car fix by buying an interesting 6 year old car vs. a brand new one and easily save $20k. The funny thing in all this, I rarely use my MGs and even my buddies may shoot a couple mags through them and are done. I know some people just love to hose away endlessly as if the Chinese Red Army is coming over the berm, different strokes for different folks I guess. But like nearly everything in life, the experience is overrated. The best thing you can do is becoming shooting buddies with someone that has machine guns or has a SOT. I mostly enjoy handgun defense training, long gun SHTF training and longer range accuracy. The MG gets picked up and blasted away at 10 yards for effect, once the novelty wears off for that day, its allowed to sit and cool. |

I personally love the MP5K the best between the two. I am working on a build made of parts from Ben at Gatewood Supply. Also, there is a great armorer near me named Nick Hope who does a lot of work for the C2/C3 guys, and I hope to have him build a K for me one day. Those HKs are expensive as crap to build. Then, if I go the sear route, we are talking about a $25-$30,000 gun! Dang!
Good luck with it all. At this rate, it will take me a few years to get mine together! LOL. ETA - edit for spelling error |

i am thinking the 2nd MP5 will be an MP5k-pdw with the barrel extension, so the girlfriend can stop taking the other one.

The PDW barrel has 3-lug and threaded. True MP5K's barrel is flush with the end of the handguard. Same with the SP89.

I have had a SP89 cone for years and want to SBR it. After I get my stamp I am going to get one of the Fleming A2 stock adapter($100) and have it milled so I can put a A3 stock on it.
