Can someone make a MP5 replica in 9mm that's affordable?  Everyone would get one!...I'm still dreaming about it.  Dammnit H&K make a MP5 in 9mm for the civillians with a DECENT price.  You would make so much profit!

Uhmmm, ever think that some issues such as "patent infringement" might rear its ugly head?

what about the GSG 5??  Wouldn't that be infringement also then?

I do think about infringements.  The GSG is not because it's in .22LR caliber.  But H&K needs to make one then.

What do you consider affordable?  There are a few companies making copies in 9mm as I see them all the time in shops.  The big question is how much do you want to spend and don't say "the same price as a GSG" as that is not gonna happen.

The patent on the MP5 expired quite a while ago.

get a CA..1300-1400 bucks at my gun shop not a bad price. I'm trying to save up to get their SD version which is a tad over $2k

Then why hasn't a reliable, affordable US-made (sweat shop labor if ya have to) copy been done yet?

I know there's "Swezul" Weapons & other clones, but none have proven by the market to be both affordable AND reliable, not one. That is puzzling, IMO. In this time of CNC machining & whatnot & someone can't crank out MP5's like we're churning out AR's? I am indeed befuddled & saddened. Because *I* know that would sell like there was no tomorrow!

Yeah exactly..what person said above.  I mean affordable as in around $500-800 range.   You can get an AR for that price I don't understand why you can't get a semi 9mm MP5 too.  All those replicas are pretty expensive for a replica MP5.  Hopefully someone bright will manufacture this.
