Anyone post this?  If so delete.  From the main website...

"The MP5 SF (Single Fire) Carbine is a semiautomatic only variant of the MP5 fitted with a trigger group that prevents full automatic firing. It is supplied with a detachable flash hider as a standard feature."

Too bad we can't import them...

Just thinking aloud.

Think they are pushpin receivers, that alone would make it too evil for mere mortals to possess.  Nevermind the importation ban and parts count issues.

yep, the only thing that makes them semi only is the grip housing / trigger  pack...

If you swap the grip housing out to a full auto you would be good to go for a machine gun.
you may have to swap bolt carriers too, I don't know if HK put auto bolt carriers in the
SF guns or not...

I think these were mainly a marketing thing... good way to sell their products to depts that
are too scared to by Autos for all...  

competition for the 870 and AR in the squad car kind of market.

As to the usefulness of such a product, one need only look at the hundreds of CA DOJ HK94s surplused to the market because they are not good for real LE work.

I believe the FBI had the MP5 SF available to agents for awhile.
