| Ok you guys that have done the USC to UMP conversion, How much did it cost. I mean how much including the USC and the conversion. For you that have done .40 is it the extra 900 bucks worth it? I havent ever really been into HK guns but all of my pistols are in .40 and I reload that caliber. Something about having a SMG that shoots 180grn federal HST's has me Interested. Ive got a pretty good size bonus coming from work in december and may be putting this into buying a USC. thanks for the info guys. |

My UMP project was about $3,200 by the time you add transfer fees, sales tax, shipping the barrel to ADCO, etc. I used all HK German parts but I know you can go with HDPS parts to save some $$$ (if you prefer). You might consider buying someone else's UMP project that maybe they have fallen out-of-love with, and be cheaper/quicker. If not, Tom Bostic is the man to talk to about having USC work done. Good guy and quality/cost ratio is fantastic! Quoted:
Finding a USC might be interesting - saw one on gunbroker for $2900. Then add about $1700 in parts. Plus Mags. WOW! My USC was $1,400 when I bought it- but then again HK was still making them. I don't recall there being $1700 in parts though. Unless you're including labor? Total for conversion parts that I see, is $900 @ HKParts. Semi UMP lower, lower pin, rear stub, German stock, stock pin... use original USC barrel... Am I forgetting parts? |
OP,have you considered doing a roller locked in .40 S&W? I have a full size, K-PDW, and just received a SD, but have not shot it yet. Here is me shooting my K PDW with a .40 caliber MK9K:
The K PDW is so much more compact than the full size and the UMP. The UMP certainly has more versatility, but since the OP is looking for this specific caliber a roller locked might be a better choice. I have shot a UMP Post Sample, once. It took less than a mag to tell that the roller locked gun shoots much smoother. This is just my opinion. YMMV. Scott |

My breakdown:
USC - 1750 UMP .40 kit (barrel, milled bolt, 1 mag) - 600 Stock - 95 HDPS Stock Block - 200 UMP lower - 250 UMP rails - 35 Dremel - 65 barrel cut/threading - 95 (from atwell tactical -fantastic work!!!!!!) Total for conversion - 3090 I never pay more than $55/mag when they come up for sale. I do believe the .40 mags are easier to come by at a cheaper price than the 9 or 45. I have an additional 500 or so in an optic and mount, and forward grip. Buying a dremel and doing the work myself was very satisfying and I learned a lot. It is pretty easy to do actually. I did not cut out the vents as that is something that I would want a pro to do. If you shop around .40 kits are pretty cheap right now at around 600 for a milled kit. I say go for it. I love my conversion and it is fun as hell. Everyone that shoots it, loves it. |

For those thinking about making a UMP .40 or for those that already have, these guys have new mags for $39.95 each with $10 shipping, or get 6 for $235 shipped. Great deal. I bought 6. Who? Link? These guys. You know, these guys? |
