Im looking at a Special Weapons Inc. MP5SD Receiver for $1700, supposedly it runs perfectly fine and its marked Special Weapons Inc. Spring Lake, MI
is this a good price for a SW receiver? I heard some bad things about SW |

I'll just throw myself on top of the dogpile.
If that receiver were priced HALF of that it would be a deal, but as it stands it is priced almost the same as the current new Omega gun which -should- be the superior choice. Plus SW guns have a very deserved bad reputation. Not all of them are bad, but in today's crowded market full of excellent choices there is no reason to roll the dice and buy a used SW gun unless it is a complete and total steal of a deal. |

IIRC the SW MP5SD had a weird barrel that only worked with a SW can. My SW MP5SD barreled receiver runs with my post sample HK MP5SD can and has never had a malfunction of any kind. There are a lot of internet experts out there with zero personal experience.

It's $49 more for the Omega SD barreled receiver from Atlantic. https://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-pistols/omega-9mm-full-size-barreled-receiver-with-wide-mouth-hand-guard-detail.html?Itemid=0 |

I heard some bad things about SW That is about 2x what I paid for mine. With that said, I wish I had bought 100. It runs 100% with my Post-86 trigger pack, and every SD silencer I have tried fits perfectly - KAC, TPM, B&T. |

And it comes with support from Atlantic, which is a huge bonus in my book. |

Negative, you need a can or a fake can that blocks the ports. Waste of $100 in my opinion, but maybe I'm just too patient for my own good. |
