Picked up 5 more HK mags from B&T Parts. I love this SP-5 but damn I’m going to be $750 into mags when it’s all said and done.

Could be worse, like APC45 mags. Can't wait for the Form 1s to come back on my SP5s. Wonder what will happen first, that, or the sidefolding stocks and german diopter drums becoming available again? |

You’ll have your stamps back before rear sights pop up anywhere.

Wonder what will happen first, that, or the sidefolding stocks and german diopter drums becoming available again? I’m normally a “ew US made parts?” guy, but really, Just get the US made drum - it matches the finish better than the HK drum, it installs easily and functions as expected. I was grouping about 1.5” at 50 yards. Big improvement from the OEM castle sight. I shoot this too much to wait any longer on an HK sight, and I was going to use this until the HKs are available but after seeing it installed I’m going to keep it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You’ll have your stamps back before rear sights pop up anywhere. Well, I bit the bullet and ordered those B&T sidefolders from BT-parts too. Let's see what comes in first----my eform1s, or my stocks. Seeing "ETA 4-6 weeks" unchanged for a month now doesn't give me a lot of confidence. I also said screw it and ordered the US made HKparts sights. I've had these things a while now and can't wait to use them. I think I'm going to order a GSL Phoenix now too. |

Plus it never hurts to have the A2 around. I bought the last sight from Gatewood as well. It is used and came with more than just the drum but I want to shoot one of these already. |

Arms unlimited was selling the Euro marked (arguably a better looking gun) versions up until about a month ago for $2,995. That’s the only place I’ve seen them in stock on a regular (non gunbroker auction site) in a while. |

Yeah my assumption is that they paused production on the K to produce the full size SP5, which makes business sense as it is more popular. Could also be truth to the rumor of an updated sp5k coming with paddle and three lug barrel. |

Neither of mine are, but my SNs are about 1200 less than that one.
Installed a diopter and stock on one today, still waiting on my B&T stocks to come in and one more diopter:  I have a GSL Phoenix on order, but obviously won't see it for a long, long time. Until then I have a Kraken. |

MP5 lowers are serialized too, but it’s usually on the metal front plate that’s not seen once the lower is installed.

Cheapest and easiest way would be US mag (3 parts), handguard (1 part), grip frame (1 part), stock (1 part) If you want to retain the ability to use german mags you can replace the mag with US made trigger, hammer, and sear |
