I like MP5's
I decided that it had been long enough since I had owned one. So...this morning i began with a German MP5 kit, in 9mm and a receiver...and got this far. Tomorrow is another day.

Re: I like MP5's
Yes they are a lot of fun to shoot. Any more they are also cheap to shoot as well. My favorite version is the standard fixed stock with I think it was safe, semi & auto. It was the first MP I ever shot. While we're on the subject (been thinking about this for a little while) who makes the best MP5/ SP89 clone out there?

I would not know what/who to reccomend. The H&K 94 with a cut down barrel is the best, I think or with the 16" barrel pressed out and with a 3-lug navy, replacement. I have looked at a lot of clones. Some seemed nice others appeared to be finless brown trout. I decided to simply build my own...make all the learning curve mistakes on it... The trouble is the scum receivers that are available for building. I expect the suppliers only offer their ..."seconds"...to the public and keep the ones which are "in-spec"...for internal use. I have learned to ONLY ever use German parts. Everthing/anything else is junk.

Re: I like MP5's
Great weapon, but as I see you live in OhioI have a question. I own a couple class 3 weapons and it seems that you are assembling a class 3 weapon for yourself. How is this accomplished legally. I would love to be able to do this project but always thought that I would be required to get a manufacturers license? Thanks.

Re: I like MP5's
Yes the first MP I ever shot was a converted 94 (sear gun). What I'm thinking about is more of an SBR rather then select fire weapon. I know that the best H&Ks are made by H&K but those tend to be few & far between and when they are available, tend to be on the pricey side (yes,yes I know, you get what you pay for). This isn't a high priority issue for me so I'll keep looking. Good luck with your build.ohiomgman wrote:

Re: I like MP5's
I have a fleming sear, never installed it and never intend to either. An investment if you will, paid $5500 for it. People trip out when I show it to them and tell them how much it's worth being the fact that it's about $1.25 worth of steel. I used to be an HK whore but sold off most of my crap to fund a semi PKM, still have several HK pistol's and a set of consec serial numbered SP89's that I bought in the early 90's when they were 900 bucks each. If I had your licenses I would have all kinds of pre and post samples, i'm surprised it's taken you so long. I as well prefer the A2 stocks, I have a hard time getting a decent cheek weld with the A3 stocks, but them do look cooler with them on.

Re: I like MP5's
Just out of the park tank and drying in the warm sunlight. Next stop...4 coats of Gun Kote, in H&K black...then into the bake oven.
I am begining to think that an MP5SD is going to be a needful thing...
I got My H&K G3, rock and roller out... and ...was astonished at how heavy the thing is...Damn! I must be getting old!

Re: I like MP5's
I have sent the trigger pack out for conversion to semi-auto and to have it tuned to a crisp 4.5 lb pull...by Bill Springfield, in Colorado Springs. Other than for installing the reworked pack on its' return. THIS MP5, SBR is DONE.
Now... to order in a single point sling...more mags..and a silencer....

Re: I like MP5's
Thats a load of sh*t if i've ever heard one! So it's the patriotic thing these days to build AR-15'S? You probably drive a Honda
Re: I like MP5's
NOPE, I drive a Chevy and a FORD.
I have never owned or driven a Import...AND my Tractor is green also.

You can build an SBR, a silencer or a howitzer...as long as you are able to file a BATFE form 1 in your local. Sorry, you cannot EVER build a MG on a form one...as a non SOT/FFL/NFA licensee.... Not after may of 1986.
