HK SP5K / MP5s

[Bret]

It's just where the 3 lug line up at 12, 4 and 6 o'clock. Its aesthetical more than anything

I was wondering that myself. Thanks.

I just checked my MKE Zenith and its timed correctly. FWIW. That timing issue seems silly to me but YMMV.

Dont waste your time on MP5s. they suck.

not a troll. not a joke. Not irony.

They were relevant in from the 60s tp the 80s but nos they simply are not worth the time, money, money, MONEY, and stress for a delayed blowback pistol caliber. They make respectable 9mm ARs that do well in PCC matches.

AR's aren't cool though.

AR's aren't cool though.

We might have just agreed for once.

HK MP5's are the best overall sub guns though today there are newer generations of better subguns available.

I love my HKs. My MP5K-N and MP5-N are near constant range companions. And IMO every collector/shooter needs an HK MP5 variant. It’s a necessity. With that said, the APC9 Pro outclasses the MP5 with regard to updated features and ergonomics. Thankfully we live in a free country and can own both, and more.

After much indecision, I picked up a Zenith Z5RS last week, just because.

I'm pretty pleased with the fit and finish. I'm going to SBR it, but thats about all my plans for this one.

I do wish I'd waited for the APC9PRO, before I jumped on that however.

That APC9 Pro is what I need in my life.

It's an individual question for each person to answer.

There are collector types who are not happy without the markings being perfect on a genuine HK. There are plenty happy with the import clones as shooters. Only you know where you fall on that scale, be honest with yourself about your wants, needs, and finances.

Same with modern tool vs fun/collector gun.
