    I called my local dealer and put my name down. They already sold their one SP5 they had shipped to them this week. Hopefully it won’t be long. I have wanted a real MP5 since I was in grade school. I’m going to put a Knight’s RAS on it. Still trying to decide on the stock after I submit a form 1.

    Numrich has the best deal going on German F stocks. I would pick that and a diopter sight up now as I believe they will be hard to find as more of the SP5’s flood the market.

    For the diopter I would try HK specialist, HKParts sells a knockoff as an all-german part.

    I would presume the MP5 is more accurate and smoother, but that is just based on the roller-lock vs the straight blowback. Shooting a real Mp5 is way better than my NFA FA Uzi, but I am sure the APC is way smoother than an uzi. But I agree it is nicer to have the railed top rather than having to use a pic mount.
    Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”

    Correct, APC is a closed bolt and has a very effective hydraulic buffer system but it’s still a blowback gun and when shot next to an MP5 is noticeably harsher.

    I hear 1985 calling. They seemed too pricey then and do now as well.

    It is my understanding that the first “batch” will be limited but we should be patient as more are expected.

    Did I miss a different announcement?

    The APC9 fullauto is (to me) subjectively just as smooth and soft shooting as my fullauto MP5K-N with #28 (80 degree) locking piece, and only ever so slightly less so than my fullauto MP5-N with F stock. I haven’t benched my MP5s or the APC9, but I can say that practically speaking I don’t notice a difference between the APC9 and MP5 in accuracy. The APC9 uses a cold hammer forged nitrided barrel made from the same A&D steel as HK barrels - they are accurate barrels. I love my fullauto UZIs, however they are a different class of SMG than the MP5 and APC9.

    F stock, no contest. As previously mentioned, Numrich is the best price.

Taking huge hits on re-sale values of stuff that is a competitor or oddity compared to more recognized weapons. At the prices you could potentially buy an MP5 for right now- say under $3K, it's really a no brainer. They were what $5K on up just a few months back for used HK 94's? People paying over $8K on up for an SBR'd re-marked HK 94 or SP89? It was getting ridiculous. This is a huge deal getting in on these SP5/MP5's at this price point. Especially for all the guys that wished they had bought one back when they were much more affordable. Given the age of the MP5, I'd say it's likely to get phased out sooner than later but from a nostalgia stand point- who doesn't want an MP5, they are just cool looking.
    Buy both. Problem solved.
