H&K to release civilian MP5

[hotrodder636]

Oh lord, I need another HK like a hole in the head...but I will likely end up with 1...probably 2 the full sized and the K.

(s&h was doing it on the sp5k ones for like 75 bucks)

Just received two back from Curtis last week. Excellent work.

Can't argue your logic on timeline. Will stay hopeful can pick one up by summer.

I just picked up the HK SP5K a few months ago and I love it, but now I need this! I was actually just debating if I should pick up a second SCAR 17 but I think I will get this instead since it will likely be short lived run!

I'm in Va, I hope I can have the existing ones I have come next year(or I should say I'm hoping I don't need to move).

As far as S&H I was talking to Mike at TSC about my sp5k's and he said to just send the bolt carriers to Curtis as he did it right with tool steel and was doing it cheap enough that Mike had no interest in competing with him on it. I had like a month delay because Curtis was on vacation and told me to call him in around a months time(might have been a little less). Still I can't complain.

For the sp5 I was kinda personally hoping for a straight F gun but it sounds like we are getting a navy. Might try to get an L version and have mike cut the barrel to a mp5 one as I kinda want one without the navy threading to make into a basic a2.

I’ll just leave this here....

Ah, brings back pleasant memories.....

I just want K with a paddle release and threads and tri lug!

That’s a good plan. I too prefer the standard 3-lug to the 3-lug and threaded Navy barrel. I ended up loctiting the thread protector in place on my K-N and N.

I must be odd man out. Having both threads and tri-lug gives me option to use diff. supressors on same gun. Put MK9K on one SP5K and Ti-Rant on other. Managed to buy unobtanium AAC tri-lug adapter when still around so can also run Ti-Rant as 3 lug.

Of course this means buying two more cans to go with two SP5's. Will probably go with Ti-Rants. Works well on G17's and 19's as well.

I've seen issues with thread protectors being out of spec and have multiple 3 lug cans. I prefer qd mounts over threads whenever possible to help prevent the can from walking.

In my case I've never used the threads on a few 3 lug mounts and prefer the look of the normal 3 lug when in a basic a2 config. I get why HK would sell them with the navy barrel though.
