H&K to release civilian MP5

[JoshNC]

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.

My MP5K-N has a factory original German barrel. The thread protector loosens with a 3-lug can installed. With the current 3-lug mounting options, I see no reason to use a thread-on suppressor on a SMG.

So theoretically the thread protector could unthread itself and get loose inside the can- then cause an obstruction? Maybe get a thread protector with flats on it so you can torque it down.

Loctite works fine. Degrease. Blue loctite. Thread on tight by hand.

Invest into an MP5 they said, it will only go up in value they said.

HK announces importing more MP5's.

LOL.

Yeah, I think anyone holding a HK94 vollmer conversion with a qualified sear is still in pretty good shape.

Dollar cost averaging. Buy more.

Try some Rocksett. I used it for years to hold a thread-on can on my competition/training AR. Never an issue with it coming loose.

Yeah, not a fan of Navy barrels. 3 lugs hold more secure and I hate thread on mounts. Pretty sure the Navy went with 3 lug threaded just so they could use the same suppressors that they used on their handguns.

I keep hoping HK will make all the roller lock rifles in the United States

Sweet.

Hopefully this is the bleeding edge of an epic 80s surge that will bring back big chick hair, Miami Vice fashion, kids being appropriately bullied, the fall of political correctness, cheap gas, lower obesity rates, and not getting SWATed for riding in the back of pickups.

I don't even know that they still have the tooling for the 91/93 series since they've discontinued the G3 and 33/53 series.
