Mp5k

[for_hire]

I contacted a local class 3 dealer today in hopes to get started on purchasing a MP5K in semi-auto.. I was told that HK no longer imports that particular weapon. I want to know if there is anyway i can purchase this weapon. And I can not find a price on this weapon can anyone help me out?

thanks,

check out Vector Arms website, cost about a grand.

A semi MP5 is a SP89

A semi MP5 is a SP89

It will save you a $200 tax stamp and some paper work (as long as you don't put a stock on it). They are considered handguns.

Heavy Metal-
MP5K K=pistol

MP5K K=pistol

Yeah you're right....

 

[Father Knows Best]

I thought the "K" was for "kurz" -- the German word for "short" -- and referred to barrel length. If it has a shoulder stock on it, it's a rifle. If the barrel is less than 16" long, and it has a shoulder stock, then it's a short barreled rifle (SBR) and is subject to the tax stamp. What am I missing?

Here's one for $17K.

It is. Humor trueblue though and pretend you know what he/she is talking about.

read it and weep

 

[Heavy Metal Hero]

What is there to read? It is just a listing of their SMGs and PDWs. There is a listing above that with handguns....and I don't see the MP5K there.

Lemme educate you....

Kurz (MP5K) German for 'short'

From http://www.tea-and-medals.co.uk/glossary.htm

dude, there are the stock codes and designations on my link, from HK. I remember the MP5K from the federal stock system.

Whatever you say friend. Let's not waste anymore space on this OT nonsense.


For_Hire Vulcan may be your best bet. It won't be an original H&K but it will save you a lot of money.

Thanks guys..Right now will probally be the best time in my life to get it..I have a good job that pays well no debt whatsoever and no bills..Is vector arms the only company that sells those types of rifles?..

 

[trueblue1776]

Vector and Bobcat(Red Rock Arms) are the only ones with decent customer relations. A lot of companies in the HK clone biz have very questionable quality and service, Vector is pretty good though.

 

[Heavy Metal Hero]

Vector Arms sells the Kurz versions, but other companies such as Bobcat sells the MP5A series (sans stock or they have a 16" barrel).

Hope this helps!

Heavy Metal is correct. K is short for Kurz which means short.

The MP5K is the short MP5. It is not a pistol. Even without the stock it comes with a front grip which immediately disqualifies it from being a pistol.

http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg15-e.htm

The SP-89 on the other hand is a pistol because it does not have the front grip or a stock.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

I thought MP5K/SP89= pistol version,
MP5K-PDW= folding stock version

You could have gotten one for $42 here: http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976731896.htm


Depending on how much $$ you have you can find a few full auto MP5K's but it looks like SP89s are scarce.
Does the vertical foregrip on the semi ones make them an AOW?

can anyone confirm that vector arms are reliable? seems like this would be my best bet

 

[trueblue1776]

A friend of mine has a V53 from Vector, good fit/finish and works well. Their Uzi's seem pretty good, next to an IMI Uzi they still look decent.

Bobcat? As in formally Special Weapons and how many other name changes?

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/055/ripoff0055501.htm

I've owned several HK MP5 clones and I would never buy another unless JLD came out with one. The other two I owned I bought used for about half the price of what they sold for new and it was still more then they were worth IMO


The only HK clone company I would trust is JLD. No experience with Vector so I can't comment on their quality.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

No they changed again. Now they are called Red Rock Arms

ive shot my friends mp5k. It's pretty fun. But burning through the ammo gets expensive.

 

[Prince Yamato]

I thought the "K" meant "Kirche Gewer". Jeez, no wonder the parishioners at St. Mary's gave me weird looks!

 

[Father Knows Best]

I've heard good things about Vector, and lots of very bad things about Bobcat. I don't have personal experience with either of them.

thanks for all the links..I know very little about these companies but i'm going to get a MP5K just choosing one that will work very well is my only concern.

does anyone have bad track records with atlantic, vulcan, or vector? if so would you please elaborate on both the positives and negatives?...thanks
