Let me borrow your HK SP5?

Ah. OK. Rock on. Your profile says Maryland. I do admire your follow thorough.

Posted initial question three hours ago, now have gun and parts on the way lol.

I frequent the area, just not a permanent resident ;-)

I have been eyeballing them hard. Good to hear some first hand experiences from the forum members on the MKE clones. All said and done even with accessories I’ll be about a grand less then a real HK. As long as it shoots the same, I feel OK about that

linkstate, a decisive mind is a sharp mind. You have to grab it when you see it. In my experience, if you don't, you only end up with regret.

Yes, they go FAST. If you want one, get it now. It might seem expensive until you start looking at the cost of an HK stock and realize they start at around $600. Again, the MKE collapsible stocks are built just as well as HK examples.

Ordered!

Knock around their website for a while. I think you'll be happy you did and pleased with what you discover.

Truth. Too many coulda, shoulda, woulda firearm purchase hesitations on the regret list. Either through availability drying up and/or significant cost increase over time.

Some kind of delayed blowback makes a huge difference. Other options are the CMMG RDB setup, that’s probably cheapest. Angstadt Arms, JP make roller delayed uppers, and Mean arms makes a bearing delayed upper. If willing to go with a different platform, the Stribogs are worth a look with a good price point. https://grandpower.eu/products/product-categories/stribog-line/45acp-stribog-line/stribog-sp45/

Oh, thanks.

I never had much interest in a large format pistol, like the Stribog, in 9mm.

I didn't know they came in 10mm and .45 now. 10mm sounds nice, but I have a lot of .45 lying around...

The CA mp5 is a solid buy, but i ran into QC issues with myns. I got the core "k-model", but should be a similar animal. Fortunately, it wasn't anything too drastic. Be sure to check for bolt gap and other google-able preventative maintenance measures. In my case, I think the ejector bar was out of spec as it wore out in less than 1k rounds, leading to intermittent ejection patterns and jams.

After switching it to a german OEM ejector bar, along with a german OEM spring, the ejection issues drastically improved, where the occasional jams is from running really dirty ammo, causing the gun to get carboned up more than usual, especially when suppressed. To further aid in ejection and extraction performance and reliability, I noticed factors of magazines (MKE ones work great), spare extractor springs, and keeping the extractor and ejector parts clean further assure reliable operation. So far, i've ran the gun 5k+ rounds with no noticeable wear.

As mentioned in other posts, it's a hit or miss if your AP5 will run FP's or HP's. Myns hates HP's and FP's, but I heard using HK OEM mags may solve this issue. Other than that, it feeds flawlessly with standard fmj, and in my case, my RN cast subsonic loads.

Good buy! You’ll be very happy with the MKE. I got mine when they were being imported by Zenith and it’s been flawless.

If you can find one of these in stock, they are VERY nice for the price point.

I have an AR style collapsible set up that will make you MD SBR legal. $100 and its yours. All you have to do is pop 2 pins and swap.

I’ve owned the MKE Z-5RS and AP5 along with an H&K SP5. Both MKEs had the Action 3 cuts on the bolt face that’s supposed to help feed hollow points, but I never tried them myself. My POF has the original style bolt face and feeds HSTs fine from German mags though.

In addition to build quality, SP5 money gets you an F bolt group and ambi FBI 0-1 trigger group. If you care about that sort of thing, it’s cost effective to buy the SP5 rather than hunting down those parts to swap into an MKE.

The annoying thing about the SP5 is the dog bone semi auto shelf that’s unique to itself. It cannot take other trigger housings without modification. The MKE has a front push pin and takes regular housings, though sometimes requiring opening that front window a bit.

The AP5s certainly run and you’ll be happy with it though.

Due to a hip and lower back injury, I am avoiding steps. Here is an older picture of it on my AP5 fully collapsed. The buffer tube is longer than your typical tube, so it reaches 29". (Yes, it is a registered SBR)

I bought the Palmetto State Armory AR-V 9MM PCC. It's absolutely worth every penny. It uses the CZ Evo mags that's $15 per. The gun itself is under $1k. But to be honest...I just love the weapon. Lifetime guaranteed because it's from PSA and it's just 100% fun.

Those are very easy to bump fire off the shoulder with controlled and aimed bursts

Yep I was eyeballing those too, definitely look fun.

I appreciate the offer but I think I’ll have to pass. I don’t have plans to add an SP5 or clone anytime soon. I have enough parts for various things I was sure I was going to use someday collecting dust.

I got my Sig MPX K just for the reason to carry it in a back pack.
I got rid of my Sig MPX K because after 2 years I never carried it in a back pack.

I’m well aware that what I envision may not actually happen, lol

What do you do when you travel / hotel overnights etc? Just a pistol? I thought you just made a thread about this. Or do you have a folding AR?
