H&K MP5 questions

[trinitrotoluene85]

I was thinking of getting a 9mm rifle (mentioned in another thread). I really like the H&K MP5, and have a few questions (maybe better suited to the NFA section).

Does anyone have any experience with these rifles? Good or bad? Would they require an NFA stamp? According to H&K's website the MP5 N has an overall length (with stock extended) of 27.25 inches which would avoid an NFA stamp (even with an 8.85" barrel) right? On the H&K website, it's listed under Military and Law Enforcement, as opposed to civilian and commercial. Does this mean that it's not available to civilians for some reason (obviously by this question, I'm neither military nor law enforcement)?

Note: I'm aware that the rifle in the photo is select fire including full auto (which would require and NFA stamp). This photo is just a reference of what I'm interested in getting, in semi-auto only.

Find a used 94. No stamp but $4k

NFA = anything under a 16" barrel regardless of overall length. Unless it's a shotgun, then it's 18"

Rifles have to have a 16" barrel, and to get one like that, you need a couple grand plus the 200.00 tax stamp for a SBR. I personally think a 9mm smg style carbine is way more practical/efficient than a 223 powder burning, fire breather, omfg its loud, 22 cal, underpowered sbr, any day, and its a shame nobody makes a HK mp5 carbine for a good price nowdays.

Look into the ATI 94s. Or if your definition of "good price" stretches to ~$2500, check out Vector Arms.

Wow! That ATI 94 is exactly what I'm looking for. However, it looks like the 9mm has been discontinued, and that they only have that style for 22lr still in production.

Is this true?

aw c'mon! Plinks are hella fun.... and more importantly cheap! Practical, not so much

The gun in your pic is select fire and not available new to commoners, only the king's men may buy them. A legally transferable one will run you about $17-20K, if you can find someone willing to part with one.

What king? And who are his men?

They are the ones that couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

This is why you get a new barrel for your AR in 300 Blackout and shoot 220 grain rounds. Way more impressive than a wimpy 9mm and blows 223 away, all in the subsonic role.

 

[Mayday671]

Consider an AR in 300 Blackout. Absolutely beautiful in the supersonic role with a 110 grain 7.62mm bullet or the 220 grain 7.62mm bullet in the subsonic role. This is a pic of my blackout rifle. Its way more impressive than 223 or 9mm in both the subsonic and supersonic role and recoil is less than 223.

300 AAC is the answer for the AR SBR world! But I got a Draco SBR so its perfect for me. Stay away from 223 in a SBR.
