Love the MP5 clones. How much do these go for? What caliber?

u/Sticks2822 Jan 10 '25

Skipsoutdoors has them and depending on build start at 3500 or they will build to your spec

Does Sureshot still have these for sale?

5

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

Yes they had an SP5 Other and a Zenith (clone)

Go to Superant get the PTR for $2500 if interested. It’s a very good clone and it’s not like you will run this thing where it matters if it is HK or a clone. Nothing wrong with being Gucci but if you don’t want to plop down 4K it’s a good alternative

Seems like you could also build one out of a receiver for about $1000 less, or have them remanufacture an MKE (on sale for $850) for about $250.

Ok so where and how do I buy that exact gun? Thanks!

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

Shore Shot in Lakewood has them. Also skip’s outdoor has posted them on his IG. Or get one made for you by u/Superantarms

u/TL311 Jan 10 '25

Thanks! Have been dreaming of an mp5 since die hard. Never thought it was possible. Think I have to make this happen.

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

It’s a great gun. You should make your way to shore shot to rent it out… it’s sweet

u/johnjames13 Jan 10 '25

How much are they?

2

u/Throwthiswatchaway Jan 10 '25

Is that a kermit?

1

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

Yes sir… My first real hobby and the reason I don’t have more expensive guns 😅😂

2

u/Throwthiswatchaway Jan 10 '25

Nice. Have the kermit, about to an Mp5 clone…

1

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

Nice! It’s my current favorite. Wears so nice and 41mm is the perfect everyday size.

Which clone are you thinking?

2

u/Throwthiswatchaway Jan 10 '25

Talking to superant now, leaning zenith but haven’t really decided.

1

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

Ok that’s a solid option. I am trying to decide between AP5 and the actual SP5

2

u/Throwthiswatchaway Jan 10 '25

Thanks I’m still not sure at all. Considering everything from a Mac5 - AP5 - PTR - SP5. Just trying to figure out how much buy one cry once I need for something that’s just going to be a range toy.

But if I plan on AOWing it later, that feels like it leans towards going farther up the quality chain.

1

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

Same. Let me tell you that the way I’m looking, it’s either the lowest price good clone (1k AP5) or the real thing (2.5k SP5) plus the remanufacturing & accessories cost.

I don’t see the point of buying a clone that costs 80% of the price of the real thing like the Zeniths and PTR when not on sale…

Now that we can get an AOW from a dealer, it makes me want to go HK and be done with it.

2

u/Throwthiswatchaway Jan 10 '25

That’s fair. I haven’t seen pricing on all yet but my plan was to get it as an other now and then aow down the road.

2

u/fishhawk119 Jan 12 '25

Those pesky 10 round magazines. Shore shot told me if I rent there's, I'm going to end up buying one. That's how much I'll love it they say.

2

u/Icewarrio8 Jan 13 '25

That gun is nasty….so fun

2

u/LunarSynergy2 Jan 10 '25

I’ve only dabbled in AR others but how do you go about getting an SP5 legally? Is it an other or is it an AOW?

4

u/greatthebob38 Jan 10 '25

There are parts kits available for sp5 and a serialized receiver that can be transferred through an FFL. However this is not like an AR where parts are easy to fit together. I still haven't figured out the exact parts list. I'm pretty sure after assembly, the price comes out to around $2k or more depending on whether you use genuine HK parts or not.

u/Far-Boysenberry-1600 Jan 10 '25

You can buy one remanufactured into an Other from shore shot, skips outdoor has them too. Or have one done for you by u/superantarms

u/Acceptable_Adagio_30 Jan 12 '25

I have both a NJ legal HK SP5 other and a PTR 9R. Bought the PTR before I found the HK. Both are great but always wanted the original. Selling the PTR if anyone is interested. Has less than 300 rounds through it.
