    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    I'm assuming that's a real deal HK... The more I think about it, the more I need to order the real one and have the barrel work done. I'm fairly sure I won't be happy otherwise.

    That looks like a Cobray and an MP5 got drunk and one of them ended up pregnant.

    Recipe Anyone own/use dehydrators?

    I have a funny story about the time I tried to make banana chips, but ended up with little black hockey pucks... All I can say is that it's best to get one with a heating element and a fan to circulate air. I have a hand-me-down from a coworker with just a heating element. It works ok (soak...

    I'm not sure why I'm after this thing anyway... I have something that does it all already, but doesn't look quite right...

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    Where do I find one? (Although, honestly that handguard has always looked a little funny to me)... I love the classic lines on the MP-5K

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    Well, the Sig's gone, but I'm still not sold on which one to order. Damn I'd order the HK in a heartbeat if it weren't for the threaded barrel problem... dammmmmmmit. Honestly, the HK is still probably what I'm buying. Then having the barrel work done. Needs more reading first.

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    I've shot a few FA's before- and they are cool as hell, but I've also had a M9/11 and hated the stamped steel, welded frame. I realize the HK is also a stamped steel welded frame, but it's a German stamped steel welded frame. I was seriously comparing the prices on the Omega vs. a FA Mac when...

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    Oh yeah... by the way, that's bout $5K more than I sold my old house for... although I'm the bank, so I get to keep all the interest.

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    Well, a few dollars more (about $400) rapidly ballooned after I learned that I'd need a barrel (cheap one at $170, expensive one at $400) plus a minimum gunsmith charge of $350 on top of that...

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    I originally set out with the Omega in mind as the front runner... until the real thing showed up for a few dollars more.

    What an emotional roller coaster...

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    I know.... that's the parts built (not real HK) from Arkansas. This is the real HK from Germany: http://www.deguns.net/hk-sp5k-for-sale-M750900-A5-642230255197-p/m750900-a5.htm And not threaded in a way that's usable with a suppressor apparently.

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    Holy crap... here's the fix (and additional $400 for the barrel plus gunsmithing): https://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/B-T-MP5K-SP5K-SP89-3-Lugged-Threaded-Barrel-1-2-X-28-152p17894.htm

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    Annnndddd.... the plot thickens. Apparently the front sight post and handguard interfere with the threaded barrel on the HK SP5K... who the hell is the genius that came up with that configuration?

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    I'm meeting a guy in an hour or two to sell this Sig. That puts me basically at the buy price. I still need to make sure the thing has a threaded barrel- the website description is kind of terrible as far as specifications go.

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    Not yet... I'm sure it will be out of stock by the time I get a minute to call them.

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    I can agree with this- then @George P. Burdell made me spend another couple hundred for the real thing. I just have to be sure it's threaded.

    MP-5K... I'd love to hear your opinions-

    It's just the cool factor... And I've always wanted one. Damn why are cool factors so expensive?
