Looks like 2018 could be a good year for MP5 clones.

Awaiting to hear pricing.

Same as @HMP ... I'd like one, but need to know if it's attainable or if it's going to cost a kidney.

 

[HMP]

All these clones are 1600+ it seems like. If I'm buying a knock off, I dont expect to pay almost the same amount as what is being copied.

If PSA came in at a grand...they'd sell like crazy (as long as they worked ha)

 

[S&WNewb]

The CIO (I think that was his title) posted prices between $800-1,000. There is a screen grab floating around

NICE!

If I could buy a true HK for $1600 I would buy as many of them as I could. The HK SP5K is $2500. You can't find a 80's style MP5 for less than $4000. I have been very tempted by the MKE Zenith clones because they are at least licensed clones being made on HK equipment. They can be had for around $1600 up to $2000 with a brace. For me to look at the PSA it would have to be in the $1000 range. They have had too many issues with AR9s & AR10s to pay anything close to $1600.

I think that is the price point that they would have to hit to get he interested. The price of the PTR makes it a non-starter for me.

Keep shopping. I know of a certain vendor who is much lower than that

Do tell. When people had them in stock the lowest I saw was $2000 give or take. Honestly the for me the SP5K is not my ideal configuration which is why I did not buy one.

Do tell

Holler at @knifeman32

Keeping in mind that its a legit HK product, its not less than the PTR, but the 2500$, or 3k, as one quoted me, would leave you some extra funds for braces and ammo

I've always wanted an MP5, even as a good clone. I got to shoot one years ago and fell in love. They aren't as versatile as many other offerings but the cool factor is just so high.

They certainly found the right salesperson!

What is the E and F for on the safety? I assume F is for Fire, but E?

Late 2018 is such a long time away from now, wish we had some info on pricing at least

SEF
Used on the original MP5's, and still comes standard on most. Identified by an S-E-F pattern
(the initials of safe, semi-automatic, and full automatic in German), indentations around the safety lever, and finger grooves on the grip.

Thank you
Makes them a little less appealing, I know they are going for clone accuracy, but to have an option which doesnt work is lame, i my opinion

 

[Scsmith42]

E stands for “Ein”, which is German for “one”

They already ruined this with those pictures of cooked welds. They’re just disguising disappointment

The PTR brand might be more expensive but they’ve got experience with the system.

I'd buy that for a dollar
