How about now? Is it on the way?
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-

Holy crap... here's the fix (and additional $400 for the barrel plus gunsmithing):

Ok..... It looks like it's both threaded AND has the HK 3 lug. Where does it interfere?
I know.... that's the parts built (not real HK) from Arkansas.
This is the real HK from Germany:

And not threaded in a way that's usable with a suppressor apparently.
I originally set out with the Omega in mind as the front runner... until the real thing showed up for a few dollars more.
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...
@dial1911 just bite the bullet and take the plunge. Go full HK!

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.
But you'd get the MP5, HK53, AND just think how epically amazing it would be to unleash hell at the range with that HK51! Mmmmm. That would be the highlight of my life I believe....
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 all this started. I couldn't quite justify getting into the FA game from a cost standpoint (although I'm sure they're only going up in value).
Is go with the new strike industries MP5 upper since I am not even close to a traditionalist.

The non-glass embedded plastic aka steel looks sooo much saxxyer.
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.

Don't forget to add the cost of the folding stock and SBR stamp! Thanks for reminding me why I don't have one. I was almost ready to buy one again..
