I ordered one from Brownells during the Black Friday sale. They seemed to have more than anyone else during the intitial sp5k launch. I was told they should be able to fill my order mid January. $2287.01 + tax.
How did you find out they'd fill the order by mid Jan? I called CS today and was told something to the effect of "We don't know when pre-orders or back-orders will come in, for any item."
Thank you guys for all the info! Very helpful. I ordered from Brownells on Dec. 3 mid morning. I was about to start calling around but it was just too easy to just click on the “pre-order” button, get a fair price, and roll the dice. (Plus they won’t charge the credit card till it ships!) I’ve spoken to CS twice and they both said “mid to late January”. Let’s hope that works out and they get enough guns for all the pre-orders. Having a SP5k sbr I almost convinced myself not to jump on the Sp5 bandwagon but who are we kidding...
Imagine if HK decides to sell the SP7 [MP7] you'll read everything from HK loves us to the it doesn't come with the HK customer service girl rep to wipe clean my mags.
SP7 would be a whine fest. Whine about the 5 round mag, then whine about they're sold out and can't get one. When restocked, rinse, repeat. That's bananas.
My LGS gave me a smoking deal on the SP5. I called to special order it two weeks ago and they were happy to honor the price I was originally quoted - this is a great reason of why I like to support my local shops. They only got one in and won't be ordering anymore, so please don't ask where I bought it.

Lots of differing information out there. A LGS who sells a ton told me this when I asked about being put on a list:
from what HK tells me, any gun store will be lucky to get more than one in the next 6 months.
He said it wouldn't be worth it to put anyone on a list. A handful of other stores were willing to put customers on a list. Several others were like "uh, we don't know".
I don’t know, just going by what I was told. I’m out no money and if one comes up prior to, I’ll buy that one as well. But to post a rebuttal about dealers only getting 1, many have posted in here of their purchase dealer have multiples and there is a sale of consecutive numbered pairs from one seller on Gunbroker to support that.
Btw, did anyone elses bolt carrier look not so hot? Mine was all mangled looking with bad welding. I'm seriously depressed to have to say my PTR looks way better lol.

Got mine today from my local dealer, I had put my name down about two weeks ago and it came in today. First, and so far only, SP5 they expect in. Serial number in the low 250s. No manual. Finish is comparable to my SP5K.
Anyone know for sure if the SB HKPDW brace will fit????
Has anyone watched the InRange SP5 "Time Trial" video?
Ian has a new (as of November '19) Gearheadworks/Choate collab brace.
I didn't know an appropriate subforum to start a thread on the brace, apologies in advance if it's a major faux pas to drop this in the middle of a busy thread.
Do any of you with previous HK94/MP5 history have experience with this style Choate stock? I'm googly-eyed over this brace, anticipating my SP5 soon from Brownells.
I think it looks good... would be very disappointed if the lockup had a lot of slop though.
