No, I told him about the 3 lug barrel and he was surprised that it would have the same part number. He did say he was told it would be 2-3 months before the SP5ks come in according to the HK rep.
Got a call from a lgs that said they got one in and I was 1st on the list, so I took it. Aside from the SP5K manual and crazy amount of oil, I am pleased

I can't believe some (not on here) are complaining about the MSRP of this pistol. The quality is well worth it and I have no problem with dealers making a profit without gouging. Hopefully the demand stays high and HK pockets some dough.
"We have your order that you placed for the H&K SP5 at the discounted price. We will keep your order active but please understand that we cannot provide an ETA when we will be able to fulfill your order. We are at the mercy of Heckler and Koch and they do not provide ETA to their dealers and they allocate the SP5 Sporting Pistol in small limited quantities. Because of this it may take 3-6 months or more to ship your order out to you."
I wish I never saw this thread! I have a Dakota Tactical D54N and just got a RDTS MP5F built and wanted one of these bad! I think I just found one..called around everywhere and then aim surplus popped up on the list. Checked and there was one in stock for 2500. We'll see if it goes through but it shows out of stock now!
Geez man, you might want to check into rehab. Lol. DT & RDTS are top of the line builds. I understand the Zenith/POF/PTR guys getting into an SP5, but if I already had a boutique hand-built gun, I wouldn't be worrying about the SP5.
I could see this being true with the nature of HKs batch shipments.
For you Texas people I was told by an employee that Rays in Dallas received a handful of them but they were throwing on GB one at a time. Like someone else mentioned, the little FFLs are getting the $$$$ on as long as they can. Its hard to blame them. It makes you appreciate (and remember for your next purchase) the folks like my LGS that just priced them below MSRP like every other gun in the store.
the 1/2 ×28 and 3 lug are part of the barrel. no removing a so called adapter. would probably require a barrel swap. also they have chosen the 1/2×28 which now makes it factory correct for the sp5. so changing it to the 32 thread now makes it what the mp5 was . but if they made the mp5 now it looks like it would be the 28 thread. so in my case I see the 28 as fine. 4 threads in a inch ( which is only 2 threads in the length that they are threaded) isnt a big deal breaker for me.
I received the same email. Originally, when it was out of stock, they quoted a price of approximately $2,300. Pricing is going to be a roller coaster, Economics 101, enjoy the ride!
@apdrvr here you go, here is the ad....go down 2/3 of way down the ad and see the 11% off. The few exceptions noted don't seem to apply to firearms or the SP5.
Good luck
