The main thread I checked for availability of the SP5 was closed the other day. I'd like to use this one to post any deals people find on the SP5, them actually being available and ideally for less than MSRP.
If could get one locally otd for $2500 I would buy it, the lgs wants $3000 plus taxGot the call today from one of the LGS's I was on wait list for (the cheapest of all I called here in Michigan). They have one waiting for me. Sucks that have to pay the piper tax but OTD will be just shy of $2525.00. This make #2, first was just shy of $2650.00 with tax. Whittling the cost down. Still waiting for the $2400.00 OTD ones that supposed to be in this month. Hopefully they come in and as consecutive SN's, 1 for me and 1 for my son. Then I will stash the other 2 for the rainy day slush fund.
Edit: Was pleasantly surprised when I got to the LGS to pick her up. The final tally was a little lower, $2490.95

I hope the bottom falls out on the price of these just so that company has to off them. Not sure what those greedy terds are expecting to gain. They could have sold those over and again if they were reasonably priced. I for one would never consider buying anything from them and I hope more Michiganders do the same.
I did find it slightly humorous that some went so far as to bitch the thread pitch was not 1/2x32 to accommodate their KAC cans or that it was not sear-ready, thereby discarding the gun altogether.Many of you are about complaining about getting, essentially, a state of the art, current production MP5, without a shoulder stock and full diopter rear sight, but with the state of the art German MP5 barrel, threaded, in addition to three lug, a fully ambidextrous Navy style trigger group, flapper mag release, and pretty much what any of you would pay $5500-6000 for a 94 with a 16 inch barrel, with no flapper release, an ugly steel 0-1 housing, and yet paying half of that is unacceptable? Then you would take that 94, and pay big bux to put a three lug (German if you're lucky) barrel in, flapper mag release and be into the kit for what, $8000?
I don't get it.
Forgive my frank tone. These guns aren't for bargain hunters. This is the first real effort from HK in DECADES to actually listen to what the gun buying public wants. Clones can always be had for less. Will at some point supply exceed demand and cause a price decrease? Maybe, but for now, viruses and world events are having an effect. They are reviving the roller lock PCC market, singlehandedly.
Change my mind.
An 870 will work just as well at a 10th of the cost...but hey.....if that’s the reason you need to justify buying one... so be it..........I’ll buy one, but only as a home defense “throw-away”, ending up in the evidence room.
