Hey all - My birthday is coming up and I've decided to treat myself. I've always wanted an MP5 (what child of the 80's hasn't?) and now is the time for me to get one. Granted, my decision has been made never having handled one before. Thankfully a member on a local gun board has offered to let me shoot his Zenith MKE, so hopefully I'll get to shoot it next week.
In reading here and other places, I've mostly narrowed it down to the HK SP5K or a Bretheren Arms BA9.
My budget is in the $2000 - $2500 ballpark.
Since I haven't yet set up a trust or gone down the NFA rabbit hole, it will need to stay in pistol configuration at the beginning. After purchasing, I definitely plan to SBR whatever I get. This is where the BA9 comes in...being US made, the SBR conversion should be simpler to comply with 922r (no changes necessary for a US built gun). And down the road further, I may add a suppressor. Though I really like the idea of having a true HK. For reference, both my ARs are Colt and all my revolvers are S&W.
Full auto is not legal in Washington, where I live. So whatever I get will stay semi-auto.
Do you guys have any guidance for an MP5 noob? After reading threads here and articles elsewhere, I still don't know what I don't know. So any help is appreciated!
