What will the stock be going on?

SP5 or clone?

 

hk is smoother and easier to install than the mke stocks on my g3 variants/HKs and clones as well as my single pin variants, HKs and clones.

 

For what it’s worth the SP5 SBR I bought second hand has a MkE a3 stock on it and it fits perfectly , goes on easy and comes off without too much trouble. The rails slide easily and hasn’t scratched the gun at all. It does seem MKE QC does let some bad ones out but I’m super happy with mine. EDIT: you can see the paint on it does scratch off on the rails of the stock so whatever finish they used is not as good as HK

 

Ich bevorzuge 100% deutsches Hecker & Koch

 

I have a Dakota RS and still went with an old school HK A3. I read the mixed bag of reviews and didn't want to roll the dice on a clone stock.

 

I have not had any issue with MKE A3 stocks but I only have OEM HK A3s on my HKs with the exception being some B&Ts on K guns.

 

In my experience German parts have 110%+ resale value. If you can afford in and it's available buy German.

 

Good point, I feel like it's only something that will be going up and up in price, even if other competitors like Magpul or MKE have similar offerings

 

HK A3 on my first SP5. It’s nice, but overpriced IMO.
I would go with the new A3 style if I could do it over again

 

You asked for advice on A3 stocks of which you have received, but Keith asked and now I’m asking again, what is the stock intended for? A clone, HK or otherwise? The responses will likely vary based on the host gun. Input and feedback is reciprocal.

 

Thanks for all the replies, I forgot to come back to this thread.

Stock is going on a nice SP5 to SD conversion. Obviously going German is ideal, but I'm not opposed to an alternative if it's nearly identical and saves $600. However, I don't really want a stock that scratches itself up, and it does seem like that's a problem with the MKE. Can anyone confirm if the newer (polymer endcap) A3 stocks have any issues with this?

 

On a SD build, it would be an absolute no-brainer for me. Just look at it as an essential part and cost of the gun. For me, and just my opinion, I’d look for an older A3 that’s in NOS to excellent condition and just embrace the suck of the cost. It will be much more valuable down the road if you decide to sell it or leave it in your family trust.

I may have an extra, but it would be in storage in GA. I’m in SC so we’re not down there that often.

I could have sworn I saw that unit sold on Storage Wars last week. 🤣😂🤣
