First off, you can't just buy an MP5 receiver. It is considered a machine gun. You can buy an older HK94 but it'll cost you!
Several companies make pre made receivers and several members here make either receivers or full firearms.
Chopstix Kid and Ghilliebear are probaby the 2 most talked about people on the board who do either receivers,
partial builds or full builds. They both make GREAT stuff.
Other than that, you can buy a "flat" and roll it and weld it and finish it yourself.
You have a LOT of reading to do.. I suggest reading a lot in the reference section.
The UMP is less expensive to manufacture than the roller lock rifles. They are probably also
less durable. Parts for them are going to get hard to find unless they get more popular and
someone starts making more replacement parts for them, unlike the roller lock rifles.
You're also looking at $1,200 and up to buy an HK USC and another grand or so (or more)
to convert it to a UMP (semi of course). Then you're going to have problems getting mags
for it until someone steps up and makes U.S. mags for it. But the UMP is really cool!
