My HK MP5/10 build thread

[CJ]

What about proper reimportation of the firearms? Lol

I think you're confused as to what we're talking about. They are legally imported parts, and they will both leave and return as legally imported parts.

I am completely down for said trip and willing to donate for the cause!

Dont waste your time with HKparts. They are way overpriced.

I decided to cancel my project after some research and speaking with HK gunsmiths. Apparently much to my dismay the 10mm MP5 variant was cancelled because the receiver can't handle the cartridge. Apparently after 5-10k rounds the gun basically comes apart with broken welds, receiver cracks, bolt cracks, etc. This is the reason why the MP5/10 disappeared. 10mm holds no prisoners.

I just couldn't put all that money, time, and work into a completely custom HK only to have it slowly kill itself. I'm thinking I'll just buy a PDW like you have and call it a day.

Yeah, that may work. That being said, they stopped importing them but there are a few out there still. It is an AT94k made by MKE on HK tooling. Gunbroker has a few left.

There is a 10mm version of the auto-ordnance, that would be way cooler.

I haven't looked but I estimate their price at around $2,000+ given the MP5/10 semi auto prices. The 10mm is a peculiar cartridge. Probably it's worst enemy is the invention of the .40 S&W. It caused most all manufacturers (Colt, HK, Tangfolio) to just convert over .40cal designed weapons because it was cheap and easy - which caused nothing but problems and explosions. The original Delta's cracked frames, the MP5/10 fell apart, the early Witnesses cracked frames...etc..etc... The cartridge just developed a bad name because of cheap ass manufacturers cutting corners. If the .40 S&W was not crapped out for limp wristed FBI agents I presume 10mm would be stronger than it is, and far less problems.

Glock had the smarts to build a new, beefier frame for its 10mm guns and use it as the platform for their .45 ACP guns...

Of the Auto-Ordinance what?

Do not want. I was hoping you'd say M1 carbine.

[Nash B.]

If I were going to do something goofy with an M1 carbine, it'd be 45 Win Mag or 10mm Mag.

Oh gawd, now I have to fight the urge to add another gun to the list.

No fucking thank you.
