Where do I find a semi-auto MP5?

Yes, so how are they installed? Pressed, pinned, threaded? I've got the equipment to do it, just never messed with one of these

I believe they are pressed and pinned.

I've never messed with one, but my understanding is that they are pressed. Getting them back in and aligned is the hard part.

not a clone... mine

That's sweet! Will you be bringing that out on the 12th?

I hate to be a dick, but just get a Beretta Storm carbine. Whether you own a Beretta pistol or not, its just far and away a higher quality better built pistol caliber carbine than anything currently out there.

This is from a guy who worked at a range that rented an MP5 Navy, works for a department that issues MP5K PDWs, and has an HK nut buddy with a Vector MP5 carbine and various other feature converted HK semi-auto rifles. I've got more time than most behind MP5s of various flavors.

The MP5 is a decent SMG, but its not the end all be all video games have made it out to be - ESPECIALLY not in a semi-auto only platform. There are better guns out there in that configuration. Look at the Beretta Storm, a used Ruger PC9, or a used Marlin camp 9.

What you really want is 5.56 power in the size of the MP5
Pun intended, its a blast to put rounds down range, at 200 yards!

My C93 pistol turned SBR'd HK53 clone. Masterpiece by Jeff Walters aka Ghilliebear2000 HKpro.

Both pressed and pinned. It's best left to someone who specializes in them.
