Was initially turned off because of the glossy black paint that appears thicker than normal hk series guns and the fact MAC has a history of screwing the community over.

Anyways will say the case it comes in is nice, actually useable not cheap throwaway , unfortunately as soon as you add anything to it like optics , rails, or brace / stock it’s too small to use and sits in the back of the closet .

Gun is Very accurate, easily hitting 6” steel plate offhand at 100yards with irons or mro trijicon.

My flashider would not mount easily at first , it must have had a burr or something as it went away with enough fiddling

Gun will not reliably shoot anything 115gr or lighter

It works well with good quality 124gr ball or heavier with a supressor no problem

Bolt gap 0.018

Utg and AC unity mags will not fit at all, not even close, won’t go into the Mag well

Original HK fit fine , even better than the ones it came witn, although they are just fine

I have run about 500-600rds with zero cleaning , only adding some clp spray through the ejection port

Only issues thus far are failure to eject or weak ejection but I suspect the ammunition as other brands of ball run fine .

Will not run or reliably feed open mouth hollow point rounds , will try some other filled version and see.

I think for $900 they are best bang for the buck out there right now

Recently picked up a 1k rds of white box Winchester nato 124gr

Having all sorts of short stroking issues , POA and accuracy problems along with poor ejection when it does work.

My mac5K runs fine with Aguila / S&B 124gr or anything else European and 124gr or heavier

I can usually hit a 6” plate easily with irons or my MrO at 100 but with the Winchester it’s all over

Anyone else having issues ?

Sent Winchester an email with the lot number but no reply in about a week

Just got back from the range, overall extremely satisfied with SKOs SS performance on my ptr-9ct.

Breakdown of rounds expended: Shot a total of 2340 rounds: 1980 rounds of 124gr ball blazer rounds, 60 rounds 124gr flat-tip federal rounds, and 300 rds of 115gr Aguila.

Malfunctions: Had a total of 6 malfunctions: After around 1500 rds had four failures to feed on the blaze ammo (due to how dirty the weapon was), one light primer strike with the federal (my mp5 has always had issues with flat-tip ammo so 1/60 is pretty good), and one aguila round caused the bolt to get stuck forward (very odd malfunction. when we inspected the round it appeared to have came jacked up from the factory, not likely to have been caused by the weapon or the SS).

TLDR: Four malfunctions were caused by the weapon being extremely dirty and the other two were caused by the ammo itself.

Overall had a blast today at the range and drew a crowd of people who all fell in love with the SS. I’ve shot many transferable mp5s but none have compared to the comfort of shooting the AR style lower and it has functioned better than some of the real mp5s I’ve shot. 10/10 on comfort and reliability, would recommend Sko prints super safety any day of the week.

What's your personal experience with this specific ammo out of your MP5?

I went to shoot my mp5 today and subsequently realized I seem to have misplaced my extractor somewhere in the void that is the gravel of my range. Oddly enough I have a handful of extra extractor springs just not an extractor itself.

I heard they were doing some snake shit with people's card info..

What's up with that? They're still reputable after that?

Is there a list of MP5 clones currently in production?

I know of a couple, AP 5 and of course the SP5's but I'd like to find a list of all of them currently being made so I can compare and do my own research before buying.

I was looking into getting one of the MP5 40/10 flats to make a 10mm and I saw in the description that one of the calibers that works with it is the 9x25 Dillon? I had a 9x25 Dillon Glock 20 a while back and it was a blast to shoot! Has anyone made an MP5 in 9x25? I looked it up but I couldn't find anyone that's done it. I was just curious how well it shoots and handles in that caliber. I may try it out myself.

Finally came in today and I’m stoked to try it at the range. Fits great after sanding the back 0.5mm to fit with the KES stock. Overall feels amazing in my non-Northman mitts compared to the SEF trigger housing, AR15 style lower is my new go to for sure!

Looking to buy my first mp5/mp5 clone. What do you recommend and where can I find it in stock?

I have a binary in a zf5 and want to go pictogram housing with selectors that line up in the different positions. What are my options? I know of the spacer needed for ambi housings. No problem there. But would like them to line up.

Hey y’all, getting a price check on selling a full navy lower housing take off from the ap5sd.

I recently picked up a new Flux legion and the day I picked it up they had a SP5 come in the same day. Would I be better off the flux and getting the SP5 or a would a MAC 5 or AP5 be the way to go.

looking to buy an ap5 soon and seeing as I have a rugged obsidian 45 and 9 suppressor with 9mm end cap id like to have it on there when I shoot. i fear that the obsidian wouldn't look good with the SD since the diameter is only 1.37, and about 8.6" long, and not 1.57 diamaeter like the can "should" be, so there would be a noticable gap between the handguard and the suppressor. I don't plan on buying another 9mm suppressor anytime soon since the one I have works perfectly for everything I want, so that being said, would it be better - aesthetics wise, to go for the regular ap5 instead? I honestly like both enough to where I don't mind one or the other,and at this point it's whatever would look the best/coolest with the suppressor i have already. thanks for the help!

Can anyone with a AP5SD and a CAT MOB suppressor verify it fits? I don't have access to a CAT dealer to check. MOB shows 1.65" and when I measure the SD opening looks like may be tight or not fit. Thanks...

Hello everyone,

Does anyone measure the SP5 with MagPul SL stock with the stock retract (close)?

Thank you very much 😎 And hello from France 🇫🇷

The only thing I want to add is a flat grip trigger pack and possibly a dedicated can. Otherwise it’s lookin pretty!
