    MP5 clone?

    I have this desire to get an MP5 clone for some reason. I know GSG makes the .22lr versions. Does anyone make a decent 9mm version that's not like $2k+?!

    I have no idea why I want one, but I just do! Seems like it would be a fun gun to shoot at tin can alley. (This is how I ended up with a lever action! Just because)

    I'm all ears!

    I don't think you will find one for cheap. $1800-$2k seems to be what even the clones go for.

      And they are not all great even in the 2k price range.

        I would recommend a Coharie Arms CA-94. Unfortunately the recent panic will only drive price upward. But prior they were on GunBroker selling for $1200-1700.

          Keep the recommendations coming!

          Maybe I'll get a GSG .22lr instead.

          Anyone in the Bay Area know LGSs that stock any of these (GSGs included)? Hopefully the hysteria hasn't reached the rimfire toys yet!

            If you are going to get the .22, get the "HK" Umarex MP5 .22 clone. A little more expensive than the GSG, but much higher build quality. Big 5/Turners has them around $450-$500.

              I would recommend an MKE AT94 A2 if you can find it. Mine has run flawlessly.

                MKE 94 best clone I've seen. Shoots so smooth so fun.

                Good luck finding one they were getting hard to find before this stupid panic crap.

                Careful buying a clone there are some that have a lot of issues. Check the forums at HKPro to research.

                  I third the MKE 94. They are make in Turkey on actual H&K tooling. It just doesn't say H&K, but the quality is there. So your essentially getting a real hk94

                      Yep.. this is what I got right before the insanity.. $1800 and it has a VERY good reputation.. ready for FA with a licensed sear kit



                      You can spend more.. but this seems to be a good value.

                        Yup, flawless. So smooth, my son loves to shoot it too. It was my grail gun for a very long time. No reasonable offer could be enough to sell it.

                          Love my MKE AT94...

                          There was actually someone in the classifieds who was selling one for $950 last week I think... needless to say it last about "two seconds" before it sold especially at that price.

                            Uhhh made on HK tooling and 'licensed' by HK...essentially it is an HK, just manufactured at a different country and stamped with a different name. Saying it is not HK unless it is made in Germany is a weakpoint. Thats like saying all the Toyotas built outside of Japan aren't real Toyotas! Hahaha I guess you also believe a gun isn't a real HK unless it was built with German hands.

                            Just to note, MKE is not a private or family owned company....it is a government ran company that manufactures military firearms for the Turkish military.

                              As an owner of the gsg-5 that just got mine running again from yet another failure, avoid all gsg products. I'd sell mine but to subject someone else to a gsg product borders on criminality
