HK MP5 22lr new release

[Mr. Blue]

The only pistol that is not required to be on the roster is a single action revolver. So just like every other rimfire auto, if it’s not on the roster, it’s a no go for CA. Be sure to vote for your gun rights. And basic freedoms.

People have been paying $1100-$1400 for these on Gunbroker lately, I'm glad I held out for their return...

It (the pistol version) is also an assault weapon unless you put a maglock on it.

Other pistols not required to be on the roster are dimensionally compliant break-top or bolt action single shot, C&R, and Olympic pistols. There are also dimension and capacity requirements for single action revolvers to be exempt.

100% will buy. Now to get hands on one…

So it needs a mag lock even though it's a .22???? The HK 416 22lr has all the features with no mag lock so why would the mp5 pistol? Barrel length??

Because it's a pistol that has the removable magazine outside the pistol grip. That is an assault weapon feature in CA.

It is also a pistol with a threaded barrel - which is another AW feature.

The 416-22 is a rimfire rifle so those features are ok combined with a removable mag.

There is no exemption for rimfire when it comes to AW features on pistols except for some Olympic pistols.

Don't try to make any sense of it.

Absolutely.

They do not break fully down for cleaning, the GSG versions are more of a pain in my opinion.

The rifle version looks sweet, I bet fun to shoot.

Funny you say that. I sent this to H&K back in March:

Dear Heckler & Koch,

Writing to you today in regards to the Walther MP5 .22LR clone that your company allowed to be produced. Why was this discontinued? It was a great firearm, and the demand currently is great. A new in box version just went for $1,500 USD today (3/29/21) on Gunbroker.com. For those of us in states like California, where ownership of an MP5 is near impossible, it's nice to have well made replicas in affordable rimfire ammunition.

Please consider bringing this back.

They actually replied with this:

We will pass your request along to let them know your desire to make a MP5 22. Although it will have to be tested for CA and more then likely it will not pass the requirements for CA.

You are welcome guys!

If I recalled correctly, those umarex brand 22 were a pain in the ***** to clean the internals, it’s overly complicated

Walther owns Umarex and they made the Hk branded MP5-22, the one sold by Hk, which is the most desirable version made.

Are you thinking of GSG perhaps?

Who makes the easiest to clean??

[Scratch705]

guess they are going with the SD looks to hide the ugly thin barrel that has to stick out?

[805thRCTank]

I hope they price the mags cheap for these. I remember paying 30.00 bucks each when they were last available on Big 5 long time ago.

Then the price doubled on a local gun show before Covid struck
