    Have your gunsmith check the bolt gap on your MAC 5. I am a FFL and gunsmith and just purchased one of these to evaluate and found that the one I have has no bolt gap at all. HK specs are .25mm to .45mm which is .010 to .018 inches, With no bolt gap at all means that the rollers are not engaging in the recesses of the trunnion and therefore what you will have is almost a direct blow back firearm. This will cause undo wear on the firearm and shorten it's life. This is not good. I urge all of you that have purchased one of these MAC 5s to check the bolt gap on your firearm.

      That’s why HK commands the price they want. Just save up for a legit SP5 instead of the knock off ones.

    Bought the firearm and put over 600 rounds through her on its first range trip. (200 suppressed) Not one hiccup. I was advised to strip, clean, and grease(not oil). So i did. Also, only 2 mags was pretty rough on my thumbs, for 600, hahaha. 👍
    My philosophy of use for this gun was pretty simple. See if i like the platform, see if i want to pursue it and the like.
    Not everyone has 3k+ to shell out on a maybe. So, to me, a 1300 investment (sb brace, rail, cheap optic) was honestly in my budget, and obtainable as well as cost effective. Truthfully, I am a gun snob, but i i wasn't sure if i'd like the mp5 platform. So i went with this option, after being shown one in my lgs, compared to a real sp5. It was a no brainer, and also made it no so hard-pressed to drop money on ammo to test. For me? Well, I like it. I really do. And for what i paid for it, it was worth the experience imo. Will i own a hk mp5/sp5? Probably. Will you? Your mileage may vary.
    Hope this helps some interested parties.
    Definately worth the price of admission for this guy.

    I love it. MAC gets them through SDS imports, but I believe Mertsav, who is a subcontractor of MKE, is the manufacturer. So essentially the old zeniths, or current century arms package (hence why they share the same handguard, muzzle device, sling) but at a more affordable price. If you've been on the fence, this is probably as good as its gonna get. It beats out the ap5 core package sold by Atlantic Firearms while offering all the non-core items (aside from the brace) AND you get more mags. The mags alone make the deal for me and that's coming from someone with an AP5 and an SP5k. Had I known these were coming id have gotten it over the ap5

    For the full size, I got a PTR-9c first, then an MKE AP5 for outdoor range training. Now, you show up telling me I could have a grand in the bank if I only waited. Plus, I had to buy that B&T style flash hider myself. A lot of people said the PTR-9's were even too high which was when the AP5 core was released by Century Arms. The MP5 fence dwellers shouldn't be hangin' out anymore with the MAC. I'd still put an HK-C1 binary in that thing. It makes it an MP5 with ammo discipline. Semper Fi.🇺🇲

    Fired an MP 5 years ago in .40 SW. It was my first time firing a full auto and it was easy to dump a mag and and put every round on paper at 10 yards. Now 30 feet may not seem like much but as a full auto virgin at the time I was astounded how nice the recoil impulse was.

Nitriding does add life, but not as well as chrome plating. I wouldn’t worry about non CHF.

    The original handguard for the MP5 is the checkered handguard.

    Unless I'm mistaken - but are those rounds keyholing?

      Nah, the paper target doesnt have a backer so the holes just tear out kind of easy

    That slim handguard is the pre1978 one. The wide one is a big improvement and cheap.

    Love the content you earned a subscriber. I had one question, thought on the barrel not being chrome lined?

    • @lolheadgaskets9530
      @lolheadgaskets9530 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The barrel is chrome lined.

    • @BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER
      @BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is chrome lined. It's pretty much an OEM barrel you'd find for any of the MP5 clones.

    Prefer the skinny handguard. True old school MP5.

    Great video, guys! Question…does a Franklin binary trigger just drop in? Is it a ‘better feel’ binary…crisp, lighter, etc?

    I can't compare it to others but mine has been quite nice for a poor man's MP5.

  • @tlwisner
    @tlwisner 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    MP5 clone finally hit my price range for fun toy. Gotta have a brace or stock on this indeed. Just need to win the lottery and pick up a real MP5 but in the mean time MAC-5 will do.

    • @KennethSchmitt
      @KennethSchmitt 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My thoughts exactly. The sp5 is barely worth it anymore especially considering you could get a HK AR for 2-300 more for what they’re charging for it which would be more worth it.

    • @knight9145
      @knight9145 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m with you, need to win the lottery to get a real mp5. I think the cheapest I saw was about $72,000!

  • @CarlosGunX
    @CarlosGunX 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'm thinking, for the non-FFL/SOT, trying to SBR this would be a violation of "922r", which is a felony.

    • @BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER
      @BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This is a great point! The simple answer is, use a US-made MP5 magazine and you should be fine. Though I am not an attorney and this is not legal advise.
      I like how John Pierce breaks this down (short read). The ATF, not surprisingly, has flip-flopped many times over the years on 922(r)...especially with making an SBR from a pistol. johnpierceesq.com/does-922r-apply-when-building-an-sbr-from-an-imported-pistol/

    • @CarlosGunX
      @CarlosGunX 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER Thanks for the link. "Ten part maximum" of imported parts and this pistol is 100% made of imported parts. Something to ponder. All the channels I have seen about this pistol promote the same jargon: "you may register it as a SBR." As a lifelong NFA collector, I choose to avoid "grey areas." Your mileage, of course ,will vary.

    I picked up one of the AP5-P’s from Atlantic for less than $900 and glad I did. I may have to go for a full size MAC version.

    • @Richv3h
      @Richv3h 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I did the same. The AP5P’s are really good. They’re actually made on the same machinery as the real MP5s were made on for HK.
