Re: NEW MP5's Coming to the US?
Now many of our readers will want to know if H&K (Germany) will be exporting these guns to the USA and elsewhere. Decades ago H&K exported the HK94 Carbine, a semi-automatic 16″ barreled version of the MP5, and the HK SP89, a semi-automatic version of the MP5K, to the USA. Today these are highly sought after guns and worth $3,000 to $6,000+ (depending on condition). Gun owners without that kind of money have had to make do with guns built from part kits or clones imported from Turkey.
The good news is that Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) have declared that the HK SC5SD and HK SP5K are not “weapons of war”. This makes them easier to export. The HK SC5SD in its current form is unlikely to be imported into the USA because the BATFE would not classify it as a “sporting gun”. There is no reason why the HK SP5K could not be imported into the USA as a pistol. We fully expect HK-USA will be importing these in the future. There is a huge demand for them.
