Why not go the collapsible stock route? I don't know anything about these, so I am just wondering. Looks great though, and it is unique!
Okay, I understand the compliance parts issue, I am dealing with that right now with my Draco, I just didn't think about the fact that it would also apply to an H&K. Also I can see that the collapsible would probably not be comfy. Either way, it looks pretty sweet!Couple of reasons:
1. The collapsible stock looks cool, but cheek weld on those things suck. It's basically just a metal bar, so it's not as comfortable to shoot, IMO.
2. To get enough US compliance parts for an MP5 clone, you need six. I replaced the sear, trigger, hammer and cocking handle with US parts, which makes 4. I added a US made buttstock and US forearm, which makes six. The US made collapsibles aren't as nice as the German stocks or even the POF's, and a german collapsible is like $400. If I used a foreign stock, I would've had to replace more parts with US parts and driven up the cost of my build.
Do you mind sharing what you have into this build NOT including the can? I have wanted to do one for years and have not done the research to know costs. If you don't want to share I understand.
