MP5

Taylorwso, do you - or anyone on here - know approximately what year date range that H&K made MP5 magazines without date codes?

Well, I tried to attach a picture, didn't work.

Here's one for the H&K Experts..... I just discovered a few MP5 30 rd 9mm mags in a box that had been stashed away for probably 20+ years, and I am curious about their origin and vintage. Some of them look brand new and are marked MKE. My understanding is that these are Turkish mfg. But I also thought that Turkish MKE MP5 mags had plastic followers; the ones I just found stashed away have steel followers. Did earlier vintage MKE MP5 mags have steel followers, but at some point they switched to making the mags with plastic followers? When? Or...??? I'm also wondering if these (presumably "early") MKE MP5 mags - with the steel followers - are just as reliable as the German HK mags? Anyone have experience shooting these in an MP5 (full auto) or HK94 and can comment on their reliability? I also found a few MP5 mags simply marked "9mm x 19", with no date codes, no other markings; and they also have steel followers. All of the German HK MP5 mags I have seen in the past had date codes. Did H&K in Germany ever make MP5 mags without date codes on the mag body? Any ideas from the Experts as to origin and vintage on this one? See pic.

I just submitted my very first eForms transfer, a Form 3 to another FFL/SOT. What is the current expected processing time for these? Do they send you an email when it is complete, or do you have to keeping logging into the system and looking for it? (Does it "pop up" somehow when you log in, and let you know it is done/approved?) I'm new to this eForms stuff, always did it on paper before! Thanks for any info/advice.

What pre-May's are you interested in? You can get some transferables - MAC's, MK760, etc - for less than or close to the same as Pre-May HK's, Uzi's, etc.

Need to replace cracked recoil buffer for an Uzi SMG, and maybe some other small parts. What are the good sources for Uzi replacement parts?

The date date code of my Pre-86 German MP5 is IF, for (I believe) 1985. The bolt is also date coded IF, actually it shows IF 092. Is there any significance to the 092 numbers after the IF? Anyone know what the SP on the bolt means? The bbl is date coded IE 1L. (1984 .... what is the significance of the 1L?) Is it common for a bbl to be date coded the year prior to the receiver? I'm 99.99% sure this is an all original gun, I got it from a PD in 1990, and the original transfer paperwork from H&K to the PD was dated 1985, so they didn't have it long and I doubt they changed anything out. I'm guessing that the H&K armorer at the factory just grabbed a bbl off his rack that was date coded one year prior to the receiver he was working on. Can anyone confirm this was commonplace? (The trigger group also has a [1984?] date code on it of 3IE.)

I've got several pre-86 Dealer Sample Uzis and HKs that I might be persuaded to part with..... message me what exactly you are interested in.

Clean looking gun. Was it ever re-finished? Looks like it is in much better exterior finish condition than most of the Pre-86 MP5's that came out of PD's years ago.

PM sent, many thanks.

Anybody use a document like this?

Does anyone have a sample Sales Contract or Agreement "template" that they'd care to share? I'm specifically wanting one to use for selling NFA weapons, that lays out both Buyer and Seller expectations, terms, etc. A Word doc that I could modify would be great but I'd be happy to get anything to review. If you have something you are willing to share, please PM me. Many thanks.

Got any spare mags you want to sell?

I have a NIB SP89, been sitting in my safe for over 25 years. PM me for info if interested.

I have several Post-86 SMGs I might be willing to sell, PM me.

Is the best time to do this at FFL renewal time, assuming the FFL renewal is coming up soon? Is there anything more to it than just checking another box on the renewal form and sending the proper fee?

I'm just curious......... looking at Centrifugal Arms post, it has "Form 10" in parentheses. As a general point of discussion, how could any gun that was on a Form 10 at some point in its history, end up being transferred out of a LE agency to an SOT on a Form 5?

I have a Powder Springs MAC-10 .45 I might be willing to part with. Message me, if you are still looking.

I have a Pre-May Uzi and Mini Uzi, let me know if still interested.

Hi Buddy H........ When I try to reply to a thread/topic, that paperclip and the "Click to choose files" does not appear in the lower left of the box, as your depiction shows. Do I have to be a paid subscriber for that to appear?

Is there a way to attach or insert a picture as a jpg attachment directly from one's computer into a reply to a discussion? (I'm not trying to post an ad.) Because when I try clicking on "insert existing attachment" I get the box that says The page you are trying to access is not available for your account pop up. Or is the only way to do this by from an externally stored location (photobucket, etc) by using the "insert image from URL" button in the Insert Other Media drop-down menu?

What would be the serial number range you are looking for?

Yeah, BrettBaker, that was a bit of a Senior Moment for me. I'm talking about the original suppressors that came with the late 1970's era Powder Springs .45 cal MAC-10's, they were big(-ish) cans and, IIRC, typically had a black fabric cover. Were those cans made by MAC, or made by someone else and just usually marketed/sold along with the MAC-10 SMG's?

Curious what these are going for, can't find any listed anywhere. Experts, your thoughts?

If you are still looking for Pre-May's, message me. It might be time for me to get rid of a couple. (Uzi, HK)
