I'm not real sure I understand the question but I'll try. My gun is the HK SP5. The stock is the fixed A2. Possible? As in possible to find one? There's quite a few on gunbroker. Practical? As in the 9mm cartridge or the platform? As far as 9mm subguns go, the mp5 has pretty well stood the test of time. There's newer platforms out there that have more bells and whistles, but the mp5 still holds its own IMO.

JRS3 Campfire Regular J Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 1,171 Florida	I should have worded my question better. The SP5 is a pistol, correct? To add a fixed or folding stock (not a pistol brace), it then must be classified as a SBR, which I am OK doing. How complicated is it to add the stock to the pistol? Meaning, does HK do this or is it an easy install? My local gun store makes it sound like it requires a shade tree mechanic type process to weld and “rig it” if you get my point. I’m questioning the mechanical conversion process; not the legal.

It would be added to an existing Trust. Dunno. Don't really care because I, personally, don't care for AR pistols or SBR's. Just not my "thang"!

You don't have to BE a gunsmith or PAY a gunsmith to make alterations to an AR. "YouTube" is your friend! 😉 LOL!
