I need clarification on that. Last I checked "transferable" MP5s were selling for about $50K and up. And there was a shortage of them on the market.

Perhaps the ones you heard about were only Law Letter or NON-transferable?

Heck even semi-automatic MP5s from HK are worth a few grand as potential hosts. I am very confused by your post.

ANY amount of shipped ammo, whether it be 1 round or 1 MILLION rounds. We have to pass a background check to purchase ammo.

That I can see. If I'm a police department I'd prefer 223 caliber M16s to MP5s.

Nightstand gun/suppressor host is just about complete. Now just need to wait for my cans to get out of jail. Anyone else into NVG’s? It’s recently peaked my interest. Some night shooting would be fun

Have you checked out the Holosun SCS MOS???? I'm not a Glock guy, but those things look NICE for them. Still waiting for them to make one for a gun I own and then I will jump on them..........

You prefer the Holosun over the Trijicon RMR?? In my opinion the RMR has always been top dog

Just a great footprint on the MOS system. Looks like it was from the factory. Such a nice package on the Glock.

i got the .22 WMR version and people go crazy about the bang and fire of that tiny tiny round

the design of the AMT is just great. a nicer grip (wood) and some updated details would make it a really cool pistol... too bad they died

.22 wmr is really fun!

I was wondering how it was even fired like that! Should be no visible dot when looking thru the wrong way, right?
