First Look: H&K M5.22 LR Pistol And Rifle

Officially licensed by H&K, the MP5.22 LR rifle is made in Germany. The pistol has a Faux Suppressor and Telescoping Stock. The pistol has an End Cap Sling Swivel. MSRP: $479. Many people were excited when H&K began importing their SP5 9mm semiauto MP5 clone in 2019. Fewer people were as excited when they saw the price tag. The new MP5.22 LR pistol and rifle are a great option for those who grew-up watching the MP5 in action on the silver screen. The MP5.22 LR rifle & pistol share the same iconic look as the original sub-gun, but cost over $2,000 less than the 9mm semi-auto counterpart. And unlike the SP5, the new rimfire MP5.22 LR rifle & pistol, which are both manufactured by Umarex in Germany, are semi-auto, direct blowback firearms. Umarex and H&K have partnered previously to produce rifles similar to their.22 LR HK416. The barrel length of the rifle.22 LRMP5 is 16.1 inches, while that of the pistol is 8.5 inches. The rifle version is seven pounds heavier than the real MP5A3, probably due to its longer barrel length and heavier bolt. The rifle or pistol?
The MSRP for both the rifle and pistol versions of the.22 LRMP5 is $479. These guns are only used as range toys and trainers. The differences in barrel lengths will not affect the decision of most people. It really comes down to whether you intend to suppress it, SBR it, or both. The.22 LR MP5 rifle model has a 16-inch barrel to legally have the MP5 A3-style retractable Stock. The extra barrel length is covered by a faux suppressor that gives the rifle the appearance and function of the integrally suppressed MP5SD. The rifle version’s barrel can also be threaded but it will be more difficult to suppress. The pistol version is therefore better. The MSRP for both magazine sizes is $35. The guns will begin shipping to dealers in October. Target grids and bullseye sizes can be downloaded in MOA. Perfect for long-range shooting! Get free targets
