The HK34... a select fire MP5 with 12.5" barrel

This is a gun that never really existed or came into production fruition on the Heckler & Koch side of the house, and yet it has found its way out there in the wild through other manufacturers. To some, the concept seems silly, but I will tell you that it is magical.

The MP5 is an iconic submachine gun, and honestly, while it has a few quirks here in there with its manual of arms, it is truly one of the finest submachine guns in the world. It is also one of the most sought after semi-auto carbine and subgun as well with its original HK94 and sP89 and now the SP5 and SP5K.

I first saw this concept of a rifle years ago when Vector Arms made something called a V94L. It was essentially a normal, 94 style carbine with a 16" barrel, but what set it apart was that instead of having an MP length handguard, it used a HK 33 length handguard and a heavier barrel. It looked sexy and amazing and I knew in that moment I had to have one. I missed a few opportunities to buy one over the years and eventually found myself talking to a custom MP5 builder and owner of Revolutionary Rollerlocks in Texas. I explained to him my desire to have one of these built, and the original plan was to go with a 16" barrel and turn it into a PCC rifle. As we started talking, he mentioned doing something in a 12.5-13" barrel length since the gas tube had to be custom made anyway. I was intrigued, and that is how this firearm came to be born.

Will was adamant that I try the ACR stock and adapter that they had created, and my traditionalist side was adamant that we NOT do that. After going back and forth a bit, I realized that this was anything BUT traditional, as it was never a production gun, so I took a risk and went with Will's recommendation, and I could not be more satisfied. This stock, on this gun, is AMAZING!

I immediately put a registered trigger pack on the gun, and now we have a full auto HK34 style SMG. The longer gas tube reduces the rate of fire significantly which I wasn't considering when I did this, but I love that too. This thing shoots as smooth as you can imagine, and I cannot honestly say enough about the quality of the build, or the quality of the service provided throughout the whole process.
