Bucket list.......check!
I was able to bring home a brand new, no clone, real deal HK SP5 tonight. This has been one of my dream guns (regarding non-full autos) since they were first released to the USA market. Amazingly I found a brace in stock locally. This brace is only temporary, as the eventual plan is to form 1 and go with a legit stock. Cost efficient, certainly not, but I am allowed to dream. The next step is a can for it and some extra magazines. I was informed that the transition to full digital ATF form 1 and form 4's opened up officially today. Perhaps in a couple of months once they get into the swing of things I will move forward with the can.
I can't believe I found one of these in the wild. I've wanted one for quite some time, and was seriously considering going with the Sig MPX-K, which is a fine firearm in it's own right (recent build generation to be specific), but the HK has always been at the very top of that list.

Sorry for teasing the thread about this and then taking so long to post pics. There was a long traffic jam on southbound I-44 this evening. Once I got home I had to familiarize myself with field stripping, bolt disassembly, putting the brace on it, etc. Then I just stared lovingly at it for awhile before I remembered I had to post pics!
I just wanna slap it!!
