Does anyone know if someone sells a colapsible shoulder stock for a HK SP-89?

Now here comes the loaded part. It is illegal to put a stock of any kind on a pistol with out the proper paper work. Putting a stock on a pistol with out registering it as a SBR (short BBL rifle) can cost you 20 years in club fed with $200,000 fine.

Depending on where you live you can buy/make these legally but you will need to do the NFA paperwork. Along with the paper work it requires a $200 transfer tax. Do a search on NFA to get more answers, or we can help with many direct questions.
Thanks again,

Nwcid,
I forgot to qualify that by stating about the NFA tax stamp. I am just to damned used to being a state where they don't want us to have any fun.
There is a legal answer, and that is to put at least a 16 inch barrel on it before you put the shoulder stock on.
I do not know much about the way the MP5 series is built so I could be very wrong about this but changing a bbl in them is not very simple task. Plus making the gun a SBR is legal as well in most states and you don't have to mess with the bbl.

Why not? There is nothing illegal about this AS LONG as you do the NFA paperwork. NFA paper work is not a big deal, it just takes a little time and $200.

I feel ya. We are not allowed to have SBR, SBS, or MG but we can have the other 3.
