My HK SP5 broke on me with less than 400 rds through it

I'm 2K into the K and 5K into the standard.. both PTR's.

I got the mac mp5K aswell and it shoots good so far. Only time will tell ha

Yes just a spring. If I’m buying a 3300 dollar gun I’d hope to put 1000 rds through it without deadlined.

Yeah I get it, just tugging your chain man. I carry a couple of sp5 springs in my kit. Used to go through them until I stopped shooting reloads

Damn so reloads were your issues? You got them From a known good company? I actually used reloads. But I’m also shooting super safety.

Extractor springs seem to be the most common failure I read about outside of bolt gap. Sucks it happened so soon though. I’d be pissed lol

Yeah I ran reloads from a popular company for a little while but I won’t name the company. I only run new 9mm nato rounds now and haven’t had any issues even with a binary trigger pack installed. My Uzi didn’t like those reloads either

I’ll see what this rifle spring does. I mean I have no issues switching to new. Text how picky these are. What grain do you run?

Yup! I bought a pack. Upgraded to some rifle springs so we’ll see how it does

Extractor issues and magazine wobble tends to be the top issues..on the HK's.

Funny thing is I never had those on my clones, just the original HK.
The normal SOP was to buy extra springs and extractors.

Thing was it was limited to certain guns. Five guns on the line the same one has issues ever so often, the other four not so much.

I no longer own the HK's thanks to Obama's Firearms Inflation Act but have been more than happy with my clones.
I will be picking up a MAC in the future.

(The Firearms Inflation Act was Obama being elected and driving all the prices into absurdity...)

Ya there is a guy in my group that says he changes the spring every competition. That’s CRAZY to me. I shot 200 rds in one day with my stribog and zero issues. I’m going to replace the spring with a harder one and we’ll see how it goes. If I don’t get 1000 rds I’m done. I’ll get rid of my HK and the mac mp5K
