I received this item and have had it out to the range once... At 25 yards, all of my shots were impacting WAY too high, even with the rear sight clicked all the way down. Luckily, I noticed a replacement front sight post in the packaging, although the instruction manual makes no mention of it. The front post installed at the factory had a 1 marked on it and the replacement post has a 2 on it. The #2 post appears to be a good 1/16" taller than the #1, which should bring the bullet impact down, presumably into the proper area for 25 yard shooting. The sight post is simple to replace with just the included allen wrench (I recommend a dab of blue loctite). I haven't been able to re-test it, but if the bullet impact is properly lowered, I will be happy.

As noted in some other reviews, the gun is heavy, which gives it a substantial feel in my opinion. Also, the collapsible stock design may be uncomfortable, especially for larger adults, but it is an MP5 replica, so it is what it is. It would be nice if the stock had a bit of drop to it. HK also offers a fixed stock accessory that might be more comfortable for some people. A red dot on a riser would also probably make the shooting position much more comfortable.

If you are planning to mount any sort of optic, you will need to install the MP5 rail mount first. The OEM rail is $100 from HK... I'm sure it's very nice, but that is still expensive for a rimfire weapon. All of the knock-off rails that I have researched do not appear to fit the 22LR without modification... except a version made by MetalTac, which claims to fit the Walther/Umarex HK MP5 22LR. It can be purchsed from a very popular online retailer for about $30 with shipping. I have one on the way to test out.

Overall, this is not a precision benchrest rifle, but it is a very fun way to shoot lots of inexpensive ammo.

Other than a pretty sweet looking gun this thing is very good.

It is a very solid (6 lbs) but feels like a high end gun should. Everything moves & fits perfectly.

I have put about 200-250 rounds down range so far and it is very accurate although if you try to use the standard sights & have big ear protection on it is a little awkward (not the guns fault) but it is fine if you use small or in ear protection.

My wife has shot it & also really likes it (the 12ga Mossy 500 Chainsaw was way to much recoil for her). This as about as much recoil as a mouse fart. Partly due to it only being the .22LR and partly due to the weight. Either way it is a very fun thing to shoot & very cool to look at.

As for buds, shipping could have been a little faster BUT with all this gun ban crap at the moment I was not expecting super fast so I'm fine with it.

I would highly recommend this gun to everyone and would also recommend getting a couple of extra mags (if you can find any) as you get through the 25 rounds pretty quick.

This thing is nice. The build quality exceeds my expectations. Just put 500 federal bulk pack through her with 1 issue and that was probably ammo related as the round didn't ignite. Normally I would have a few FTF or FTE each range trip, but not this time. Honestly I took her out of the box, loaded her up and let her rip. The target I was shooting at was 37.5 feet away and I was making nice small groups while sitting but not resting the rifle. Trigger feels decent right out of the box. The telescoping stock is a little short for me, as I am 6' 4", but serviceable for sure. Magazines are expensive as they run about bucks.

All in all I am happy with my purchase.
