Can I put a stock (vice brace) on this making it a rifle without NFA?

Adair, yes you can, a stock would make it a rifle. Pistols can be converted to rifles and back. If it starts as a rifle it has to stay a rifle.

Adair, yes Sir. This would not be an issue whatsoever converting to a Rifle. Cheers and stay safe!

Why is this considered a pistol with a 16 inch barrel?

Adair, Pistol with a 16 inch barrel due to not having a Stock Sir. It is legal to purchase as a Pistol/Handgun. Cheers and stay safe!

Adair, it's perfectly legal (barring bizarre local laws) to have rifle length barrels on a pistol. It doesn't have a stock, so it is still a pistol. The SP5L was designed and manufactured to meet the definition of a civilian pistol.

Adair, since this doesn't have a stock it can still be classified as a pistol. A pistol can have a barrel over 16 inches but a rifle can't have a barrel under 16 inches. Not sure why the manufacturer decided to do it that way but it's perfectly legal. Hope this helps.

Can I change the barrel on this MP5?

*Yes* but at relatively high expense. Definitely a gunsmith task that you will probably want to ship it away for. And generally requires refinishing the gun as well.

Jose, yes. I would contact HK-USA to see what is available at (706) 701-5554, Hours (8:30-4:30)
