Anyone here into firearms?

This one doesn't go in the Z too often, but she's not a safe queen either. Since you can't buy these outright (outside of military or law enforcement) I had to buy most of the parts and build it myself (following the letter of the law, including all my SBR paperwork). Usually, HK UMPs are .45, but I converted it down to 9mm so that I could use my suppressor on it as well.


Good times. Trust me.

Very nice.
Especially in 9mm.
9mm UMPs are rare indeed so finding the parts and building one is awesome.

I have an USC and have been debating on converting it and SBR'ing it.

It looks like it says UMP on the receiver.
Did you re-engrave the receiver because it looks like an USC receiver.


G36 is nice too!

How did you get around the 1986 FOPA? Class 3 dealer?
Even if your G36 was converted to semi-auto only it will still be classified as a machine gun.
Is it a clone and not a real G36?

Don't mind me, just curious.

Yep. Started as a USC, and then had it re-engraved when I SBR'd the frame. In addition to the mods on the USC frame (cutout vents, sights, etc.) it has a UMP pistol grip that has been brought to spec with 922r compliance and a stock block to connect the UMP stock. 9mm barrel, bolt group, extractors, etc. There are a few other mods as well. PM me if you have questions. I would HIGHLY recommend going this route with your USC. Completely changes the firearm to what it was meant to be.

G36 was converted from an HK SL8 (so yes: clone). Had the rear cut off and an original G36 stock block plastic welded on. G36 Grip (converted for compliance and is totally non-auto, despite the markings). Forearm and other G36 hardware/barrel added. SBR'd and Re-engraved. I actually have all three barrel lengths for it that I can switch out G36E, G36K, and G36C (pictured).

I never knew how much I enjoyed gunsmithing and building until I got hooked on these guns and learned that the only way that I would ever own one was if I built it myself. Not trying to brag (too much), but my safes are pretty ridiculous these days with the hardware inside.

To paraphrase a quote from Professor X: "I feel a great swell of pity for anyone who comes to this [house] looking for trouble."

Send me a PM if you want to learn more about the process. I know a lot of good people who can help you gather the parts and do the custom work along the way.

Nice touch on the UMP engraving.

Seeing your build has reignited my interest in converted mine.
Found this on hkparts.net
ACR stock
Never wanted the standard UMP stock.
They also have the UMP lower I want and UMP mags fully made in the US too.

Damn, the nicest conversion I've ever seen!! Looks like the real thing.
Most SL8 conversions I've seen look fugly

Thanks!
Might PM you later to make sure I'm on the right track.

Your house isn't the only one.

Needed a better summer CCW. The sig sp2022 was just to big with my small frame and a tee shirt. I didn't want a S&W but I shot the best with it! Came with a 7 and 8 round mag. Time for a holster now.

Thanks Rusty. Its currently back ordered but will purchase once available.

What nice holster for a S&W .40? Any link recommendation?

Rusty

I use one of these when I wear a long shirt, or jacket.

FLETCH HIGH RIDE BELT HOLSTER: Holsters & Ammo Carriers: Belt Holsters at Galco

Tee shirt hanging out. Stuffed in the middle of my back, inside the pants. I use a left handed holster for this.

Uncle Mike's - The Leader in Shooting Accessories

Also have these tee shirts. They run small in size. So you have to get a size larger, maybe 2 sizes larger. They're tight. Also I have to wear a cotton tee shirt under them. The seams are a bit itchy.

My wife uses these.

I miss my Glock mod.#20, 10mm/ got it in 1992,,,everybody else had a 45 & i wanted something different...I was mid 20's then;so the recoil was ok...i liked the 175 Winchester silver tips 175gr.1300fps,,,could get rather expensive going shooting on aregular basis.
was married,got in a bind & sold it to a friend...tried to buy it back about 2 month's later & he had already traded it.
next one will be a 9 or .40(10mm short) don't want that much recoil.
You guy's have a Great Sunday!
