Re: H&K SP5 (MP5 is back).
The sear isn't the issue, it'll drop into any trigger pack. It's having a BCG that will work with the sear.
IANAL, but you must be very careful what you do with the receiver. I believe it is allowable to weld on a full sized shelf, then remove the BCG block. If you do not weld on the full sized shelf, you will have created a new illegal machine gun, granting you 10 years in prison and/or a $10000 fine.

Re: H&K SP5 (MP5 is back).
i bought the PTR version about a year ago. I had problems with the SB Brace. The brace was putting a tight squeeze on the back of the lower receiver causing the bolt group to hang up. It has been corrected and I believe the SB Brace manufacturer made changes to their brace for that gun due to others having the same problem.
I should also mention the PTR version is a lot cheaper.
I do own the H&K sp5K. It appears to be better made but it has no threaded or three lug barrel and no paddle mag release. I was able to buy an aftermarket paddle mag release kit and install it. However, there is a thread at the H&K forum that says the new SP5K has a block preventing the installation of the paddle mag release. There was no explanation as to why H&K did this.
My point is H&K may make a better product but their civilian changes they made to their guns is getting ridiculous.

FWIW I once heard Palmetto State Arnory has one in the works too. Me personally I'd be fine with a replica. Same as Justin, I prefer my Scorpion and MPX both of which have more modern features like LRHO & flared magwells

HA, shots fired on another forum.

The H&K MP5 and its variants , the UZI , and the Thompson Sub Machine guns are all classics. They earned their place in firearm's history. There were improvements made in subguns and their semi auto only versions such as the CZ EVO and MPX but there not as famous. The CZ EVO looks like a mattel toy and SIG rifles and carbines always seems to be in the state of transition.

Re: H&K SP5 (MP5 is back).
As a former owner of the Zenith, I have to say the experience was disappointing. MP5 is a grail gun for me. A semi version was just a big, heavy Beretta 92 or Sig 226 without that switch. It looked good but not worth it. I built a nice AR 9mm for about 25% of the price, I'm happier with it. If I had been born about 5 years earlier, I would have had a few full-auto toys. Unfortunately, just as I hit drinking age, the Hughes amendment crushed my dreams.
