The Comcast Center (tallest, unfinished looking skyscraper) would be more towards the left if he lived in the "Graduate Hospital" area.

Fine looking rifle. Good work.

Your floor looks good, too. Is that real or Pergo? I'm going to need to refinish my floors in the coming years.

Its a stable stock, rock solid. I was at first concerned the cheek rest area would degrade quickly and that padding would junk up and rip off, but about a year and a half later its still like new, and its seen plenty of use and bad weather.

Thanks for the feedback on the long-term running of the stock. From the look of it, I don't think it'll go bad anytime soon. I have a 1" pad on my wife's ACE Skeleton, but feel that I don't need it for myself.

Or buy a HK SP89 instead, so you have a real german gun (swap out the semi carrier with an FA carrier). Tax stamp, stock and VFG.
Other than buying a real HK MP5k, this is the most expensive way to do it.

I do prefer as "German" an MP5 can be as possible. Been doing some research, but it seems I'll need to do a bit of saving and have some patience. I'm not going to SBR it though since I'll have to go the LLC/trust route. I take it that you are either not exactly in Philly or have an LLC/trust?

Thanks! Love it so far. I was concerned about the raised height of the rail, but I think it's actually going to be perfect for optics this way.

Thank you. The bamboo is real and came with the house originally. New construction and we've been here 2 years and it still looks great! I understand that bamboo is very affordable.
