if your talking about buying a demilled kit , you gotta swap out the auto parts for the semi parts , not impossible but a bloke in the USA i know doing it reckons its a heck of a job and he's been building for years , MG42's , RPD's etc etc etc

how handy are you ?
theres a group call the weapons guild and onbe of them there is working on a brilliant semi convertion for kit's i'm actually banned because a sponsor there did not like me making parts and making a buck ( but if you go as a customer there should be no problems ) then made up lies that i was importing MG's to the USA ( no i make parts to make MG's semi auto and i have a BATFE number to prove this ) look up weapons guild and then ask about the MP5 kit and semi stuff he may have it ready to fly or be real close .. ( while there grab a copy of my MP5 clone plans it dont use MP5 bits but looks like the MP5 , i've posted in the downloads section you'll see most of em are my posts ..)

Johncv66, your question about "is it illegal to..." the answer is yes, it is illegal to assemble a machinegun unless you hold an 07 or 10 federal firearms license and have paid the required annual special occupation tax (Class 2).
