10MM?
DJ Getz, Dakota Tactical and Kelly enterprises are worth a look.
I was debating one of these as well but went with a USC/UMP conversion instead.

dude I wish. .40
I have an mke. It's a fantastic gun. It is on par with some the real hk mp5 that I have shot. It is finished well and solidly built. I have put only 200-250 rounds in it but 0 issues with feeding and reliability that seems to plague other copies in the past
I work at the international section of the F-Ramp at the airport in Atlanta, and saw a APD officer walking around with a true UMP45 (surprised me they had them) and it got me thinking how much I wanted one of those as well. How much did the whole build/conversion end up costing you?
I just saw the straight magazine and thought .40 or 10mm
Yes they are but being made on HK tooling doesn't equate to HK quality
You can get straight mags for 9mm too
Well, it's not "OLD" tooling, it's licensed tooling. I only correct this as the suggestion that it's old, kind of make a guy wonder if it's worn out. Turkey makes a contract copy, just like FN makes a contract M4.
I have a Z5RS. It couldn't be better. I seriously considered the AA89, but it's made by Todd Bailey's brother, and uses some Todd Bailey parts, which is NOT a good thing. Atlantic may cover it, but I decided on the contract gun from MKE over the Toad gun. If you don't know, google Todd Bailey and you'll get a taste of his past efforts.
My sights are straight, the gun is built solid, my Evo9 with triad mounts snug, the MKE mags are decent, but I picked up 10 HK mags for "cheap" on gunbroker (cheap as in under $30 each instead of $45-60 each). Since I was SBRing it, I put 1,000 rounds through it the first week to flesh out any issues. There were none. I had a couple FTF's when I tried running it wet. I put too much water in the can and it gunked up the action pretty quick. After cleaning up the mess I made, I have put another 700 rounds through it. I had one HK mag that wasn't feeding Hornady 147gr XTP's well, so I marked it. It runs fine with RMR 147gr triple plated subs.
buying points for the MKE over the AA89 for me were the spec CHF barrel over a stainless barrel, and the licensed MFG. The downside is, if you have or will get a sear, you'll spend a few hundred getting the MKE in a config that will let you use the sear*, whereas the AA89 is sear ready.
*The front pin hole in the grip frame would need a complete shelf in place before removing the FA bolt block in the receiver, and then a FA carrier would be needed.
