Tri lug suppressor for MP5? Anywhere in UK, or have to look abroad?
As a rail style they are good but you really need to match manufacture to manufacture for best fit. All the MP5 receivers are slightly different for each make.

I picked up a ‘who knows who made it’ one off Fleabay for my JG SD MP5 and it fitted fine .

They seem to have a lot of... "opportunities"... https://www.youtube.com/c/NegativeAirsoftTech/search?query=ares
Hmmm, maybe not then ?
His videos have already put me off getting a VFC (well I was looking at Umarex but it seems VFC make them) as he's not exactly complimentary about them either. Happy to get my hands dirty and do a bit of servicing and tinkering but if it's going to need work straight out of the box or be a pig to work on then I'll look elsewhere.
Will stick to the brands in the 'what gun to choose' thread, got a Krytac and an ICS on my shortlist so far.

Krytac not recommended then ?
Starting to think I should just ask what is!
That said, I like the look of the ICS CXP MARS S3, the only thing I'm not sure about is a microswitch trigger.

Krytac had issues with the receiver cracking around the rear body pin plus they have a number of proprietary parts.
Microswitch triggers per se aren't a problem these days as long as they use a decent quality switch. As the gun you mention has a fancy programmable mosfet in it the microswitch won't be passing big current so it should be fine. Of course, being a proprietary mosfet (ie not an off the shelf unit from someone like Gate or Perun) then replacement options are limited if it goes pop.

They sorted this on the newer versions though, I've had each and every version from the start but never had a receiver crack on me even after falling on ver 1s etc but they are solid internally, admitted some proprietary parts but easy to overcome and have always been strong for me,
Just get what you like the look of really, ive got the mcx and had zero problems on standard internals for over a year, design for wiring etc is abit meh but I can take it apart and put it back together in about 5 minutes now it's personal preference and not being so negative would be against his name ? had a tm delta when they first came out and it stripped the piston so 50/50 on any rif you are buying in my personal experience

I've heard it said that other manufacturers use pot metal with a higher aluminium content than WE.
How would they know this?. Many Americans seem to think that KJW use better alloys than WE and are generally better products. I have seen no evidence of that. In my view KJW and WE are pretty much the same. WE has made some pistols that are horrors, it is true. But then WE makes far more models than KJW and some of its pistols are pretty good for the price.
Is there any reason to think that VFC and KWA whose products are substantially more expensive, use better pot metal than the others?

Possibly a maruzen/daisy. If you join & post it on my page, Spring-soft there are people who may possibly know for sure.
