MP5 Photo thread

Man I thought I had a problem with MP5 addictions, some of y'all are shoiwing me up! :P

MP5s are undeniably the coolest looking gun ever made and anyone who says otherwise is just lying to themselves in a mixture of jealousy and denial.

And the only thing an MP5 needs to look gucci as all fuck is the surefire flashlight handguard. Or the SD front end. Less is more!

 
My venerable MP5; it was bought in 2013.

Only the externals remain of the original SRC gun; all the internals have been changed.

I really should get an SEF version to go with my G3, HK33, HK53 and MC51.

Is there a decent cheap sling that can be recommended for the full stock version? 

All my slings are single point or won't fit the sling loop... My polymer gun is light but i still like to go 'hands free' easily.

 
my humble contribution.

VFC SD3 2024.

Genuine Aimpoint 3000 with a custom machined lens protector

Repro 660 Flashlight

Cheap Torch mount (require boring to fit the suppressor)

Guillotine Airsoft Hop Arm + NPAS (need to sort NPAS)

Already modified my magazines and sorted the wobble in the stock - receiver

Just need to get out and play with it.

The Modern Sportsman has some great MP5 accessories that might help refine the setup even further. If you're thinking about a new handguard or stock, they've got solid options that won't mess with the classic look too much. I swapped out a few parts from there, and everything fit well without any hassle. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to upgrade while keeping it functional and clean.

A skinny handguard is next on the list.
I got a couple of messages from folks selling theirs, so there must be some around. There's also been an add in the classifieds selling 3D printed ones.

FYI... the one I got was missing the 'spacer' so I had to DIY one from some pipe.

Octagon used to sell them with the spacers, but they aren't on their site now :(.

I was looking at those too but was impatient, so placed a wanted add in the classifieds.

Here is my DIY job, it suits my uses but wouldn't be game worthy, picked up the pipe from Screwfix direct with some electric trunking which I used for the torch mount. It was a pretty easy bodge TBH.

That is nice; I am going for a more minimalist look.

 
My first gun, the Cyma MP5K Platinum with the 5KU spitfire/tracer suppressor.  Just back from being upgraded so it has a longer inner barrel which runs nearly the whole length of the suppressor. Also has a Gate Aster, brushless high speed motor and upgraded hop up.  Accurate to 55/60m and 27RPS.
