NOT project: JG MP5SD6 - Partial Upgrade.

[Asomodai]

The MP5 is on its way back now. Hop unit Tracer installed as well as all the new compression parts, hop parts and barrel. It was a longish delay in getting the work done, but have been given a big discount on it as apology so I am a pretty happy bunny! 

I should get it on Monday, which is when I will install the additional scope rail and mag release extension. We'll see how well it fares!

Got it back, the ROF on a 9.9v LiFE is incredible. Firing at 350FPS on the dot, The TM motor is really doing well to push it along. The Tracer modification is pretty damn good as well, ultra bright and doesn't shine as much light down the barrel itself so I can stay relatively concealed in dark areas without my position being given away. 

The hop unit however still adjusts itself within seconds of full auto, so it needs to go back to the tech. We are looking at a TDC mod to completely side step the inherently bad MP5 hop design.

Who done the work on your mp5 as I’m having trouble finding parts to work in mine and your post is very helpful.

I sourced all the parts myself apart from the Tracer parts. Alan at Landwarrior did the work.

How did you remove the front hand guard? I’m having a hard time think mines if fixed I’ve the solid stock variant. I’ve included a picture for reference

I am sure you can find a YouTube video of this which is far better then any explanation of mine in words. 

Take suppressor off, remove the tab in the centre of each side of the handguard and slide the handguard cover off. 

To take the tube underneath the handguard off would mean essentially unscrewing all the screws you see on that tube.

I think because yours is front wired it’s made differently. I’ll try searching the web for those parts and how to disassemble.
