RT23 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hi All, looking to buy buy my first gun, an MP5 like this one: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/Airsoft-smg/mx5-(mp5-sd6)-adjustable-stock-version---black.htm#.WaQ71EHTWEc I would like to know what mounting supports would be needed for a holo scope and if a foregrip can be attached? I have issues with my wrist so would like the flexibility to change from a rubberised barrel and a foregrip if possible. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You need one of these to fit a red dot sight https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meco-Tactical-Short-Mounted-Picatinny/dp/B00BULECKM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503954541&sr=8-2&keywords=mp5+picatinny My other half has one on her MP5. No idea about foregrip, but I would guess you'll need to change the current grip for something with a picatinny/keymod etc John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR01 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The SD6 does not have any facility for attaching a foregrip, as it is based on a silenced model. You would need to look at something with a railed front end to be able to add a foregrip to an MP5. Something like this: http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/ICS-MX5-P-MS1-Folding-Stock-3-Round-Burst-Black_A17OVZ.aspx?nh=124118#.WaU9KtHkWUk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the SAS approach: Then as seen on an Airsoft version: Life.... uh... finds a way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT23 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 thanks for the response all! I think I will see how I get on with the horizontal grip, then think about the jubilee clips if I have issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted August 31, 2017 Supporters Share Posted August 31, 2017 Just grab the magwell like everyone else. Including the peolple who have a vertical grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshOnSnow Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Honestly, an MP5 doesn't feel right without the signature underside grip. I mean sure, with an M4, it's big, it's long, and if you have open RIS, it's sharp. If you have the classic round handguard, it's bulky, so a vertical grip is a natural choice there. Same goes for the L85 which has a sort of M16-vietnam-style triangular thing going on. But the MP5 is compact. Sleek. Unassuming. I think you'll be quite satisfied with an EOTech or compact Reflex sight, maybe a double mag joiny thingy for super quick reloads, because IMO that's really all you need on an MP5. If that.
